Sounds Like	...taking a bite out of a sandwich with crunchy lettuce... NEWS MONDAY, JUNE 16, 2008 FAREWELL TO ERIC After 6 years of creating and playing music together, we are parting ways with our best friend and bass player Eric Dillon. Eric recently got engaged, is finishing up college, and is getting a job. We fully support his decision and wish him the best of luck in the future. Eric is parting with the band on good terms and we will still remain best friends with him. As for Triumph and Parade, we will be continuing on full force in our musical careers and hitting the studio to record our next EP -or- full length within the next few months. Eric will be tracking bass on the next CD as well as filling in for us in our upcoming shows until we find a permanent replacement. We couldn't have imagined a better friend/musician in our band than Eric. He will be missed immensely in so many ways… especially his on-stage collisions, unlimited peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, his unique, in-studio, vocal-tracking techniques, and his unbelievable southern accent. In regards to the situation, Eric had a few words to say. "Well, this is the end of something that I never thought would end. I think that being in this band has made me realize my passion for music and I wouldn't have been in a band with anyone else. There's not much better than being with four of my best friends and doing something that is our passion. I have had the most fun I have ever had in my life on tour, at shows, and even at practices. I have memories that I will cherish forever. Anyways, I just want it to be known that this decision was a very serious and hard decision I had to make. It did not take one day, let alone one week. It took literally almost a year… so do not think that this was a spur of the moment decision.... I just wanna say that this band is nowhere near being done. They haven't even been close to reaching the top of their potential. Each and every song that we had written was insanely better than the last. …So to the fans reading this, just wait. They have the opportunity of a lifetime to blow this thing wide open and I know they will do it. I can't wait to be watching them at Metro and poo-ing my pants while watching them play ridiculous music in front of ridiculous crowds... well, I'll see everyone around." -Eric We will be posting a new blog very soon regarding our search for a new bass player. We hope to see you all at the shows.

we're going to disney world. then we will mix, and then you will hear it. be excited. we're excited for you to hear it. still no word yet on the EP release show... as the cd gets closer to being done, we'll let you know when and where it's going to happen. it's gonna be good, though... so you better be there. if not, you're a shape that is not circle. it's also not rectangle. do you know what shape you'd be? hope all is well. stay warm - because if you're anywhere in illinois, you're probably either wet or cold. this state is good at doing things like that to people. winter is an odd time, folks... an odd time. don't drink and drive. we love you all. come to shows when we play them. the answer to the shape riddle was square, by the way. square. oooooh yes. you'd be a square. see you soon. scot Wednesday, February 13, 2008 hello friends. today we write to inform you all of a new project we've been working on. over the last couple of weeks, we've been recording our next EP. it's going to have five songs on it and they're all acoustic. three of the songs are acoustic versions of songs from our last six song EP. the other two are acoustic versions of some new songs that we've been playing at shows over the last couple of months. we've been doing the majority of the recording at a place called "Pragma Studios" in Chicago, but a little bit of it has been done at home, too. the music for the EP is basically all recorded except for a couple minor things that will be done in the next few days. we'll be doing vocals over the next couple of weeks as well as getting everything ready for the release of the cd, which we will try to make as soon as possible. we're extremely excited to release something new for you all to listen to. as soon as we have everything done and ready, we'll be posting one or two songs here on our myspace and on our purevolume so you can hear them. there will be a cd release show for the release of our acoustic EP. we'll post more about the show once the recording is closer to being finished. keep checking back as we'll be posting updates on the recording process as well as the release. we can't wait to see you all again and we can't wait for your to hear our new music! see you at the shows! scot Tuesday, January 1, 2007 hey friends, new blog is up. we had a battle this new years. it was us vs. the balloons. wanna know what happened? check out the blog titled "NEW YEARS EVE '07." there's plenty of pictures for your enjoyment. enjoy. love, triumph and parade Saturday, December 1, 2007 First of all, I want to thank every single person that voted for us for the MTV contest. We really appreciate that everyone voted their asses off and got us to first place! Unfortunately, even though we got the most votes, they did NOT pick us as the grand prize winner! How funny is that! haha We do not know who won but I would like to say congratulations to whoever did. Best of luck to them and I hope the rest of their contest experience goes well. Things we learned: 1. We have awesome fans 2. Music should not be a competition 3. Coffee is best consumed at a warm temperature Thanks again, Richard Wednesday, November 7, 2007 Hey everybody!!

The more you vote, the better our chances of rising to the top! Official Online voting will start November 15th and end November 25th.

Wednesday, April 25, 2007 NEWS UPDATE Hey everybody, Just wanted to write and give all of our amazing fans an update on all the different things that are going on with our band and things that we are looking forward to. We released our 6 song EP recorded at Exit Studios (Chicago, IL) and mixed at Gravity Studios (Chicago, IL) in June 2006. We were fortunate enough to work with Engineer Mike Hari and I can say that even now almost a year later we are not disappointed with our decision. However, this year is already booming through and I made a list of things we have accomplished and also some stuff you we can look forward to seeing in the near future: 1. Yesterday we finally purchased a Tour Van. We should have our trailer within a month or so. 2. Pursuant to the purchase of our Van we are currently booking a one week tour in late July between the 21st and 28th. 3. Scot (guitarist/vocals) recently purchased a wonderful Pro Tools set up in which we are utilizing to record all of our new material that we have written since the EP release last year. We will not be releasing these songs; however, we will be using these as pre-production in preperation for when we do decide to record some new material again. 4. June 23, 2007 we are playing Mobfest at Elbow Room in Chicago. The show will be huge and most likely sold out so if you are 21 or over and you want tickets let us know! 5. We remain on www.thedailychorus.com top 30 unsigned bands list. This is a great website for bands and for fans who want to check out some great unsigned talent world-wide. 6. We have acquired a dedicated and strong street team who are all of our amazing fans who help us out more than they can even imagine. (If you are interested in joining our street team just add the street team myspace in our top friends and we will send you a message with all the details) 7. Since the release of our EP we have had the opportunity to share the stage with signed acts such as: A Static Lullaby, This Providence, Park, The Pink Spiders, Tokyo Rose, So They Say, I Am Ghost, A Classic Crime and Asteria. 8. We were featured on Q101 Street Fight last month. 9. In summer of 2008 you can expect to see Triumph and Parade on tour full time as for this year 2007 we will be doing as many out of state shows as possible so if you want us to play your city just message us with venue/band contact info! Thank so much to everybody that reads this and does care for what we are all about! Triumph and Parade TRIUMPH AND PARADE - Set In Stone

About Triumph and Parade

biography

"A painter paints pictures on canvas. But musicians paint their pictures on silence."

Triumph and Parade consists of five members who are not skilled painters, but artists none-the-less. Instead of brushes, they use instruments and a unique collaboration of ideas as their own swift stroke of creativity that help separate themselves from today's typical indie-rock band. Constructing songs with captivating melodies and harmonies, along with raw, chest-pounding, guitar-driven elements, the band continuously succeeds in creating a vivid image that resonates in listeners from all genres.

After relentless practicing and performing, the band recorded their 6 song, self-released EP. It was tracked and mixed in Chicago with producer/engineer Mike Hari at I.V. Lab Studios and the famed Gravity Studios. Once the songs were mastered at Sterling Sound in New York, the first track from the EP entitled "At Least It Felt Like A Promise," was selected over hundreds of other bands to be featured on Sterling Sound's "Emerging Artist Player" on their website.

Though they are unsigned, the group has shared the stage with several national acts such as A Static Lullaby, The Receiving End of Sirens, This Providence, and The Pink Spiders. Gaining recognition from independent music news sites, Triumph and Parade are featured on The Daily Chorus' "Top 40 Unsigned Bands" section along with other accomplished unsigned bands from around the world.

Since the release of the EP, Triumph and Parade has sold more than 1,000 copies at local shows, on tours throughout the midwest, and through various online sources such as SmartPunk and iTunes. "These 6 tracks have catchiness, sincerity, truth, and more energy than a 6 year old who didn't take their Ritalin." - somethingpunk.com
