Itchy-fingered band harlot John ‘Speedo’ Reis has grown bored of inactivity and has thrown together a new line-up, comprised of ex-Hot Snakes members and the bass player from CPC Gangbangs, as the Night Marchers ready their debut album.

The band’ll play live shows, too – see further down the page for that Californians, Texans; everyone else gets news on the contents of See You In Magic:

‘In Dead Sleep (I Snore ZZZZ) ’
‘I Wanna Deadbeat You’
‘Jump in the Fire’

‘You've Got Nerve’
‘Open Your Legs’
‘Bad Bloods’
‘And I Keep Holding On’

The record should be out through a combination of John Reis’s own Swami imprint and Vagrant Records on April 22nd in the US, reports Pitchfork. Click to hear traxxx now at MySpace.
