09.14.08 - Productivity = The Thirteenth Hour
A second Klog update in as many days? Holy crotchless
jeans, Batman! And no, you will never know what the hell is
up with all these inside joke references, just read the damn
update! (Clicky...)
09.12.08 - Klog-ing with Beavis McTreevis
Freaks, it's your boys from TTH checkin' in once
again! Efforts at recording our new EP are bearing fruit that
may end civilization, and which just might be able to overcome
your metal-disappointment if you happen to buy a certain band's
latest turd of an album today. ...And do you notice something
missing just below this update? Hmm... might want to read the latest
Klog!
08.26.08 - Recording, Klog-ing, drinking whiskey
at the crack o' noon!
Freaks, I see you once again binary-boarded over
to good ol' TTH.com hoping to hear an update on the recording
process for our new EP... And do you think that just because
you looked, magically an update will appear?!? Ok fine, I guess
you're right: Click for the
Klog!
08.12.08 - Return of the Living Klog
Freaks, the ever wordy son-of-a-bitch, KT, has
(finally) provided us with our seriously over due Klog fix!
Which is good, because I see you all out there going through
the dt's and it's really not attractive. Get it together, read
the Klog-ing goodness
(read: "mess of inside jokes"), and get to spreading
the word for a bass player! And yes, this was written on 08.10.08
and took a couple days to make it on the site, sorry 'bout that.
P.S. If you have forgotten why this thing is called
the Klog, look back a couple updates through our archives section
and bask in the understanding.
P.P.S. If you didn't know it by now, we are a
METAL band, so "I play a lot of progressive blues"
guy is probably not going to dig this shit! If you want to play
bass for us, it really helps to like our music!
07.24.08 - Bassist needed immediately!
I know you're thinking "Huh? Didn't they
just get a bass player?" Unfortunately, Brook was not able
to stay on as our bassist, which we knew was a possibility.
Due to current commitments, he has elected to move in another
direction. We wish him all the best is his future endeavors!
...Which brings us to a bassist search once again!
With all the guarded mystery about this strange
month and a half demo writing time that KT has been writing
about in his "Klog"
column (see below), we now feel that we should let some of the
cat out of the proverbial bag, namely being that we were
asked to write and record a showcase demo for a well known metal
label. We thought we would show them how fast we can work
and set this deadline for ourselves, but have since been assured
that it is the outcome that matters, not the lead time. We calmed
down, concentrated on writing the best material we can, and
are now set to record, starting 07.27.08. Without a bassist,
Andy Oliphant and/or Kevin Thomas will most likely end up recording
bass tracks, but we MUST have a bassist soon for obvious
reasons.
If you are, or know of, a bassist with the
gear, chops, and attitude to be in a serious (and hopefully
soon to be touring) metal band, you need to contact us! Email
Andy, andy@thethirteenthhour.com
or call 661.492.7828 (serious calls only, fuckholes). You must
be able to reherse in the Antelope Valley area (north of Hollywood),
and be ready to gig ASAP. **Male or female** (if
female, must be hotter than Kev)
If you aren't a bassist, or aren't interested,
tell someone who might be. If you don't know someone who might
be, tell someone who might know someone else who might be!!
This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to step into a spot
like this and not start from the ground up!
05.13.05 - Klog, Episode 2 Service Pack 1
Christmas time is here, Freaks! Well, not really,
but our bizzare working titles for new songs continues. Click here
for the latest Klog (AKA "Kevin Thomas' Untitled Blog"
for those of you that haven't seen the past episodes.)
5.09.05 - Klog, Episode 2-beta
What's up Freaks! In this rare (and hopefully
unrepeated) early morning edition of Klog we once again realize...
Kev writes alot! ...er, wait, I meant to say the mean 13 machine
is still at it, and roaring towards this demo! Or crawling...
something-ing anyway! (Click for Klog)
05.05.08 - The number of the Klog
Freaks, I think ol' KT has lost what was left
of his mind on this one. In this third episode of the latest
internet craze known as Klog (standing for Kevin Thomas' Untitled
Blog), we discover previously unknown connections between Mario
Batali and The Thirteenth Hour... apparently both have professed
their love for god-forsaken footwear. Click if ye
be brave enough!
05.04.08 - Klog, episode 1.5
We figured since it will be a regularly updated
piece, the Kevin Thomas untitled blog (hereby know as Klog)
should have it's own space, apart from Brendan's "Rants"
section. Check out the latest update, click here!
(the Klog is a pop-up window, so make sure your pop-up blocker
allows it).
05.03.08 - "Rants, Facts, and Bitchery"
returns!
Brendan Leeigh's irregular column returns this
week with guest writer (and TTH rhythm guitarist / vocalist)
Kevin Thomas. In his first installment in the chronicles of
writing an EP, we delve into the previously un-seen depths of
The Thirteenth Hour's inner bowel... or something very akin
to that anyway. CLICK HERE! (or go
to the rants section under the "news" section to the
left).
04.12.08 - Press
Check out the interview with Brendan Leeigh for
GearByOwner.com in the Press Releases
section under the Band Bio.
See the first unveiling of his new Rockett Drum
Works kit!
Filmed at Winter NAMM 2008 @ the Rockett Drum
Works booth. Since becoming an endorsed artist under their previous
name, Brendan's involvement with the company has grown, and
he became even more hands-on, signing on as Project Manager
(you can see him on rockettdrumworks.com
as both artist & employee).
04.06.08 - Press
Check out the press releases
section under the band bio to see Brendan Leeigh's new Rockett
Drum Works kit in Drum Business Magazine, reporting on this
years Winter NAMM Show in Anaheim, CA.
04.01.08 - The Thirteenth Hour announces new
bassist!
We're proud to welcome Brook Spencer into The
Thirteenth Hour as our new bassist (at least for the time being)!
Brook is a good friend of Brendan's, and has agreed to fill
the bass slot for the immediate future. What poor ol' Brook
doesn't know yet, is that after his first show he'll be hooked
like a Hate Junky, and as much a slave to the un-stopable TTH
monster as the rest of us! He'll be trained up and kicking ass
in no time, and once again we'll see everyone at the next show!!!
On another note, Kevin Thomas and Andy Oliphant
are very excited to announce their endorsement by D'Andrea Music
Products, makers of Snarling
Dogs!
02.09.08 - Added Kevin Thomas pic to the "misc.

01.18.08 - The Thirteenth Hour @ 2008 Winter
NAMM
The Thirteenth Hour is having a blast this year
at the winter NAMM show in Anaheim, CA. If you don't know what
the hell a NAMM is, it's the biggest music trade show around,
with hundreds of companies displaying everything under the sun
musical instrument related. Brendan is an artist with Rockett
Drum Works, and is attending the whole show. RDW was kind enough
to get Andy & Kevin in as well, so Andy tore the place up
today, Friday, and Kev will be making an appearance on Sunday.
If you are going to the show, stop by the Rockett Drum Works
booth, #2360, and say what's up to Brendan and the RDW crew.
On another exciting NAMM note, Brendan has unveiled
his brand new custom Rockett Drum Works kit! There isn't enough
room for the whole thing, but pieces of it are on display at
the RDW booth, and you can see it and other NAMM happenings
right here at tth.com in the Miscellaneous Pics section (or
click here).
01.03.08 - New Years Eve pics & more
Attention Freaks: Happy fucking new year! Now
that we've recovered from our hangovers, check out the miscellaneous
pics section to see a couple snap shots of us tearing it
up with some good friends!
Hopefully we will see some of you out at NAMM
this month in Anaheim, where we will be hanging out with out
existing gear companies and rustling up new ones as well!
By the way, we can't thank you enough for your
support and endless curiosity about everything TTH. Thanks you
all of you Freaks out there, we had 11,623 hits on this website
in December! Hell yes! Great job everyone, keep it up, and let
us know what you think!
As always, thanks for sticking around, and keep
an eye out for the latest news in 2008!
12.29.07 - 2007 wrap up
Hello, Freaks!
So, we're wrapping up 2007, I can't believe it's
another year gone. It's been an exciting one for The Thirteenth
Hour, with the release of our debut album "Echoes of Life"
online @ iTunes, Napster, Rhapsody, and Yahoo.
We haven't been able to see everyone up close
and personal as much as we would like, with an open bass player
spot, but thanks to our good friend Travis Squire, we were at
least able to play a very important show dedicated to Randy
Roberts, a great and severely-missed musician & close friend,
who we lost suddenly this November. Thank you for being there,
Trav, we truely appreciate your work in learning those songs
in two weeks, and letting it all out on stage with us, as the
only tribute we know how to do, and the most meaningful for
us. For all of you out there who were not able to attend the
show, those tracks are up at thethirteenthhour.com.
2007 saw Drummer Brendan Leeigh joining forces
with the Rockett Drum Works team as an endorsed artist, to compliment
his existing deal with Vater drumsticks. We're all very excited
to have this going for us, and equally as excited to see his
new kit that is being worked on as we speak. Yes, we are true
gear whores.
Speaking of gear, this year also marked the official
turn to Carvin Guitars by Lead Guitarist Andy Oliphant, joining
Rhythm Guitarist / Vocalist Kevin Thomas, who had alreay made
that decision. Both now rock fully custom DC727, 7 string guitars.
Thomas & Oliphant also exclusively use Line 6 amplification.
We look forward to seeing all of our respective
gear companies this January, at the 2008 Winter NAMM show in
Anaheim, courtesy of Rikki Rockett & Rockett Drum Works.
2008 should be an active one for us, which we
are eager to meet head on!
Pass around the word that a permanent bass player
is needed, but we are considering just going forward with a
temp to continue doing what we do best, and that's rocking the
fuck out of every stage we step foot on.
With some much needed rehersal after the holidays,
we will be up and running in the live respect once again. Expect
to see us out and about in Hollywood starting in January, not
only playing shows, but just hanging out and being with our
friends and fans. If you are in the area, stop by Howl at the
Moon on Citywalk, you just might see us there most weeks!
So as 2007 winds to an end, here is a huge "THANK
YOU!" to everyone who has supported us, come to see us
live, and downloaded the album. This ride is just getting started!
Much love,
The Thirteenth Hour
12.24.07 - Randy Roberts memorial show audio
We had a short 20 minute set for the memorial
show on 12.08.07. After almost a year being away from the stage,
and only 2 weeks to prepare for the show... well it ain't perfect,
it's metal, and we're proud as hell to have had the opportunity
to play that show and share it with the world now. Check it

12.18.07 - Randy Roberts memorial show pictures
Check out the live pics section for 14 new shots
of us at the memorial show for our friend Randy Roberts, from
12.08.07
Many thanks to our buddy Travis Squire for filling
in on bass, which allowed us to play this very important show!
11.19.07 - Goodbye to a dear friend, Randy
Roberts
The news of Randy's death hit everyone unexpectedly
yesterday afternoon, and we are all dealing with it in our own
ways. On behalf of The Thirteenth Hour, I wanted to take a moment
to say how much we will all miss him. He was a great and close
friend to us all, and he unendingly supported us from the very
beginning, hell, before the beginning. His friendship and kind
words to what had to be my painfully bad playing to such an
accomplished musician when I first started learning my instrument,
will never be forgotten. His excitement when we finally hit
our stride with the realization of TTH and our subsequent first
shows, was an inspiration all in it's self. He was so much a
part of us all, and we were looking forward to making him a
larger part in this band, taking him with us when we get on
the road as our tech. But for now, please take the time to reflect
on the happiness of what was, instead of the pain of what will
never be. As the most optimistic and openly happy person I've
ever met in my life, I know Randy would have wanted that.
Randy, we love you.
-Andy

04.24.07 - Artist endorsment

This is just a small taste of things that are
coming up for this band, keep an eye on us here or on MySpace.com/thethirteenthhour,
other news is soon to follow!
04.14.07 - Back in action... again!
Seems like around every corner lies the next obstacle
for TTH. We've been dealing with neighbors calling the fuzz
on us for the last year or so, and we had to switch to low-volume
practices just to keep our chops up enough for shows. Brendan
would bust out his electric kit, and all the guitars would stay
at talking volume... it kept our chops up, but lost all the
fun. It turned rehersal into work, just having to show up to
go through the motions. We decided this had to change. We needed
Brendan on real drums. We needed to hear The Thirteenth Hour
how we were meant to be heard if we were ever going to get the
fire back, get truely stage polished again, and write some new
material for the next record.
After a 3 month break, our new rehersal space
is finally ready. Equipped with a full in-ear monitor set up,
we can get it on at whatever volumes we feel like, whenever
we feel like, and all the neighbors will ever hear is the drums
(which is not a problem with them, thank fucking god). So onward
we plow, into this year preparing to light the fire under the
ass of metal that we have been talking about for so long now.
New instruments are on the way, new audio and
video is on the way, T-shirts and other merchandise is on the
way. Brendan is finalizing his new drum deal as I type, and
we will be announcing that in the VERY near future right here
on TTH.com. Our long-time friend Cliff, who has worked with
Creed and Evanescence, has agreed to help us out with promotion
and show booking. We will be hitting Hollywood with everything
we have, along with Napster, iTunes, You Tube, and MySpace.
Look out.
12.25.06 - New Year, next show!
Merry Christmas, yule, time to drink, whatever
the hell it is you celebrate, to all the Freaks! Our first show
of the new year is coming up, Saturday January 6th @ Schooners.
This might be the last show we play there for a little while,
we're going to concentrate on other areas for once, so don't
miss this one. Plus, we'll be doing a song with James Kottak
from the Scorpions!

to hand out for free!
08.09.06 Thanks, Freaks!
As always, everyone who comes to our shows makes
it so worth it all. You guys screaming along with us and giving
back the energy you get is what makes a TTH show more than it
would be otherwise. Here's a gigantic HELL YEAH to our boys
in Shroud (no pun intended really), you guys are always a blast
to come out and party with. Forgive us for not being active
members of your crowd, when you're as out of shape as we are
you gotta save it all for the show!
Stay tuned for more show dates, and a huge picture
update from this show as well as more from the last show.

between shows crap anymore. And a huge thanks to Shroud
for kicking some ass with us!
The site is done, by the way, so everything works

04.04.05
Due to circumstances beyond our control, the
show at Mr. Ques on 04.08.05 has been canceled. Sorry for
any inconvenience. We're working on more shows right now, as
always, you'll hear it first right here.
Also, I know everyone wants to know what the hell
is going on with the record, given that it's already April and
no word yet. Unfortunately there's not much we can tell you
right now. Top secret, need-to-know-basis and all that... Although
we can say that Echoes of Life is 100% done and in our hands,
artwork and everything, just waiting to be pressed... but we're
taking some time, delaying the release... read into that what
you will, we can say no more...
03.07.05
Lots of stuff going on in the world of TTH recently...
First of all we're very happy to debut the title track of
our upcoming album "Echoes of Life" right
here on tth.com! Download this, crank it on your system
and let us know what you think.
We also have a show coming up that should be very
cool. It's at Mr. Ques in Lancaster on 04.08.05 at 8:45pm.
We'll be playing with some killer bands including Prod and Warhead,
so be sure to check that out. Warmup for the record release
show!
Finally we'd like to announce that The Thirteenth
Hour is now proudly using Line 6 amps! Mike is rocking the
Bass PODxt Pro, and Andy and Kev are both using the PODxt Pro.
We're very excited about the tones we're getting, and can't
wait to get them out on the stage to show off.
12.17.04
Finally! The record is mastered! We have a few
edits to do still, but we've now heard the final recorded version
of most of our songs. In a drunken bout of celebration, we managed
to burn some copies, and we proudly bring you VICIOUS!
The title track "Echoes of Life" will
be up soon, right here on thethirteenthhour.com!
You know what this means, we're well on track
for an early 2005 true release of our debut album! See
you at the release party!!!
12.06.04
We've created a new page on MySpace.com for you
all to keep in touch with us. Check it out at myspace.com/thethirteenthhour.
Join our friends list and help us create a new community there!
We will keep everyone updated on shows there as well as our
normal mailing list, and Andy will be keeping a running blog
on band news, which is linked to from there. Let us know what
you think!
11.07.04 - Another show update!
Oh yeah, regardless of how much physical shit
we put ourselves through on stage, we can never seem to wait
to do it again! The next victims will be everyone in
the crowd at Schooners in Lancaster on Sunday 11.14.04. The
show starts early, but we hit the stage at 10:30pm. I know you've
all heard the commercials on 100.1
The Edge about the Block
Shop's "Rock to Block" competition on Sundays
at Schooners. Here's the deal - We'll be playing along with
our good friends in the AV's
funk-ing-est band, whatever they happen to be calling themselves
at the moment. We're not part of the competition though, this
is a show of it's own right after the battle of the bands. We
played the last Block Shop fling, we're not in the fight for
a slot in the next one although we still may be there! Once
again - FREE DEMO CD's!
As usual, email
us if you need any more info on the show, or are interested
in helping out with the Street Team. We're having guestbook
issues, so aparently that's not an option, but you can always
come up to us at the show and let us know what you think...
about anything! (Except that situation
with the herd of albino buffalo, the judge said we're not allowed
to talk about that...)
10.11.04 - Halloween Show Update!
After we got off stage on the 8th, the promoter
(Heart
Attack Promotions) invited us to play the Halloween show
at El Dorado in Lancaster on 10.29.04 (the Friday before Halloween),
which was already packed full of bands. Time slots are not finalized
yet, but we managed to snag a slot somewhere around 9 or 10pm.
The show starts at 7pm, and cover is $7 at the door. There are
supposed to be 11 bands playing, so this is well worth your
money. As usual, we'll be giving out FREE demo CDs after our
set, and we'll bring more than we did last show so there will
be plenty to go around. Email
us with band costume suggestions! Think of themes that require
four people! Anything but KISS!
10.10.04 - Thanks again everyone for coming
out to see us Friday! A bunch of pictures from that show are
up in the live pics secion (thanks to Patricia for taking some
long over-due pics!).
We have another show booked already (actually
it was booked immediately after our show on Friday), and we'll
fill you guys in as soon as we get the set time confirmed. Get
ready to break out the scary shit and show yourselves for the
'Freaks' you (and we) are!
10.09.04 - Everyone, thanks for coming
out to see us last night! We had a blast, and got some cool
pictures that I'll put on the site tomorrow. You guys are awesome!
10.04.04 - Show Update!
Sorry for the short notice! We'll be thrashing
the El Dorado stage once again this Friday, October 8th. Doors
open at 7pm and TTH hits the stage at 10pm (slightly better
slot than last time). The cover is 7 bucks at the door, and
if you don't know where the place is at already the address
is 44275 Division Street, Lancaster CA. We'll have 2 or 3 song
demos at the show for FREE so come check that out... and I promise
I'll wear a shirt this time. Really.
Also, take notice of the new email address (yes,
again). Good ol' Mikey switched providers so the sbcglobal.net
address is dead 'n gone. It's now thethirteenthhour@adelphia.net
08.23.04 - Show Update!
What's up Freaks, I told you we'd be setting up
some shows soon! This Saturday (08.28.04) we'll make a return
to El Dorado in Lancaster with 6 other AV metal bands (including
our bros from Scission and Prod). Doors open at 7pm and we hit
the stage at midnight (if that ain't a metal start
time I don't know what is!). We haven't quite had a chance to
get the demo CDs put together yet, but you'll be seeing those
soon. Until then, check out "When the Freaks Come to Feed"
in our multimedia section if you haven't already, and keep telling
everyone you know about this website and that song!
08.04.04
Freaks, the time is almost here! Last Saturday
we received a test copy of the upcoming 'Echoes of Life' album
to note any changes that have to be made for the final mix.
It's sounding amazing, and it's great having an engineer who
has such a similar vision for our music as we do, that he can
get it this close to perfect without our input. Select few people
have heard previews of a song or two off the album, and you
can see one of our long-time fan's comments about it in the
guestbook.
Most likely 'Collapse' will be the next song to
hit the website, so keep an ear out for that in the next couple
weeks. Those of you on the mailing list, your inbox will shortly
be getting emails from us again. We're going to be booking shows
to get out there in your faces much more often than in the past,
and we'll have 3 song demos of the record available at the shows
as well.
Those of you not on the mailing list... Get on
it!
06.04.04
Freaks, the last two shows went great, and we
thank you all for being the amazing people that you are and
coming out and having a good fucking time with us. We'll let
you know ASAP as soon as we can announce more shows, and you
know you'll hear it here first... well, here and from our mailing
list... which is at the bottom of the page... Sign
it...
As always, check out Brendan's latest rant, it
was just updated and is full of very serious factual TTH events
and commentary/history. And keep downloading 'Freaks' and spreading
it around. All you metal fans still in school have the perfect
opportunity to be spreading this shit like wildfire, get it
out there!
That contest is still on, by the way... something
about 'XIII' and back hair... figure it out...
05.09.04 - New show dates!
We have two shows coming up at the end of this
month... 05.22.04 we are playing at the Block
Jam 2, an X-Games style all-day-long event, with pro BMX
riders on a full street course and 12 live bands. The Thirteenth
Hour hits the stage last at 9:00pm. Address is 42217 12th St
West in Lancaster, CA (check out the link above for more info).
This is a free show!
On 05.30.04 (the day before Memorial Day) we return
to the Schooner's stage to raise some hell. We've put together
a killer show consisting of 4 bands: Goodfella, Scission, TTH,
and 60 Cycle Hum. The show starts at 6:00pm, tickets are $10
at the door and discount tickets are available from the band.
This show will be our first 'real' show in a while, being indoors
with full lights and sound, so we're excited as hell. We hope
you can all make it out to see what promises to be a furious
night of loud music!
As always - keep downloading 'When the Freaks
Come to Feed' (under the multimedia tab), and keep sharing it
with your computerless friends or those who are too damn lazy
to get it themselves! Burn the bitch onto CDR's and get it out
there, we're not Metallica, we won't sue you!
03.01.04 - You can hear When the Freaks
Come to Feed on rotation at http://www.thunderradio.net
on Sundays from 11pm to 3am CST and Monday nights from 1am to
3am CST. Be sure to tune in towards the beginning of the show!
02.28.04 - When the Freaks Come to Feed!
Check out our audio section (under the Multimedia
tab), we've posted the first single off our our upcoming album
'Echoes of Life.' Again, we can't thank John Blanchard and Gary
StClair enough for their efforts on our behalf. Much love, and
thank you for kicking this thing out thus far! Stay tuned to
this site, because this is just the beginning.
PLUS... We have our first post-recording
show booked at Club DI (in the Desert Inn) in Lancaster, at
10:30pm on March 12th. We'll be playing all kinds of new shit,
so if you want an album preview, come hang out with us, get
crazy, and listen to some good fucking metal.
02.06.04 - New website... again!
Yes, we're never happy with 'good enough' so here's
version 13.864, or there abouts. This version of the site will
be easier to navigate and find every piece of info you need,
without having to wade through every page. It's all right here
on the front, including (obviously) the most up to date news,
and Brendan's now infamous Rants column. We have some audio
up and running again, and we will have live video clips soon,
as well as that T-shirt we promised. So check out the links
at the top, and take a look at all the stuff you could never
find before.
Above all, enjoy the new site!

thanks to Scott from 665.org!) and now the only section of our
site left with ads is the guestbook. We will be unveiling a

of our debut album, tentatively titled 'Echoes of Life') with

01.27.03 - Added a new section to the pictures site so everyone

site. It will be a weekly thing so check back often. Click the

10.06.02 - Finally found time to put up our bio and pictures
after spending the past couple of months rehearsing and competing
in a local Battle of The Bands. When the smoke cleared we wound
up in second place behind 60 Cycle Hum, leaving 58 other bands
in the rubble along the way. Now that the Battle of The Bands
is behind us we are setting our sights on the studio to write
and record some brand new, kick ass material. Only one small
detour along the way: A halloween show on 10.25.02 at Club L'Rue
in Lancaster, CA... can you say GLAM? This is a no cover show,
and your one chance to see The Thirteenth Hour in makeup. If
you need directions or more info feel free to contact us...

The Thirteenth Hour lasts forever...
