I guess when you tour as constantly as Black Cobra, even the most trivial of actions become potential shows. What’s next, guys? Gonna do an in-store at Ralph’s when you go to pick up a half-gallon of milk?

[Note: Black Cobra only buy half-gallons of milk because they’re never off the road long enough to drink a full one.]

Metal’s true road dogs offer this update via the PR wire:

In celebration of the vinyl release of their latest album, Chronomega, gruesome twosome Black Cobra will punish several California record stores with several in-store performances early this February. This is not only a great opportunity to get the mammoth new album on wax, but also to see the band for free in an intimate yet primal setting, for free!

2/05/2010 Amoeba Records – San Francisco, CA @ 6pm
2/09/2010 r5 records – Sacramento, CA @ 6pm
2/10/2010 Street Light Records – San Jose, CA @ 4pm
2/11/2010 Street Light Records – Santa Cruz, CA @ 4pm
2/13/2010 Thirsty Moon – San Diego, CA @ 6pm
2/14/2010 Vacation – Los Angeles, CA @ 5pm

The vinyl release of Chronomega will also include the band’s cover of Buzzov*en‘s “Behaved,” previously only available on the Japanese release of the CD, via Daymare Records. It will be pressed on 180-gram wax, the first pressing forged in several limited color schemes (800 red/yellow splatter, 500 black, 200 red/black swirl). Chronomega is Black Cobra‘s Southern Lord Recordings debut.
