December 28, 2011 It's been a little while since we've updated the site. The Type is on a brief hiatus at the moment, as Aly has welcomed Roger into the world! He's a really awesome baby and already has The Type merch to sport. Head to the Merch button above to get yours! The CD release went great! We've also had some recent local coverage in Emmie Magazine and The Isthmus. We made it to the semi-finals for Band to Band Combat, and made the list of the top ten Madison bands you've never heard of on Dane 101. Pretty awesome! The upcoming year should bring some great The Type hijinks. We will be recording for the Local Love Fest CD, hopefully playing more shows outside of Madison, and continuing to rock yer socks off. We hope to see you out at the shows! _______________________________________________ September 16, 2011 There is a light at the end of the tunnel! The new album, "Sirens and Storms", will be released on September 30, 2011 on Stupid Baby Records! The CD turned out great and we can't wait to share it with you. You'll be able to get it for the first time at our CD release party at The Inferno. Show starts at 9:30 with newcomers FemmeFatal from Middleton, Wi. These gals rock! Next, Resist Her Transistor from Milwaukee will blow you away with some great punk. We will take the stage third, playing some of our old favorites followed by the new album played from front to back. Wrapping up the night is The Dumb Downs. This band is ridiculously fun punk and features Bill Maynard from Paradyme Studios who helped make this album spectacular. We hope to see you all there! You can also catch us tonight at The Frequeny for the CD release for our friends Tiny Riots. We're first at 9:30, but you'll want to stick around for this awesome band.April 27, 2011 We just finished a great weekend at Paradyme Studios in Madison recording our new album! In just two days, we recorded all tracks for the album. Huge thanks to engineer Bill Maynard for making everything sound amazing!

As you are probably aware, Madison is a political hotbed at the moment. The Type is very affected by the Budget Repair Bill being proposed by Gov. Walker. To do our part, we are playing two shows in the upcoming weeks to benefit the recall of the 8 Republican senators. On Friday, March 11, we will play at the Orpheum Stage Door with a number of other bands for a fundraiser for the WisDEMs recall efforts. We also have organized a show on Monday, March 21 with a bunch of other bands to fight for the cause as well. See our Facebook page for more info and links to the events. Solidarity! Also, we are going to be heading into the studio next month to record our next full length album at Paradyme studios. Be on the lookout for details of our CD release soon. _______________________________________________ November 22/2010 Saturday, December 11th at 7pm LIVE via UStream (rebroadcast on WYOU TBD) The Type performs live on Just Say Ho!

We have a new button at the top of the page for merch. You can order tshirts, buttons, stickers, CDs, and magnets. If you want a tshirt, let us know the size you want and we'll let you know your color options. We have a few shows on the calendar coming up. We'll be playing an early show at The Frequency on September 18 with The Vows. All of you that can't stay up past midnight can now come see us! Check out the Shows page for a couple others. These might be your last chance to see us for a little while, as we're getting ready to record over the winter. Be on the lookout for a new album this spring with a possible tour for the release. _______________________________________________ August 1, 2010 We just played two great shows at the Inferno. Our last show was with a great new band from Madison called Venus in Furs. See them play with The Type on October 15 for Women Rock for the Cure at the Inferno.

We have played a few shows and debuted a couple songs that really show our new style. Go to our MySpace via the links page to hear a very lo-fi basement recording of “Golfballs” we recorded in our basement practice space. Look out for more demo versions to come soon and a new album next year. We have some great shows coming up. July 23 we will play at The Inferno for an art event titled COCK. It is an exhibit of nude male artwork. It should be a great time. We are also getting closer to our Weekend Warrior tour with Hey, Alright! and the Maybenauts, which will include The Type’s Milwaukee and Chicago debuts.. We look forward to properly rocking your socks off. Keep an eye out for an upcoming radio interview and live set on WSUM in Madison. Details coming soon.
