Music Masters Camps has announced Camping With Animals, a winter retreat with ANIMALS AS LEADERS - Tosin Abasi, Javier Reyes and Matt Garstka, plus Evan Brewer, bassist from THE FACELESS - and other guests.

The four-day instructional camp, which takes place January 2nd - 6th, 2013, at Full Moon Resort in Big Indian, New York, will include workshops, one-on-one instruction, seminars, gourmet meals, performances and other camp activities. All you need to do is sign up and get yourself to Big Indian.

"As a musician, I’ve benefited the most from demonstration," says Abasi, Animals As Leaders' guitarist. "I hope to create an environment for other aspiring musicians to do the same. I and the other instructors involved will be at your disposal to provide an opportunity for growth and inspiration. I believe that this is truly a unique group of players with highly individual approaches to their instruments together in one place at one time."

Animals As Leaders recently announced their first-ever tour dates in Japan. These shows will be the beginning of an international tour supporting BETWEEN THE BURIED AND ME that will also see the bands travel through Australia and New Zealand together. In addition, AAL will headline the Rock Party Festival in Long Beach, CA on September 29th.

Animals As Leaders continue to tour in support of their 2011 release, Weightless, one of the five highest-charting releases in Prosthetic Records history.

Due to popular demand, Prosthetic recently repressed both Animals As Leaders albums on vinyl. Their 2009 self-titled debut - a double-LP featuring a gatefold Stoughton jacket with enhanced album artwork and 3-D imagery, custom AAL 3-D glasses and the bonus track 'Wave Of Babies' - is still available on clear, transparent gold and 180-gram black vinyl here, while Weightless - housed in a custom Stoughton jacket featuring the band’s die-cut circular logo - is now available on gray marble, white and 180-gram black wax here. All colors can be ordered at Prosthetic’s webshop, where more information (including pressing details) can be found; the black vinyl variants are also now on sale once again at select retailers worldwide.
