Sick Sick Sicks

Hey

We're coming off a little bout with some sort of cold, don't worry I don't think it's swine flu...

The last couple of weeks have been jam packed with band activity. I mean non-stop. We were visited by the French band Novels, played a bunch of shows with them in CT and Brooklyn, and shared a split recording session with Scott Norton at Headgear Recording Studio. Our track is called 'Head Technician' and is being mastered by Joe LaPorta at the Lodge in NYC. Watch out that's coming soon!

Last saturday we played what will be our last NY show for a while at Brooklyn's DIY venue House of Yes. Thanks to Renminbi, Bits & Pisces, KC Quilty and Miniboone for playing! Pictures by LD of Bits and Pisces and video by Nikkie of Coceyea









Tomorrow morning we embark on another leetle tour. Excited to be playing at the Siena School! Followed by a benefit show for Invisible Children! With art by J.Coleman! Followed by a stop at the Cucalorus Film Festival! And on to Chapel Hill with Cracker Creeptacular! Wrapping up saturday at Backdoor Skatepark (always wanted to play at a skatepark!) in Greenville, NC.

After all that we're going to hunker down for a few months of intensive writing and recording. Lots of ideas in the works. Stay tuned...

Tour Press

Here's what North Carolina's Independent Weekly had to say about us:

Tour was a rocking good time

We had oh so much fun and met so many cool people... Thank you all for showing us such a good time! Can't wait to hit the road again...

Yesterday Today and Tomorrow

Well folks we've got good news and bad news.... but first the good news.

Tomorrow we embark on our summer tour. We are excited to be hitting the road and visiting our friend J. Coleman, who will be doing some live artwork at our shows, and also working on art for our next record.

Right, about that next record. We just finished listening to basic tracks for an EP we have tentatively titled "Auto Immune," and it sounds pretty good if I may say so myself. Soon enough you can all judge for yourselves!

All this is great, but unfortunately there is a dark shadow dampening our spirits. Yesterday, our friend Brooklyn P. Kittyman departed this world for the great hereafter :( He was suffering from a terrible disease called Feline Infectious Peritonitis (FIP) and although he fought it for longer than any would have expected, his struggle is now at a peaceful end. We are heartbroken and will miss you forever Brooklyn. R.I.P.

Sleepwalk

Sleepwalk by Santo & Johnny is one of our all time favorite songs. It's been covered many times by bands like the Shadows, the Ventures, and now you can listen to (or download) our cracked out version here: Sleepwalk

Here is a sweet video of the original performed by Santo & Johnny:
