ALBUM RELEASE SHOW!

We'll be throwing a big old fashioned album release show/party for ourselves on Saturday August 29th here in Brooklyn at Union Hall. Also on offer is a shockingly good lineup of some of our favorite bands and buddies - Coyote Eyes, Spanish Prisoners, and pow wow!

Pretty awesome. We'll be playing 2 more shows prior to the release, but this is the one we really can't wait for... probably because it means our album will finally be out!

Advanced tickets have just gone on sale and we're going to be giving away a special lyric&photo booklet to people who buy the album that night and who purchase their tickets in advance. You'll need the confirmation number/email you get from Ticketweb... so just print that out and bring it along to the merch table.

You can get your $8 tickets now through Ticket Web

See you soon!

The Album

Hello Hello

So today Jere and I went and dropped off the masters of our album for manufacturing. A year of our lives spent recording, and a year before that spent writing, all distilled into 44 minutes of music and a fancy cardboard package. It didn't seem like a big deal at the time, but now it's 5am and I just got home from work and i'm tired and it seems pretty important. The thing is completely out of our hands. I've always wanted to make an album. I'm the sort of person who still buys CDs and vinyl and listens to them from start to finish. I guess that makes me old fashioned and also sentimental, but that's fine. I consider recorded albums to be a very special, important, and beautiful things -especially when they're good- but until now have failed to create one myself. Every band I have ever been in has only made EPs or singles. Actually, that's not true, my band in High School made a full album that I recorded on a 4 track cassette recorder called "Mile 71 Saves Christmas" (Mile 71 being the name of the band.) But that doesn't really count, so i'm still going to consider this one a landmark..

Anyway, what i'm trying to say is ... our album is called 'And We Wake Up Slowly, it'll be released on September 1st, and i'm pretty fond of it.

Blood Pressure live

Thanks to our pal Derek for this live mp3 of the song Blood Pressure from a recent show. Not bad for the third attempt to play it live. The sound is pretty good considering I think he recorded it with a spy microphone hidden in an ice cube.
