DC TONIGHT!!

I'm still foolishly unable to update our 'shows' page on here so this is just a quick message for any passers-by that we're playing in Washington DC tonight at The Rock'n'Roll Hotel.

Doors at 8, show starts at 9:30. We're on first followed by Casper Bangs and The Vita Ruins. This is The Vita Ruins first show in something like 18months so we're all pretty excited to see what they pull out of their hats.

Hope to see you this evening!

Kindest regards,
The JC

Single Out Today

Hello hello!

Our digital single for 'Where No Wild Things Are' is released this morning. Featuring the title track, 2 B-sides, and a video. One of the B-Sides is a reworking of the title track based around acoustic guitar and casio with a folksy/gospely/basementy vibe to it, and the other is a version of our old classic 'Who Says We're The Last' that came back from the songs-we-forget-how-to-play graveyard during our fall tour. It was recorded as part of a show we did for WREK at Georgia Tech in Atlanta.

It's available from Itunes or Amazon, and on Itunes you can also purchase the music video we whipped up for 'Where No Wild Things Are' if you're so inclined. Shot on film in the wilds of New Paltz NY, Robert Moses State Park, Boston's South End, and our secret headquarters in DUMBO. It's a doozy. A big "thank you" to everyone who helped us out on and off camera!!

Happy Kind Of New Years!!!



Happy New Year!
We've all (somehow) managed to survive the end of a decade in one piece! We've been working on new material for the last few weeks and it's starting to sound like Swedish bubble gum pop from the mid 90's. Kind of like the movie "the Worst Witch" if you've ever seen it. It sounds great to us. We are also ringing in the already 3 day old new year by drinking "domestic bliss" AKA Budwesiers.

We have a lot happening this month, which makes us feel pretty good about a new year. We're releasing a digital single of Where No Wild Things Are on the 19th backed with 2 exclusive B-sides and a beautiful 16mm video we shot this fall. One B-side is an acoustic guitar and casio fueled gospel/folk re-imagining of Where No Wild Things Are and the other is a live version of Who Says We're The Last we recorded for a radio station in Atlanta this fall. It's an old song of ours that we've started playing again, a little differently, and really enjoying so we thought it deserved a wider audience.

We're also playing some shows this month, assuming the van can get any traction in the snow. We've discovered it hates winter. Those dates are...

1/11 - Brooklyn NY - Union Hall w/ The Joy Formidable
1/22 - Philadelphia PA - The Khyber
1/27 - New York NY - Mercury Lounge w/ Bear In heaven and Oh No Ono
1/29 - Washington DC - Rock'N'Roll Hotel w/ The Vita Ruins

We wish you all a happy, exciting, and peaceful new year. See you soon!
