01_25_08 WINTER TOUR 2008 IS ON!
Stop over to the shows page to check out our extensive winter tour that’ll take us on a wild meandering loop through most of the lower 48 and parts of Canada! We’re going to hit up some SXSW dates as well!
01_10_08 Happy New Year! Love-fest to Ensue.
Happy New Year Everybody! Pardon our long absence from the news world. We’ve had a great end to what was a great year! 2007 saw a lot of firsts for us. We sold out the Mercury Lounge for the first time (then proceeded to do it repeatedly afterward). We went on tour for the first time (sure, it was only 10 days… but we did a lot of driving!). We also released our first music video (In which we got slimed by Mark Summers… another first!). So all in all, 2007 sits high on our list. 2008 has some tough competition.
11_13_07 Taking the Law into Our Own Hands
Holy crap, it’s been two months since we last posted! Okay, a lot has happened. We’ve been on the cover of the Deli Magazine here in New York.
We’ve enlisted the help of Richard Grabel, lawyer to Sonic Youth, Interpol, Franz Ferdinand, Modest Mouse, Tokyo Police Club and many more. So, that’s a feather in our cap. We call it Macaroni, bitches.
09_15_07 Bowery & Flickr Us!
We’re playing a show in Philly this Wednesday! Got signed on last minute. We’ll get you more details in the shows section and on the myspace when we’ve got it consolidated. Anywho, The Bowery show was amazing! We had so much fun and hope you did too.
08_27_07 Georgia and Back!
There we were, in Duncan, South Carolina, waiting patiently for word on our van: the Compliment. We managed to push her off the highway to safety after she stalled in the middle of the fast lane. Over a ton and a half, but you wouldn’t have known it the way she glided into the shell station at the bottom of the hill (where Russ was subsequently stung by a bee).
08_22_07 TT the Bear’s Place
Thanks to everyone who came out to our Boston show. TT the Bear’s Place was a highly satisfactory experience for us.
We’re on the eve of a show back in Brooklyn at one of our favorite Park Slope spots…Union Hall. The last time we played there we had the benefit of sharing the stage with the Couriers, whom we really enjoyed. Tomorrow night should be no different as we share the stage with two kickass bands: Dappled Cities and Via Audio. We’re super-jazzed.
It’s still not too late to buy tickets online. They may very well sell out at the door. Get ’em while they’re hot! CLICK HERE
07_31_07 Alphabet Rock
Oh. Hello there. If you came to the Mercury Lounge show this Friday. THANK YOU! If not…well, what’s to say really? Maybe next time?
July may be scooting out the door with a wild look in it’s eye, but the summer isn’t over yet. Take a peak at our shows page because in the next few weeks every city we play in will either start with an A or a B. Really though.
07_24_07 SPIN DOT COM
We’re SPIN DOT COM’s ARTIST OF THE DAY!
CHECK IT!
07_23_07 Insound Judgement
As of today, we’re one of the top 10 highest selling albums on INSOUND. We don’t know long that’ll last, but we’re soaking it up while it does.
Don’t forget: Friday at the Mercury Lounge we’ll be taking you to wanton, unbridled emotional peaks. The heavenly gates open at 9. We’ll take the stage at 10:30. C U THR.
07_12_07 Has the World Gone Crazy?
So, monday morning, July 9th, 12:00 AM we release our first music video to the unsuspecting world. To you, all our friends. We simply emailed the link to you. And you — being respectable, patriotic, well-groomed youths — passed it on to everyone you know. All your friends, in turn, passed it along as well. Four days later, we find ourselves flabbergasted by some of the places this video has turned up, as well as what everyone has had to say about it. God bless YouTube. God bless you. God bless America. But most importantly…God bless Marc Summers.
Last night we had the extreme pleasure of sharing the stage with Le Loup at DCists 6th Annual Unbuckled concert at DC9 in our nation’s capitol. We had a freakin’ rad time. Thanks to Amanda and DCist for inviting our asses down. The place sold out in nothing flat and the room was pizzacked (that’s “packed” to the layman).
Check out our press section and take a look at the large collection of really nice things people have mistakenly said about us in the past three days. Don’t worry bloggers, we know this is only a momentary lapse of judgement. We won’t hold it against you when you come to your senses. We’ll always have Paris.
