The "Don't Say Slow" 7" is going to be released in February from Amendment in VA Beach. It has been delayed until March or April.
We are now sold out of "Echodrone" and the "Without You" EP. There should be a sort of best of compilation being released on Alison Records in Germany soon which will have more of the old songs on them and some new ones.
We just got back from our Ontario tour with Alcian Blue and had a blast! Slept in a Wal Mart on the way up, smashed the neck off my bass in Toronto, last tour it was London, and played a cover of "You Made Me Realize" with tourmates Alcian Blue, two basses and four guitars, it was a wall of sound for sure. We played with some great bands Currently In These United States (a spazzed out funny version of pavement), Kid Sniper (XXX indie rockers), Sanseiru (Power rock and roll) who covered one of my all time favorites "My Little Underground", and Trebendle (Math Rock machines). At the Whippet Lounge we got told we were way too freaking loud and we should just play at a nice Motley Crew loud and then the hippies would love us??? Thanks Matt for hooking up the show at your house and Jonny D for being rad as can be.

The show with Vehemence Realized turned out to be a really cool, Greg from the Patsies was the sound guy and the Velvet Lounge has a new look. Vehemence Realized changed their name to just VR and they got a drummer so now they are even more intense and the songs hit home.
The Past shows have been going great! The show with Swiss Dot, Sonambulants, and Seat Team was really great although the Sonambulants cancelled (too bad) and the sound guy didn't show up it was a synth pop extravanganza. Seat Team and Swiss Dot's performances were great! I am now in love with them Swiss Dot girls!
The Arnold Records Skywave "Walk My Way" CD EP has been released in Poland. They are cheap, $5 in the US and Canada and $4 in Europe. To order the release email Darek the owner of Arnold Records.
The shows with Alcian Blue, The Emerald Down, and Highspire this past weekend were rad. They are all some amazing bands. Thank you all who made the shows a huge success.
