Sweet, Thanks

This weekend we were faced with a dilemma: Which movie is better, Total Recall or Robocop? I think the answer's obvious. Thanks to our bros Sweet Talk for being with us all weekend, and helping us buy a new tire for Thrash Vandicoot, get him towed twice, and played to a grand total of 50 people, over 90% of which were at the Sunday show. More pics to come when Kris gets his shit together. These were our last shows until Thanksgiving weekend when we will be heading out to Rockford, Minneapolis and the Quad Cities for a few more laughs. Keep it in your pants until then, friend.

Summer's Over

Here's some footage from our May and August tours as well as part of Warren's July tour that I was on for a bit. This summer we finally got to see the pains of our labors years pay off as we went around the country, from Long Island, NY to Denver, CO, making new friends, meeting new people, and getting our minds blown. This time next year, we will have moved to Boulder, CO and turned into a Dave Matthews cover band.

A huge thanks to everyone who helped make our summer the best ever! Also thanks to the "cast" of this "video" for being there with us!

I can't remember if I posted this or not, but I don't think I did. So this prolific-as-hell blog Circling The Drain reviewed our album.

 These guys play a relaxed, and somewhat familiar sound that brings back good emo music like The Promise Ring and good indie music like Dinosaur Jr.

New Review of Mind Yr P's & Q's

A new review of our album has been posted at Bankrupt On Selling, a new blog by an old friend. Check out the full review here!

 The Please & Thank Yous play with such energy and such emotion that it's hard not to like them. Their sound is much more distinguished.

This Just In

bill o'reilly, how do you sleep at night? honestly, how are you still breathing? how are you still alive? anything you say has no validity. your biases come through crystal clear in HD. I couldn't even get through the introduction of your book--please stop pointing that thing at me. hey, words are cheap so let's go have a drink just you and me. we'll smoke some weed and you'll molest little kids and we'll call it even.
