Dear Hollyweird,

Due to unforseen circumstances, we had to change venues at the last minute for our LA show.  We're no longer playing at The Viper Room in West Hollywood.

The new venue info is as follows:
BOOTLEG THEATER
2220 Beverly Blvd.
Los Angeles, CA 90057

We're playing at 9:00pm, so show up early and let's make you a star!

xo,
MDR

We still have a ton of shows left on our tour of the US with Aushua, so check out the page for deets and a bunch of tour pics!

Also, we have a day off in Chicago if anyone wants to come get some pizza wif us!

xoxo,
MDR

We just got signed!  We just signed!  We are signed!

Engine Room Recordings must be code for "smartest people in the record business", because after 4 years of doing EVERYTHING ourselves, they've finally decided that's too much for 5 handsome men to shoulder and have signed us to their label!

They're going to release our as yet unreleased new album, The Sun & Earth, on October 20!  And to celebrate, we're gonna tour the entire continental US:

08.04.09 - Vienna, VA - Jammin Java
08.06.09 - Allentown, PA - PPL Plaza
08.06.09 - Macungie, PA - The Pub On Main
08.08.09 - Jamestown, NY - Mojos
08.09.09 - Hamden, CT - The Space
08.11.09 - Brooklyn, NY - Union Hall
08.12.09 - Philadelphia, PA - The Blockley Pourhouse
08.13.09 - Pittsburgh, PA - Garfield Artworks
08.14.09 - Columbus, OH - Oldfields On High
08.15.09 - Youngstown, OH - Cedars Lounge
08.16.09 - Akron, OH - Musica
08.18.09 - Des Moines, IA - Vaudeville Mews
08.19.09 - Chicago, IL - Reggies Rock Club
08.20.09 - Urbana, IL - The Canopy Club
08.21.09 - Milwaukee, WI - Club Garibaldi
08.22.09 - Omaha, NE - Sokol Underground

08.24.09 - Salt Lake City, UT - Kilby Court
08.26.09 - San Francisco, CA - Hotel Utah
08.28.09 - Los Angeles, CA - The Viper Room

For five jetskis and a bag of money, I'd say they're getting their money's worth.

Love,

Billboard interviewed Steve recently about the new album, The Sun and Earth.  Read it here!  The article features an exclusive stream of an unreleased song from the album, called "The Fury".

Also, we're playing next Thursday at The State Theatre in Falls Church, VA with New Rock Church of Fire!  People of all faiths are welcome.  BUY PRESALE TICKETS HERE; SAVE A BABY JAGUAR.

I love you, baby.
