Hello friends.

As you may have noticed, we have posted release show dates. As of this moment they are in Duluth, Minneapolis, and Sioux Falls. More cities will join the ranks as 2008 goes on. 2008 should be a big year for us across the board as we intend to continue to tour and see that our new material finds it's way onto college airwaves around and about. We also have a couple other surprises in the works for early 2008, we will keep you posted on all new and interesting projects and developments. Meanwhile, we hope to see you out at our shows, and that you enjoy the new album.

Fans of the Alrights, unite!

K bye

Love,


Toby/ The Alrights

I know the steaks aren't done. But I have to look, I have to go over to the grill and lift up the top. Even though I know the steaks aren't done. But the beast wants food. The beast doesn't care about "done" he doesn't want to hear that shit. The beast will be content to eat you if there are no steaks. He may eat you if there is. What about the dinner guests? You try to explain to them about the beast. You say, "well, there might not be steaks for anyone, the beast may want them all." "why did you invite us over here then?" they'll say. "I thought maybe he'd sleep through it, or, I don't know, it's nice to see people... chip?" "No, I think we'll go." they say. You tell them that this might be best, the beast may want the chips too. He may want to eat everyone. It's not so much that he "wants" to as much as he may "need" to. Or maybe that's not true. Regardless, it's the beast. He may eat you, that's just how it is right now.

Hi.

William James describes a man who whenever under the influence of laughing-gas, understood the secrets of the universe. But when he came to, he had forgotten it. At last, with immense effort, he wrote down the secret before the vision had faded. When completely recovered, he rushed to see what he had written. It was: "A smell of petroleum prevails throughout."


Love,

Toby

Hey there.

For those who are interested, we started recording recently. We're recording with Ben Durrant at Crazy Beast, his studio in MPLS. Ben recently finished up work on Andrew Bird's new album, which, is doing well, to say the least. What does this mean? I don't know, it means Ben is good at what he does, hopefully we are too.

It'll be an EP. Looking at October for a release, the idea being to begin a period of heavy touring shortly there after.

Right now, lets say we'll call the EP...

Meeting of the St. Lious County League of Volunteer Astronauts: Excerpts from the Keynote Address.

How does that sound?


songs on the EP will be...


"When I Get Born"

"All This Time"

"Love Love Love Love Love"

"Happy Birthday Universe"

"All I know is Rock n' Roll"

More news later.


Love,

Toby

Hello.

Soon, we will be rotating a couple of the songs off our myspace site. Only to be replaced by two other songs from High School. One fine fall day in September-ish, they will all be replaced, I think, by tunes available on our EP, set for release at that time.

Meanwhile, the idea of facing these same songs for another 6 months was just too depressing for words. Not that we'll be mixing it up very much, really. "In A Way" and "The Sickness" will be officially retired from myspace. I know these are two songs that tend to be some peoples favorites, and we are humbled by your affection for them. However, those among the inner-circle will not be too surprised, I think, that we chose to remove these two tunes.

PS. We will still be playing these two songs live.

Love

Toby

I told somebody the other day that, I don't compose music anymore, I compose emails.

It's not altogether true, but I'm sure the point is made. We've been working on lots of things, figuring out this and that. Time spent more on the business side of things, sometimes, slow going. We've been doing some good things but It seems like nothing much though, that has the teeth worth reporting on. But, after many fine emails, phone calls, candygrams, etc. there are some things worth sharing. So for those who are interested in our coming year, it looks like this. Hopefully...

Tour in May. Midwest. 10 days or so. Dates will be posted as they come to us. We're working with Pepper Entertainment out of Sioux Falls, SD. So we'll see how that goes.

We should be able to dial in an EP for release in the fall. We'll probably start recording pretty soon here, and finish up in the summer. The idea would be to have a tour in place in the fall and really push the EP. I imagine we would, if all goes well, plan a series of tours to finish out the year and on into the next.

We'll be keeping busy. Hope to see out there.

Best to all

Love

Toby
