LAST FRIDAY:  It was really nice to get back to Mac's bar.  And gosh, Calliope and LaSalle were great, weren't they?  We're trying to set something up with them June 20 at The Small Planet (East Lansing).  We're also going to play an acoustic set at The Record Lounge earlier that afternoon, so stay tuned for details!

LAST SATURDAY:  And how about Mickey Finn's in Toledo?  Three words:  THE HAT COMPANY.  Check them out if you haven't already.  It's like someone took a poodle skirt, sewed one end shut, and now uses it as a musical bag of tricks.  Listen to them and tell me I'm lying.  And by the way, it was really nice to see friends from across Ohio's Lake Erie shoreline.  Figure out that Superdrag thingy...pleeeaaaaaaase!

THIS WEEKEND:  We're back in Detroit with our Friends The Pop Project and Sh! at the Northern Lights Lounge.

Comrades,

It is with great excitement that we announce the return of friend and co-founding member, Kathleen Bracken.

"How did this all come about?" you may ask…

To answer simply: we arrived at the conclusion while recording instrumental tracks for our upcoming and yet-to-be-titled LP, that Kate's presence was being missed noticeably in both process (for us) and product (for you and us). In realizing this, we all talked it over for quite some time, and (hooray!) we have reached an agreement that any and all future Those Transatlantics music will include her artistic contribution via sweet, sweet voice and musicality-sation-ness-ocity.

Capital "A" Also, our close friends and musical allies Dan Louisell and Nate King have joined us to help finish the upcoming record and assemble a live performance that's sure to knock you socks off, so don't point your feet at us next time you come out to a show [bracketed as opposed to parenthesized: HA!]. We are sooooooooooooo excited to get out and play for you, debut the new material, and play some of the ol' standards we've all come to enjoy.

Speaking of ol' standards, we posted some of our favorite moments from the Self Titled and You're Seated in the Back EPs on the MySpace homepage…you know, the page you were just looking at. Additionally, we put some of the tracks from Knocked Out up so you could keep yourselves amused while we spruce up some preliminary takes of the new jams for your previewjoyment.

Because you have eyes, you probably already noticed that there are some new photographs up as well. Your eyes would never betray you; and as a result, we can confirm that these photos do, in fact, exist. In these photos (which were taken by this gal), you will notice that the current TTa line-up is comprised of five persons: Dan, Kate, Mike, Nate, and Trevor. Joe [Clark], our resident bassist and gifted-son, has been tracking his little [big] heart out with us in the studio.

Phew! Hopefully that all makes sense. Check back because things are really starting to roll along.

LOVE!!!

-Those Transatlantics
