Yoz!

Had a GRATTT time with the Frightened RabBITS boyz on tour last month - tour recap and photos to cum!

BITS happens 8/5/08!
From the suits at Sub Pop: If you pre-order BITS by August 5th, you will receive a very limited, very special photograph that only you and the band will have (they got doubles made for their memory box) that was taken by the band on their recent tour! We'll also toss in some Oxford Collapse related stickers and a button. We're so sweet.

In the meantime, the vinyl-only HANN-BYRD EP and the REGGIE 7" and both available here. and here , respectively!

Tons more shows (our first in Western Canada!) with We Are Scientists and Love as Laughter over the next couple of months plus our very first ACOUSTIC SHOW (!) at Sound Fix Records in Williamsburg on August 17th!

Gotta be like John Ritter and STAY TUNED!

PAIX!
