Greetings,

It pleased us all to see your faces at the Laughing Prairie Dog Festival. If you weren't there, or if you wish to induce flashbacks to that night, watch this video from the217:

Laughing Prairie Dog Video

The discerning ear will be able to pick up snippets of some of the new songs we've been working on for the upcoming record, which is almost finished. Exciting!

See y'all in Chicago on the 21st.

Hey Y'all,

We've got a new song up, so be sure to have an ear-feast or two. If you like it, then we will go all loopy.

Much love,

Santa

Hey all you psychedelic sun childern,

The show at Canopy pumped us for our recording session this weekend.

 We are embarking on art of multiple varieties for this session and getting into the DIY scene.

Here's one of the songs from the show that we are recording, Laundry Days.

Hey Y'all,

Last week, Stan and Tommy dropped into the WPGU studio to chat. Stan played a couple songs, too. One of them is completely original and can be found HERE:

The other is a completely unoriginal cover of The Cure's "Close To Me":

Also, be sure to read Brian "Brain" McGovern's cartoon review of our show last Thursday.

Stay groovy you peapod omnivores you,

P.S. The internet sucks.

Hi guys and gals!

Santa was recently interviewed by SmilePolitely.com because they think we're cool or something. Click here to see the interview; it gets pretty saucy, so be warned.

Also, you might notice we have a new myspace! Enjoy the background, NEW SONGS, and T-shirt proofs. You can see our beautiful new T-shirts designed by Matthew Harlan, and even order them.

Dig it,
Santa

Hi lovers-

Santa will be at the Cowboy Monkey in Champaign tomorrow (8/21) for FREE! Come around 10 PM.

Santa
