Hello all! Lots of news over here, panicking a bit to be honest but we're almost packed up and ready to fly out of here.

We just released a new 7" on Dead Oceans, just in time for the EU tour:
A. Too Much Time / B. Moon Rocks (unreleased)
Buy it from Dead Oceans here.

We'll have the 7" at shows this tour, as well as RTI vinyl copies of Romanian Names, Emerald City and the Mountain Goats split, Moon Colony Bloodbath.

We're rolling as a trio for Europe and we've added a few songs we haven't played before (The Minaret, Heated Pool and Bar).

The band is:
JV: Vocals, Guitars
Ian Bjornstad: Wurlitzer, Moog
Jason Slota: Drums, Moog

God what are we doing still on tour? HA! Well, at least it’s a good one, we’re opening for Malkmus and the Jicks. BTW, they couldn’t be a nicer crew and the shows couldn’t be better. It’s a day off. I’m watching Ms. Crawford on TCM and the rest of the Vanderslices are spread out in the Garfield Suites. We’re doing a bunch of headlining after the Malkmus dates, please check the shows page.
