in october we played a string of dates in the northeast with our pals the republic tigers. one afternoon, ragged and a bit weary, we had the chance to stop by the studio at breakthruradio in new york city-- one of our very favorite places in the world to find parking. we did a quick live session and talked about a few adventures of our senselessness whilst touring the country for your (and our) enjoyment. stop by and check it out here at breakthruradio.com

Hello Friends,

Recently we recorded a Daytrotter Session in Rock Island, IL.  Featured are three new songs that will be heard on our next release, due out later this year.  Hope you enjoy!

Very Best,

A copy of a poem Thax wrote for us at the Beat Kitchen.

Yourself and The Air #2

Stunned
by the staticky sunburst
brilliance of
a crumpled up
handkerchief
of used tinfoil,
your eyes
leap-stutter
across it like
fleas living
comfortably on the
sun.  By the
time you've made
yourself at
home in its crevices
you realize
it's your mind
you've been
holding in
your hand.

Dear Friends,

Hope all is well!

We are glad to announce that we will be Touring this July with Thing One, and Pomegranates. This will be our first tour as part of the Flowerbooking Family and we are very excited.  Check our page to see the upcoming dates as they fill in.

Also we stopped by Rock Island, IL last week to record our very first Daytrotter Session.  If you don't know what Daytrotter is, go check them out at www.daytrotter.com .  We recorded three new songs that will be posted in the near future!

Keep in touch, and stay tuned for a new disc this fall!

Until next time,
Love YATA.

Pretty cool stuff. Our faces are currently pasted right on Noise Pop's home page. Here and uh.. here.

Right on. We're working furiously on the new EP, and taking our sweet time about it as you've probably noticed by now. But you know.. it's about making the music sound the best we can, and we're doing nothing less than that on this record. Hang tight, we are sure you're going to dig the new stuff.
