Well, first, here's the video:

And second, in case you didn't click on that already and notice immediately what the announcement must be:
We changed our name. To THE ALPHABET!
There
were a few reasons, not least of which is that people had a hard time
remembering Pretty Balanced, or remembering it correctly, and it is a
great benefit as a band if people don't have to write it down and will
still remember it when they get home five hours later.
Here
are some details about the switch: Icicle Bicycle and Conical Monocle
will remain under the name Pretty Balanced. We'll keep this MySpace,
just for them and for those who prefer them, and people can friend us
and we'll allow comments and stuff, just like now. But we will no
longer perform under the name Pretty Balanced and all new material will
be released as The Alphabet.
On
May 1st, when we release Scarlet Starlet, we'll also unveil a new
Alphabet website and MySpace and other sorts of neat Internetty stuff. We also recently had a sweet photo shoot so, new press photos!
And a videotaped live performance-..-the
last performance under the old name--we played almost the whole of the
show as Pretty Balanced and then the last song as The Alphabet, so
that'll come along with us after the switch.
Details about songs: we haven't played most of the songs from Free Public Consumption-..-or
even Icicle Bicycle--in a long time anyway, but there are several
staples which we don't plan on retiring, at least for a very long time.
"My Mind Is a Box" for instance, we will never stop playing; in fact,
we recorded FOUR new versions of it for the EP so it ain't going
nowhere. However we have made lots of changes to the songs we still
play, and as always are building our repertoire.
Well
anyway, if you wanna chat about it, you can leave a comment, or email
us at info @ prettybalanced . com, or whatever you feel like;
expressions of relief, disappointment,.. even hate mail are joyfully encouraged. Because you listen to us, so we like you, a lot.
Much love,
-The Alphabet-
