Its an update, thats what it is. We made it home safe and sound from our trip to SXSW, but not without all the normal tour technical difficulties. Thats what makes touring a real adventure, right? All in all a great time, but it brings up a great question. When will we stop playing shows at teen centers and gravel pits? It makes for some great stories thats for sure, but what is it going to take? Someday we’ll grow up and be a real band, but its going to take more than the 5 of us. We work our asses off day in and day out to get our positive message across to the world, but sometimes its hard to get people to bite our bait.
That’s where YOU come in.
It’s time to rally the troops! Whether you’re a causal listener, a full time hater, a super-fan or somewhere inbetween, its going to take ALL your voices to make our little musical community something epic. Come to a show, (DON’T JUST SAY YOU WILL!) tell a friend, tell your dog, tell your grandma-ma. (we generally do pretty well with the 55+ group) Lets change this shitty musical landscape into something worth caring about (post-fad). Something honest. Something from the heart. No more cash crop, cookie cutter bullshit. The thing about the music industry that a lot of people dont realize (or think about, rather) is that without the people, there is no industry. The public determines what happens and who succeeds and who fails. As soon as those who see past the mind-numbing bullshit, take action and stop promoting it, thats when the change will begin. It can happen. It has happened before. There were people in the early 90’s who were fed up with spandex and hair spray (fast forward....sub spandex and hairspray for girl jeans and lack of musical skill), then started a cultural movement promoting honest, artistic and original music.
We are just 5 humans who enjoy playing music together and think we have something very special to offer. We can’t say THANK YOU enough to those who have come to a show, talked with us, shared your stories and/or a beer, or simply enjoyed yourself. Without you, we would be nowhere close to where we are right now.
YOU make this possible for us.
And in celebration of that, we’ve gone ahead and put up a new song, dedicated our loyal kaddisfly troops. It’s called "It Has to Be This Way," we’ll be playing it on our upcoming tour. Hope you like it.
see you soon...

ps. we’re not this grumpy all the time....i swear!
