just got home from a few shows with our good friends NEEDTOBREATHE from seneca, south carolina...had a blast with those guys. they're out promting their new record called 'the heat'--really great rocknroll record--listen to a little at: myspace.com/needtobreathe

it's really good to be back out playing in some good old dirty clubs. don't get me wrong, i am all about a nice PA system and a plush green room...but there's something uniquely charming about a smoky bar with sticky floors and beer residue on the walls. charleston, orlando, and atlanta all had that particular vibe this weekend and i was eating it up. when you're surrounded with people you love and playing with bands you like, the insane amounts of driving and sleep deprivation seem to matter a lot less. thanks to all of you who came out and supported the team. good crowds all around. hope to see some of you at the shows this weekend...
