Hey everyone, hope you're well and enjoying the summer. 

It's a scorcher here in NYC today, 94 and sunny.  Native New Yorkers complain about this type of weather, calling the heat mean things like "disgusting."  To me this type of weather is amazing.  In England we complain all year round about the rainy and gray weather.  Then summer comes along and we go on holiday to Spain and complain that it's too hot while shovelling a full-English breakfast into our mouths. 

Our NYC Blitz continued over the weekend with two acoustic shows. On Friday we were at our favorite acoustic venue in the city, Rockwood Music Hall, and on Saturday we were at the Roots Cafe in Brooklyn.  I'd like to offer up big thanks to all those who came to see us at the Bellhouse in Brooklyn last week.  All proceeds went to a very worthy cause, the Ronald McDonald House.  Personally, my favorite show of the Blitz thus far was the one at Arlene's Grocery.  There was just an incredible atmosphere in the venue that night.

In between our constant rehearsing, writing, recording and performing we took some time out to do some photos with our favorite photographer, the very talented Lana Theo.  We'll be posting them soon.

Tonight Coyle and I are going to watch District 9. I'm very excited as all the reviews I've read have been positive.  I'm wearing my Sci-fi outfit, which is a Star Wars tee and a pair of genes that are alien. 

Next stop on the YV bus is the Tribeca Grand on Saturday, August 29. It's going to be a wild, crazy, insane night. See you there.

Free, peace, sweet,
Jon
