I suppose all of you internet folks are entitled to an update from your favorite lower/mid level indie/post-punk band.  Fine, no need to twist my arm.  Where to start...

We've had a whirlwind couple of months.  SXSW was absolutely outrageous as predicted.  I promise we'll post more pictures sooner or later once I get my film processed.  When we returned things went into hyperdrive.  Mike had a baby (his name is Wyatt, he's pretty cool) and we decided it was a good idea to play 4 shows the month after he was born.  That was cool though because we got to play with some super great bands (including opening for Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin as well as Headlights and The Love Language).

Now we are gearing up for the fantastic process of releasing our first full length record.  Yes you heard it correct, it is official, we will be recording a new album starting in exactly two weeks.  We're excited to be working with Mr. Adam Tucker (of Nobot fame) over at Signaturetone Recording (http://www.signaturetonerecording.com/).  We've been playing the new material live for the last month or so, so if you like what you've been hearing then you're in luck.  We're really proud of the direction our new tunes have taken and are really excited to get them recorded.

The record is going to be called Guantanamo Beach Party.  It's not as political as it sounds.

As for live shows we are taking a few months off to properly record and handle some of the business of putting out a new record.  We are playing Pictures of Then's CD release show at The Uptown Bar on July 10th, and that will be mighty kickass if you ask me.  They've been great friends of ours for quite some time and they're a blast to hang out and play with, so you'd better come.

We'll also be playing at this new spot on Lyndale and Lake called Sauce.  That's at the end of July.

Last but not least, we'll be doing a kickass CD release blowout type shindig at the end of August roughly, but we'll let you know when that is set in stone.

That's all for today.  I just finished my last term paper and am officially done with college.  Nick should be wrapping up his last couple credits any day now.  I guess we're all real people now.

Take care,

Mattbot
