Dear myspace,
OK, it's time for another US tour for XDS - exciting!
We packed the van with ramen, built a loft bed & Shoko downsized her kick drum to a 1/2 size - cute.
Please tell your friends, neighbors, aunts, uncles & anyone else you can think of...
we are looking forward to seeing you all!
See all dates below.
We are bringing along our great friends from Portland, Mattress for the first part of our tour.
Mattress burns up the analog tape machine w/ mashed up synths & a beautiful owl playing heavy metal drums.
Sounds like: Screamin Jay Hawkins + Suicide + Quintron
Also we will be joined in the south by El Easo Hot Button for the later part of the tour.
EPHB is a one man hurricane guitar rock show like a runaway train.
Sound like: Bob Log + Coachwhips + raw & noisy.
We have a new t-shirt design for the tour:
We will also be premiering our first music video in a few days!
Our friend, Jeff Guay made it and we think it's fun!
Please check our website for details soon.
Here are the photos from the video shoot:
Speaking of video, we were featured in the Ears to the Ground / Dig For Fire
series in an video interview we did at last years CMJ in NY.
Ok,.,. we were nerdy,,.,.
but the production & quality of the video was tops.
hmm,.,. maybe you will find these interesting:
here are some recent reviews of Forest Field & some interviews:
For those readers in Japan, we will be there in October,
playing with some amazing bands.,.check website for dates.
can..'t wait to say to you all in person. oxox Jesse + Shoko
PS. europe friends- hopefully we will see you next year.
