Another European tour, a trip to Australia, and I think I am finally ready to stomach another open letter that will be shot into space.
First of all, a belated and humble thanks to Mickster, Chris, Yvette, Mikey and the guys in ECSR, and all else who were involved with our Australian tour. Australia is the friendliest place I have ever visited and a true rock n' roll holdout. We miss it already.
We have two new releases to mention. The first of which is a 7 inch on Dirtnap Records containing the songs "Nothing Conquers Us" and "Scary Bad." Recorded by Justin Perkins in Milwaukee. We've been excited about these songs for a long time and are happy to have found a friend and home for them in Dirtnap Records.
Also keep a look out for "Arcobaleno,"a 5 song, one-sided 12 inch record coming out on the classy Wild Honey Records out of Italy. These five songs were recorded in Italy by Mojo Matt of the Mojomatics. While not an album, the songs and production fit together in a conceptual way that is exciting and new for us. The other side of the record will feature a hand etched print by Mojo Matt.
In the meantime, we have started the recording of a new record, conceded to poverty by actually working a little, toured with other bands (Go see JAIL and the MOJOMATICS on tour right now!), made videos (check out ROCK and ROLL REMOTE CONTROLLER and our unreleased version of the Jukeboyd classic "Wake Up and Talk To Me"), and generally got wierder and more out of touch, but thats the way we like it.
