Current mood:  accomplished

Chinese Telephones are officially finished as of last night.  I think
we all agree that it was our best last show yet, which is good because
it's real this time.  Thanks to everyone that came out, especially
those who traveled to be there.  It's too bad Killer Dreamer's flight
got messed up and they couldn't make it, and Matty Awesome (it was his
birthday show) was stuck in Chicago waiting to pick them up.  Megan
Pants was supposed to get a ride from Matty, too.  So, some people that
definitely belonged there were missing, but we still had a great time. 

We had a pretty good 5 years, and want to thank everyone that has
helped us out in any way, partied with us, and made it fun for us to do
what we did.  Also, thanks to everyone who has played in the band. 
We've met so many great people on tours that we probably wouldn't have
met otherwise.  Hopefully we'll continue to see all of those new
friends on tours in other bands. 
If you haven't already, check out the other bands that we play in.  Andy is in Holy Shit!, and Daniel is in the Daniel James Gang and the Jack Moves
At some point Andy and I (Justin) will start a new band with our friend
Eric from Bored Straight on drums and someone better than me on 2nd
guitar.  It'll probably take a while to get together and write enough
new songs to have a set and/or record, so it'll be some time before
anything comes of that. 
Anyway, thanks again to everyone who made it an amazing 5 years for us.  We really appreciate it.
Love,
Chinese Telephones

here's an interview we did with a girl that does a local music blog.

Your show in Tokyo was one of the best night I spent in Japan... and i spent a lot of good times and saw a lot of good shows there!
Anyway thanks for that memory and for all the songs you recorded!

I agree w/ Justin. That Japan tour was without a doubt the funnest time I've had playing music in my life. Thanks guys.

Thank you! The tour in Japan was the best time of my life. I'm so glad we were able to do that and get to play to a bunch of people halfway around the world that knew and liked our songs.

Thanks for the music and memories. I haven't met anyone who, after sharing your songs with them, didn't love it. Also, thanks to Justin for the email communique and the speed in which you managed to get stuff I ordered from you all the way to Seoul.
If your new band is operational and tour-ready by the fall of 2010 (and if you feel like a long flight), you're more than welcome here in the land of the morning calm!
