Current mood:fucked
We had a fantastic tour with Gumbi.  The first couple dates were a scare because we drove through the mountains in Montana during a major blizzard, but after switching trailors we made it to the west coast and played the northwest, down throught California, back through SLC, Colorado and home and had an amazing time.  Playing with Gumbi every night was a stone cold honor.  Thanks to everybody.
they said sort of nice things about us in Seattle's magazine :
Les Deux Magots, Gumbi
(Funhouse) I'm pretty sure it's meant as a joke, but on their MySpace page, Les Deux Magots list their musical genres as Garage/Punk/Grunge. Actually, though, they sound like grunge, and not in a cheesy retro kind of way, either. Their song "Black Vegetable" is just as fuzzy and hooky as some of the great old Seattle grunge acts. And maybe it's just because we're in a recession caused by a Bush, but it's a really welcome sound: I love these guys way more than I could ever love some nostalgia act, because they're young and pissed off and you can just tell they love playing music.

we have some swell things coming up.  check our calendar.
Radio K posted the songs we played on their airwaves in december.  If you want to hear that business check it out here:

We hope to get far away from our home again soon.  In the meantime we have some shows at local bars and underground venues.  fuck.
Thanks to David Hansen (City Pages/ MC/VL) for these kind pre-tour words:
"....a show that sees Les Deux Magot tightening for their upcoming tour. Like any pioneers worth their covered wagon, they're headed west, traveling as lightly and as fearlessly on the interstate as they do in song. They are a two piece of the most strident breed, and they see nothing to fear in the atonal wastes that exist just beyond the surf punk homeland that anchors their musical wanderings."
