So.... We've been in hiding for a while now eh? I know. I know. Trust me, it's been killing us! I think it was last November when we got home from tour and since then, about all we've been thinking about is writing! It was a lot of fun to get back into the head space for a while. And, it was refreshing to take a bit of time to ourselves... But, all the fun and games are over and it's back to fucking work!!!
We're currently in Williamsburg, New York city working on our yet to be named second full length album! It's exciting every time I say it...

We're jumping into a bit of a risk here. We've had to borrow quite a bit of money to get this record going. We've (thankfully) cut off all the ties with Universal and weren't interested in any of the interest we received for others... After an experience like working with Universal, it was very obvious that you can't let any dickhead work your records. At the time, we're not signed to anyone! We've had to borrow the cash to get this record going... But really... We've never felt better. Even our manager has said he's never felt more comfortable about our band! We are back to doing what we love, WORKING! Trying to survive! Having something to say! It's very exciting!

New York City itself is fucking mind blowing. It just screams of character. There is even a Chinesse resturaunts kitchen directly besides the front door to the place we're staying! It's an incredibly unique city. The most in the world I would say. It is really inspiring this record. And I forgot to mention these producers (Gus and his partner Warner) are handing us our asses! They are really getting into this record and bringing out areas and ideas that we've never done before! It's like going to school.
I can't wait to get some stuff up for you all to hear!

We're going to be putting some videos and pictures up of this whole trip so keep checking the myspace!

Not sure when the record will be coming out. We're kind of just getting things together... But this is an experience for the books! I find myself always getting a chuckle thinking about playing drums bringing me to NYC for a month! SWEEEEEEEET

Take care and keep checking back for the photos and videos and blogs and all that fun stuff!!

Mike
