OMG!  Dites Donc! have been so busy lately!  We thought you might appreciate an update...

* * * * * GROAN ZONE* * * * *
We've just finished a new song for a comp that will be out soonishly on States Right Records.  The comp is tenatively titled Groan Zone, following in the tradition of past SR comps Own Zone and Bro Zone.  In homage to the title of the comp, we have done something we never do.  We made a song about our feelings.
Uh, sort of.
The song is called "I'll only play Xiu Xiu Songs If You Break Up With Me".  We'll get it up here soon so you can hear it.
 
* * * * *I LOVE CO-OPERATION!* * * * *
Allison & Lindsay have just finished a grueling round of grad school applications, as we are attempting to get out Master's in fine arts together in the fall.  As all y'all who know us are aware of, we've been doing projects together for a long time under various guises (Fash Attack!, Connexxxion, Reflection, Dites Donc!...) and now we want to do projects together while getting our MFA at the same time.  To this end, we've created a blanket moniker for our of our many projects together.  Friends of Dites Donc!, meet I Love Co-Operation!  Awesome! 
Will the grad schools we apply to think it's awesome?  The jury is still out.  So far at least, they all seem a bit confused by us, which we're interpreting as a good sign.
Ohmigod, and also OMG?
Not simply satisfied with resting on our laurels and watching YouTube after finishing all those wicked grad school apps, we've started work on a new project, just for the ladies, so if you know any ladies, or if you are a lady, you can take part in this...we think it's fuckin' sweet...
This idea came to us the other day while we were celebrating being done with grad school by eating a huge pizza at Pizza Shuttle. 
Basically, we're trying to build a resource guide for all of the amazing women we know. Being crazy-active women, we realized how daunting it can be to do it all yourself, and we have been longing for awhile to find a way to connect with other like-minded ladies. The idea behind the guide is that it will be a directory of fabulous women who were willing to share their knowledge, skills and resources with others in order to build a strong community of awesome ladies doing amazing things! Only women who participate in the project will get a copy of the resource guide when it's finished.

We're super-psyched about it, and if you are also super-psyched about it, and also consider yourself female, you can totally be a part of it.  Just go here, and add I Love Co-Operation as a friend.  Tell us you're down with it, and we'll send you a short survey to complete.  Fill it out, and TA-DA!  Like magic, sometime in March you will receive an attractive and useful directory of awesome women in the mail, with which you can get advice, make connections, procure help for your projects, and meet other awesome women.

Who loves you?  We do.

* * * * * UPCOMING SHOWS AND SUCHLIKE * * * * *
We are very excited, both sexually and otherwise, to announce that we will be playing a show right here in Milwaukee on MARCH 20th with our totally awesome cohort TOTALLY MICHAEL, the only boy we know that can rock a pumpkin costume like he was Prince in those buttless pants.  Could it be love?

We don't have a lot of the deep details on this show yet, such as time and venue, but we will keep you SO updated, so keep checking back in with us, m'kay?
