Friends,

It’s been quite some time in the making, but that time has all but passed, and all that making finally made… Lo, the great passage of time and... uh, the great making of things... What was made during all that time, you ask? Well, we’re giddy-as-schoolkids eager to tell you! So let us get right to it, lest we get too cluttery on you… Yes! Let us!

We have this new record, see? Called Divide & Conquer, see? It comes out here in the good ole US of A (Canada, too!) on August 25th courtesy of Supply & Demand Music, see? Assuming you live in North America, you’ll be able to grab a copy—physical or digital—at damn near any retailer of your choosing, be it iTunes, Amazon, eMusic, etc. or your favoritest indie record shop.

But never mind all that hullabaloo for now, because you can pre-order a very affordable advance copy of D&C online right this very moment and we’ll ship it to you a whole week early, making you the coolest cat on your block for at least seven or so days. We promise. For all you black circle spinners we’re also offerin’ up a discounted combo package with our recently released 7” record. That’s called sweetenin’ the deal in business-speak, see?

Moving right along... We keep hearin’ folks use the term “web 2.0” these days, so we decided to see what all the fuss was about. Lo and behold, the fuss was, well, worth all the fuss, and so we went all progressive and high-tech and got some of that fancy 2.0 for ourselves. The Kinks called last century the edge of insanity, but they weren’t even close. Find Vandaveer everywhere! On Twitter! Facebook! MySpace! Last.FM! iLike! The 61! YouTube! Insane!

Lastly, in a few short days we’ll embark on a mammoth, many-months-long tour that will take us all over these great & United States of ours, through many a town in the Old World, then back west for even more stateside songsingin’. We very much want to see you out and about, see? Where, you ask? Below, see?!
