Dear friends,
The "Y-2-Slay" / "Hang Balls, No Regrets" tour was a spectacular success. After a lot of T-Bell and even more T-Pain hits later, we are back home begrudgingly accepting our regular daily schedules once again. Seeing Native play every night was a real treat and we wish it could have lasted longer, but I think we made all our dates count by playing hard and hanging harder.
Tour Thanks
Thank you to:
-Native for being an awesome band, awesome peoples, and really small in physical size, making my van experience all the more pleasurable. They also read a lot of Buttman Magazine
-Buttman Magazine for publishing the most deplorable material I have ever seen
-Killer Cunningham for always staying posi
-Hannah "the Roz" Rosner for providing much needed female balance and motherly care....er something like that
-Jake Norris and everyone at the Norris Fun-Land for letting us shoot their semi-automatic weapons, play with their horses, raid their fridge(s), and ride their motorcycles
-Erfert for having the most puzzling band name I have ever heard of
-Pigs on Ice for having a wildly extravagant laser light show
-Blo-No bros, Porch Honkey/Simple Days, Mark, John, Glenna, Nate, Jeremy
-Ghost towns for being great dudes and showing mercy after I botched an attempt at a "My friend peter" cover at their hometown show
-everyone in Canyons for screening the Dark Knight and Cheaters on a projector screen
-Mountain Asleep for showing us around Lousiville and broing down hard
-Cheaters for being the most ridiculously scripted television show ever
-Joey Greco of Cheaters for taking a vicious stabbing in the name of fidelity
-Canyons, Total Resistance, Colon-izer, Geraldo, Loose Lips Sink Ships, Hunter Gatherer, Mountain Asleep, Xerxes, How to Murder, and anyone we played with that I have forgotten
-Jennifer at the Voodoo Lounge ;)
-Nashville for existing. I still can't believe it. People actually wear cowboy boots and hats and drink from mason jars and only listen to music with slide guitars
-all the fantastic DIY spaces we were able to experience, including the Haunted Basement, the Ghost House, the Canyon House, Lemp Arts Center, and Skull Alley
-Megan and Amanda for being great friends and driving from NW Indiana to St Louis to hang balls on New Years Eve
-Dave Summers for showing us the $5 dollar shopping spree and taking rad pics
-All our best friends who came to see us, everyone who checked out oceans or native and then came and saw us, everyone who listened thoughtfully, everyone who showed us hospitality, it means so much. THANK YOU

Copper Lung Records will be releasing our full length album "Nothing Collapses"! The release will be Copper Lung's first full length and will be available on CD now and perhaps vinyl on a later date, although no plans for vinyl are solid quite yet. We are working with Three Bears design on the album art, and as soon as it is done, the album will be going to print. The official pre-sale should be up soon, and we couldn't be more excited to be working with Anthony and co. at Copper Lung. Check out our great company at www.copperlungrecords.com
Hang hard, no regrets, smoke riffs,
