LET US SLEEP IN YOUR BED

Hey friends,
We are going on tour for a long time this summer.
Hotels kinda suck, and the only people you get to hang out with are the 5 people you’ve been locked in a moving metal box with for the last 15 hours. So we’re going to try and meet new people on this tour and offer FREE ADMISSION and a +1 to any of the following shows if you’re able to let us stay with you for the evening. Here’s all we need:
*For you to be cool with 5 really polite guys sleeping on your floor.
*A place to park our van.
All the following dates are with The Bouncing Souls and The Menzingers.

June 12, 2012 Washington, DC
June 13, 2012 Carrboro, NC
June 16, 2012 Ft. Lauderdale, FL

FEVERS AND MIRRORS

Hey all,
We’re really bummed to announce that we will not be playing at Pouzza Fest in Montreal tonight due to serious illness within the band. We hate canceling shows. We’re really sorry to anyone who had planned to come and see us. Make sure you check out all of the bands we’ve been / will be playing with on this tour: The Bouncing Souls, Hot Water Music, The Menzingers and The Holy Mess. Thanks!

LUTHER + CHUNKSAAH RECORDS =

We spent the last six months writing a record. We are really excited to be recording it in Asbury Park, NJ with our dear friend Pete Steinkopf. We are also really excited that the kind folk over at Chunksaah Records (Bouncing Souls, Loved Ones, Hot Water Music, Tim Barry) are going to be releasing this record in the form of our first full length in the late summer/early fall of 2012. Head on over to their website for more information.

I COULD WAKE UP IN A BEEHIVE

Hey,
We are fortunate enough to be part of a stellar compilation from the good people over at Generic Insight who have been nothing but super sweet to us since we started. We submitted a new song called “Sunset, Sugar” you can check it out here. Be sure to check out all the other rad bands on it. If you’re not familiar with all the generous and supportive things that Generic Insight does for the underground music scene, specifically in New York, you best educate yourself.

I LOVE LIVING IN THE CITY

Tour was so good. We got to play a bunch of free arcade games in Cleveland. Nice.
So, we’re going to be dropping some figurative bombs on you fine folk in the upcoming weeks, but until then, this is our next show. We played Stay Sweet last year and are really excited to be part of part deux. Our buddy Max Stern made this rad poster.
