WORKING ON STUFF!!!!

Hello everyone!


Just writing a little something to keep everyone up to date on everything. Lets see......last week we played the Eyeball Records CMJ showcase in New York City. We had a lot of fun, and it was good to see a lot of our old friends that came out and chilled with us. We got a lot of good feedback from the performance--which is always nice to hear. Starting tomorrow we are pretty much just focusing on writing a lot of new material, and we are really excited....we have a lot of parts laying around between all of us--so lets see what happens....

We should also be back out on the road in late November/early December with a band from New York...can't tell ya who yet...but it should be a lot fun. I think it will be about two weeks, and pretty much we will be hitting up the north east portion of the country again. ----but we will see what happens when it is all booked. Personally I would love to get a little more southern in the next few months (ie: baltimore, richmond etc)...may be we will try to set a few dates up.

We got drunk last night, and Lee cut his hair off......it's been like 9 years........kinda ridiculous..ha

Besides that---thanks to everyone who bought the EP online...we really appreciate it........and please help spread the word..we can you all the help we can get...

thanks!!!!!!!

Tour blog--well a short one anyways-

Hello everyone-

So-Today is the last day of tour. It has been a lot of fun the past two weeks running around the North Eastern United States. We started off playing some some shows in the local Area (philly and Jersey) and made our way up around Mass, New Hampshire, Pittsburgh, Washington DC and finally to our home town of Newark, Delaware. Met a lot of real nice people, drank some beer (ok a lot of beer), spent all of our money, spent a lot of money to get the van actually rolling again before tour. Actually that is a funny story...we blew our transmission out a few days before the tour, and had to get a Uhaul cargo van to do the first show in Jersey. Darby, Pat and Nate sat up front...while Kevin, Lee and myself laid in the back with the equipment....kinda funny......no moving air..etc....anyways----we became real good friends with this band Lannen Fall from the Boston area....really cool guys..and you should check them out if you get the chance. It's always nice to meet nice bands on the road.........and we appreciate everything guys!

Interesting notes from tour-

-We now have a bunny costume that will be coming with us on tour....it's ridiculous....don't ask us where it came from.....stolen may be....shhh..

-Pat gets scared when Darby drives the van.

-We found so much Coors Original beer on the road--my favorite------hell yes

Hmmmmm....what else.....well we got our EP the day we left for tour, and have been selling it........it's mastered and sounds pretty damn good....so--we are proud of it. I believe it should be available on ITunes on the 16th of October. So----PLEASE PRE ORDER!!!!!-----we could use all the support we can get. Thanks to everyone that made it out to the shows, thanks to all of our friends that let us crash their houses and eat their food, and thank you for reading this.

I would also like to take the time to welcome Kevin to the band.....he has been playing with us for a few weeks, but we are too lazy to post anything about it. He is a real good guy, a real old friend and a great guitarist. So thanks kevin for be part of it all.

ALSO---we can't wait for europe in February!

thanks-

ps- In the future I will try to write more on the road to make it a little more personal...etc.........so...
