I found matt’s old vest when we were up in vermont. I searched for his butt flap but couldn’t find it. I wish I knew matt when he was a 16 year old punk!

I think it took us so long to record GRAND because we had to figure out things like where to put the mics to make it sound good. We moved alot of mics around!

Here is where we recorded.
It is the house matt grew up in and is pretty far from everything
The only one to complain about us being loud were the cows!

recording… i like to be organized so i decided to make this progress board! ok i just like to put stickers on things.

Now that the holidays have come to a close… and hopefully you’ve made it out alive, we wanted to OFFICIALLY start the countdown to something that we are way, WAY, more then proud of, our second album… GRAND.  We’ll have a new photo from the recording process everyday, as well as updates and long lost videos until our album comes out JANUARY 20TH, INAUGURATION  DAY.

A couple days after that, we kick off two months of shows, with such bands as THE MAE SHI, CUT COPY, CHAMPAGNE CHAMPAGNE and HAWNAY TROOF.  We have a new stage show that we’re looking forward to fucking up in yer town so come laugh at us, yell at us and get buck wild.
see you soon
matt

I’ve been asked a bunch of times what the heck i’m sayin in this song (aka what are the lyrics) they go a little something like this…

P.S. the gas is shut off in my building due to a leak and a rumor of the building almost exploding… and while we didn’t die then, there is now no heat… so lets see if we make it through the night.

DAYLIGHT

we cut the legs off of our pants
threw our shoes into the ocean
sit back and wave through the daylight
sit back and wave through the daylight

slip and slide on subway grates
these shoes are poor mans ice skates
fall through like change in the daylight
fall through like change in the daylight

i miss yellow lines in my roads
some color on monochrome
maybe i’ll paint them in myself
maybe i’ll paint them in myself

these sidewalks liquid then stone
building walls and an old pay phone
it rings like all through the daylight
it rings like all through the daylight

chorus
and in the daylight we can hitchhike to maine
i hope that someday i’ll see without these frames
and in the daylight i don’t pick up my phone
cause in the daylight anywhere feels like home

I have five clocks in my life
and only one has the time right
i’ll just unplug it for today
ill just unplug it for today

open hydrant rolled down windows
this car might make a good old boat
and float down grand street in daylight
and float down grand street in daylight

and with just half of a sunburn
new yellow lines that i earned
step back and here comes the night time
step back and here comes the night time

chorus
and in the daylight we can hitchhike to maine
i hope that someday i’ll see without these frames
and in the daylight i don’t pick up my phone
cause in the daylight anywhere feels like home
