maybe you noticed a little bit back where we had a tour in august that was all through the US and canada and then suddenly almost all those shows dissapeared. well the band we were suppose to roll with, french kicks,had to can most the tour to support for another tour yet we are still going to be on the west coast for a couple weeks in the middle to end of august and are siked about that cause maybe by the ol’ pacific it’ll be a little cooler then here in new york where kim and i have been sleeping in our practice space cause our aparment is a total oven and we were too cheap to buy an air conditioner and now it seems like this city is sold out of ‘em. and we also have a tour coming up in september-october that we just put some dates up for, and that’s with the amazing king tuff. this photo is from balitmore a week or two ago at Whartscape, where leaving we took a wrong turn and we saw the craziest pimp/prostitute situation. the dude (pimp) just counting a huge stack of cash on the sidewalk at 3:30 am while a few women in heals that must have been over a foot tall leaned into car windows and it was within a block of a police station! baltimore is crazy.
we initially recorded back in march at infrasonic studio in LA. a great place with the help of awesome dude lars “no veggies” stalfors. yet after we thought we could hammer it out in less days than we could actually do it (singing 11 hours a day then playing shows afterwards, i could hardly talk!) we had to cancel some shows, stay longer, rush to get it finished, and then drive half way across the country from LA to iowa city to catch back up to our tour with meneguar. woo. but in receiving the final mix after we had rushed so much, we felt it was not quite how we wanted it. so we went back to work on it in a by-coastal track exchange for 3 months… (man were we off thinking we could do it in a week!) and last week we sent out the final mix that we are totally stoked on! but in conclusion the release date won’t be till october, but we try to live by the ol’ “if it’s worth doing… it’s worth doing right” sorta thing and we are really proud of how it came out.
we moved to this new format of web pagin’, function over fashion, cause we figure we could actually maybe update it. i hope you can get down. readin’ that back i guess i have a problem with the letter “g”.
