FEATURED 2011 was a hell of a year.

These postcards were given away at a few of our recent shows, including Lollapalooza. You can draw the rest and make us look like a couple of jerks. Send them back to us ’cause we love getting mail and we’ll put ones we like on our site. Here are some we’ve received so far. Lovin’ the chopped off head!

You didn’t get a postcard? Download a PDF version and mail it to us!

Hope all is awesome.

Siren Festival is taking place this Saturday (July 17th) in Brooklyn at Coney Island. We are headlining this year and will be hitting the stage at 7:30. We haven’t played a New York show in over a year.  It is time to come home!

I was packing my bag and thought I would share with you things you might need:

Sunscreen – Matt is so white that if the sun peeks through a shadow it burns him.

Water - Sometimes we forget, but you need a “spacer” between all those beers.

Money for beer – Unless you can scam some… Girls, bat those eyelashes!

Short shorts – Coney Island is hot.  Why wear a lot of clothing?!

Bathing suit or underwear - Who’s ballsy enough to jump in that water?

Cell phone – It’s crazy how you can lose someone as soon as you step off the train.

Grape juice – Come on guys… you know there isn’t grape juice in that bottle.

Your dance shoes – They don’t have to be fancy. They don’t even have to be on your feet.

Extra life – You have to ride The Cyclone and if you survive it you just used up your extra life!

See you guys Saturday.

Big hugs
Kim

Philly was a great way to start the holiday weekend. We played a free outdoor show for Radio 104.5. The Piazza was packed and people were ready to let loose in true Philly style. I am going to say that Matt pulled the stupidest stunt when he climbed above the stage. If anyone has photos of that please send them over.
Our 4th of July got a bit out of control, ending the weekend at a friends backyard BBQ party. We watched Matt’s brothers band, “Fletcher C Johnson” and our friend J’s band “The Goddamn Rattlesnake” play.  It was time to call it quits when a crazy neighbor jumped the fence and started shooting roman candles at everyone. GO USA!

It is always nice to play Boston.  Matt and I are both from New England, so our families come out in full force.  This also means we are on our best behavior…which means I don’t talk much on the mic. You never know what is going to slip out of my mouth. I don’t even know.

Here are a couple pictures from the WFNX Clambake we played yesterday

We also did a secret show in Chicago that was a crazy 3-floor party.  Chicago, you never let us down.

Big hugs,
kim

Pull out all the stops
We are coming home tonight
A pair of old boxing gloves in a new fight
Where every single scar
Well, it means something to me
As if life wrote down my history
My history

Bottles and road signs
Sound like tires on bent wheels
Our hands and feet and ordinary thrills
When we unlocked all the doors
Just so we could finally breathe
Just so we could sew down these torn-up sleeves

Here we stand with a wolf-like shadow
Here we stand in the end
Hey New York, here’s our wolf-like shadow
Hey New York, our old friend

This roof could be my bed
Blankets feel like the night sky
Blankets feel better the heavier they get

Red lights can mean go
I’ll take us home
I’ll take us home
Cut down the blinds from my windows

I stood back on the couch
Remembered this is my life
With my hands over my head
Friends by my side

Here is where we’ll go
I’ll take us home
I’ll take us home
I’ll take us home

Here we stand with a wolf-like shadow
Here we stand in the end
Hey New York, here’s our wolf-like shadow
Hey New York, our old friend
