July 2011 return to Canada

I’m writing this from a starbucks lobby in Toronto, so maybe “return to Canada” is a bit preemptive, but here we go.
This July, we will be doing some dates with handsome gentlemen Make Do and Mend/Balance and Composure, including a couple of them with boyfriends Touche Amore and new friends-to-be White Wives.
Ticket presales and facebook groups and whatever else comes with announcing dates will come soon. For now, enjoy this bright poster and the list of cities we will be in. Hope to see you!

writing and writing and writing…

Thank you for being patient.

Hello all,

It’s been a little while: time for an update.

We’re home safely from a beautiful trip to and from Australia and New Zealand. I think it’s safe to say we had the time of our lives. One more thank you to all the fine folks who helped make the tour such a pleasant experience. We’re surely going to miss all our lovely Australian mates.

Now it’s time for a break from touring for a bit. Besides fighting off snow drifts and winter depression, we’ll be writing the other half of the next record, followed by a second and final recording session in April. Ah yes, the real work begins.

To answer a few questions we’ve been receiving about 2011:

– yes, we will be touring the states. (soon, and with lots of friends.)

– yes, we’re coming back to Europe/UK. (with some different friends.)

– yes, the split with Koji is finished and will be released in the near future. (he’s a very talented and handsome friend.)

– yes, the new album will be out this year. (with a little help from our friends.)

 

More updates on all of the above and more soon.

 

Until then, be good. Oh! and get stoked for Defeater’s new record. It is going to destroy you.
