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!

a thank you:

goes out to those of you who have taken time out of your day to write to us. We’ve received some wonderful letters and postcards in the last couple weeks! We’re lucky to have such great friends.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

File Under: Surprise.

The cat that is tonight’s DAAC show got let out of its bag on Facebook, which means if you’re reading this you’ve probably already heard.

That is, I assume we’re all sufficiently tapped into the social network network so, assuming I’m correct, you’ve already received the notification regarding us playing a GR show tonight and this is pretty unnecessary but I figure better safe than sorry so I’m covering this base and also I like writing things (particularly excessively long and grammatically shoddy sentences) and this kind of gave me an excuse to do so so deal with it.

But seriously, in not so excessive terms: our friends Xerxes from Louisville were supposed to play the DAAC tonight with our friends Native and Reptilian but had to drop, due to truly unfortunate circumstances, and we got asked to fill in for them. Having nothing to do but hang out, eat snacks, and watch hockey or whatever, we agreed.

SO! Come to the DAAC tonight. And tell all your friends. Do remember though that the DAAC is a small place and must respect capacity so please, please show up early if you’d like to get in. And don’t be mad if you show up late and get turned down, such is the nature of the beast, and I know we’ve covered this before. So…warned, I guess.

NATIVE, LA DISPUTE, THE REPTILIAN, THEY COME IN WAVES @ THE DAAC IN GRAND RAPIDS, MI

DOORS ARE AT 7:30. $6 I THINK BUT DON’T QUOTE ME. LIMITED CAPACITY.

CATCH YOU LATA.

home.

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.

home for a few days.

Tour was so wonderful, thanks to everyone who came out to any of the shows. Huge hugs to Shay, Lukas, Touche Amore, and ENVY for being some of the greatest people in the world. We’re going to miss all of you.

Now time to put the finishing touches on some new tunes before we head into the studio next week. Busy Busy Busy.

Shortly after that we’ll be on our way to Canada with Alexisonfire. Please check out the dates, we’ve added a couple more!
