We are going to start out this new year with a new album and plans for expansion. I need to start painting again. New designs and better designs. Back to work. I have basically taken a 7 month break from all things art outside of music. Lets start moving again. Thank you so so so much for the AMAZING Anchorage and first ever Wasilla shows. It was so good to see family and classmates and old friends. Ron Tabor and Tony Bartek and his brothers Clayton and ADAM KIMBALL!? I swear, Adam was the best friend I had when I was a kid. First friend I ever made in kindergarten.. I still remember that.
From Subterranean in Chicago, November 11, 2008. A great crowd in this sold-out show. We had loads of fun this night. This video has “Lay Me Back Down” and “Chicago” and a whole lot of noise in it.
Hey everyone, it’s been a while since our last update here. Gold Tour ended in November and was absolutely amazing. Still in the process of getting all the pictures up. Right at this moment we are in Alaska playing a few shows then we are back to working on our new album in January.
We would also like to thank all of you who helped us in the mtvU voting, we ended up winning and you can see the result here. We couldn’t of done it without you guys and we appreciate everything you do!
While some updates are being finished (videos, gold tour photos and misc) here are some photos snapped by Erinn J Hale. They are from the Salem, OR show and decided to put them up here because we really enjoyed them.
So, Brandy (our merch/web man) told us to go over and check out the mtvu freshman page after last nights show… We have a huge appreciation for this acknowledgment MTV has given as well as love for all of you who have voted and have been voting for our video. The first thing we all noticed was the overall negativity on the mtvu page regarding ours and the other bands involved in this "competition". To be very clear, there is no room for this in our boat. We play music to promote love, period. We have emailed the other bands involved apologies for the negative comments left under our name as well as in our name. Please send some love along and vote for the band you like best. We love all of you very much. It is very flattering to have fans that are so passionate about our band and what it represents. We feel very lucky to have this. So. Continue to vote, continue to live and work and listen and grow. Spread only love. It is all we need.
We try not to hype ourselves or ask for your help to often but this one recently came across and we thought we would let you know. MTV U has put our video for "Lay Me Back Down" into their "Freshmen" voting pool. It is all kinda weird to us since bands like us tend to not get much attention from MTV. We just do what we do and it is cool to know that they think it might fit. Maybe it will open doors for us or for bands like us who tend to fly below the mainstream
Anyway, what we need is for you to go vote. The voting ends on November 28th, I think you can vote several times. So once again we are out here trying to get the vote out but this time in a decidedly un-important election!
Hey everybody! We would like to thank you to everyone who came out to the Chicago show for an amazing show. It’s too bad that the show was cut short because of curfew but we had a kick ass time. Thanks for all your support!
Right now we are in Dekalb at The House Cafe getting everything going. Tomorrow there we will update all of the gold tour pictures with every tour.
So once again thanks everyone for your support and make sure you browse through the site and subscribe to our twitter for constant updates!
