Been Travellin'
Archived November 13, 2007
So since our last belated blog entry, we've done some travelling, played a bunch of wonderful shows in the UK, including a really special and memorable one at the Green Man Festival in Wales. Thanks to everyone who came out to those shows and hopefully we'll be back before too long with some new tunes and more exciting dance moves.
We also just did a short run with our friends The Shins. Those guys are the best! Thanks for taking us along with you, having us share the stage with you at Merriweather and Terminal 5 and also sharing hot tubs and mechanical bulls with us as well. Good times. Thanks as always to the lovely Alissa Anderson for the photos and moving the merch. You rule! And another big hug to Eric Johnson, who gave us the Johnson guarantee: night after night of complete and total amazingness. Thanks Eric!
Also another huge, loving thanks to the Franks and their amazing restaurant in Brooklyn, at which you should all go eat. A moonbow in the sky, and time flying by with friends...what more could you ask for?!
Lastly, we never would have looked as good as we did (see photo below) without the fine threadwork and fancypants provided us by the ever-classy folks at Loden Dager. They make great clothes! Thanks Paul, Alex, Oliver, et al. We look better now.
At the moment, I am on the road with Devendra Banhart, Otto is playing and recording with a bunch of folks, and Sanders and Brent are living large in North Carolina, storing up the energy of the sun. I'll be mixing a new record of songs we recorded which were written by other people besides myself (they're calling those "cover" songs these days!) in December which we'll hopefully release sometime in the Spring. Early next year a 12" remix of two songs from our last record will finally be available...better late than never, methinks. I've been told it sounds like Depeche Mode, which makes me very happy.
Hope your end of the year tidies itself up nicely and if anything interesting comes up we'll do our best to make mention of it right here.
