word up 2011

Whoah I can't believe January is almost OVER! SHEEEZE. Well so it's been a great year so far. Our friend Aaron DeBruin directed a new video for us for Safe at Home which you can see here and also other places:



We are trying to scrimp and save so our trip to SXSW will be somewhat livable. We heard Lower Dens uses a rice cooker and canned beans to survive and may try that out until we hate both beans and rice forever. Me hate rice? NEVER. STEREOTYPE!

In other news we finally got our act together and recorded a 4 song EP that will come out in the Spring. It's called Prisoner EP and it will be a ROCKER!

Also were you at our shows in Philly, New York, DC or Harrisonburg VA this past month? Did you notice something different about our live show?

LOVE,
nicole

End of Year thanks!

This year has been so rad. We have been able to tour and release our first album with one of the most supportive labels ever! KANINE represent! Also meeting so many rad people who have been so positive about our tunes....thank you thank you thank you! We are so late to post this on our blog but here is the video for "Pogo" via Rambos Rainbos in Ft. Worth. check it out!!!



Also we will be heading north yet again for a short romp, a couple dates with TYVEK who are ridiculously punk in every way. LOVE! here are the dates so far:

1/14 PHILADELPHIA at Chacharazzi w/ Moon Women and TYVEK
1/15 BROOKLYN at Glasslands w/ Sweet Bulbs, THE BEETS, and TYVEK
1/16 WASHINGTON DC at the Red Palace w/ APACHE BEAT

we may be playing on 1/13 in Baltimore if we could find a local b'more band to jump on. Any suggestions?

TOP SONGS for 2010

So much has happened in the past month that my head would fall off...sorry not gonna finish that sentence! HA! anyway just wanted to say THANKS to everyone who has believed in us and supported our music this year! we are just two kids from the mountains trying to do our thangggg.

This year has not been a huge one for me buying albums of new cool bands, but I really wanted to write a top songs list because there have been TONS of songs that have blown my mind this year! This is in no particular order:

FAMILY TREES- "Dream Talkin"
SLEEP OVER- "Outer Limits"
DUNGEN- "Marken Lag Stilla"
COASTING- "Hots for Teacher"
HIS CLANCYNESS- "Summer Majestic"
PURE ECSTASY- "Easy"
READING RAINBOW- "Underground"
SECRET COLOURS- "Jellybean"
THE YOUNG SINCLAIRS- "You Can Have Her"
DUM DUM GIRLS- "Rest of Our Lives"
THE RADIO DEPT- "Heaven's on Fire"
BEACH FOSSILS- "Desert Sand"
AIR WAVES- "Knock Out"

Homeward Bound

Cannot believe it's November 15th! yayeeee! Anyway we officially took a couple week vacation after our tour just to regroup. This past tour taught us a lot...we even wrote a list of "lessons learned" because we are HUGE DORKS. We won't share those until we have enough to publish a little book about it. One thing is for sure- do not listen to Simon and Garfunkel's "Homeward Bound" in the height of fall foliage in upstate New York while on tour. Your heart will break!

Other news: we are recording a 4 song EP that will be a joint release with our lovely label Kanine records and another label that we totally respect and love. SURPRISES IN STORE!

Also: we will be heading up to Philadelphia to work with mastermind Aaron DeBruin this weekend to shoot a video. Then we head up to Brooklyn for a sweeeeet show at Monster Island Basement this friday the 19th that looks a lil somethin like this:
