Girls in the City

HAAAY! We have been at home for a bit, practicing, writing and getting pumped for tour! In the meantime we've debuted a new song from our Prisoner EP called "Cog" which you can check out here: http://www.alteredzones.com/posts/1306/eternal-summers-cog/

one day we will shake this "beachy" curse on our head. it's the source of minor frustration.

If you have pre-ordered our Prisoner Vinyl it is on it's way so please be patient. Record presses are finnicky places!

Here is a weird bit of footage of MACRoCk 2011, and a brand new song called "Girls in the City," which features Daniel on some moody Lee Ranaldo/dark wave style vocals. Enjoy!

Grinding Halt

What goes on...

SXSW was great....crazy but great! We were psyched to catch A Classic Education, Memoryhouse, Screaming Females, Small Black and Reading Rainbow, but most of all it was nice swimming a pool! Seriously such an underrated activity.

If you didn't know our EP called Prisoner is coming out on April 19th. More details on that soon...with a free download!!!! If you live in NYC please come to our shows on the 15th and 16th so you can grab a copy a little earlier than everyone!

Other than that we are getting ready for our tour out West and back! Vancouver, Seattle, San Francisco, LA, San Diego....we are coming for you!!!!!!! Detroit, Chicago, Cleveland, Minneapolis, Fargo...can't wait to finally meet you! Those dates will be posted later this week!

SXSW and BEYOND!

So as you can see on the right hand margin we've got some new dates up, and details of our busy SXSW! Hopefully I will not get sick this time and lose my voice like last year...

Anyway there are so bands I am really stoked to see so here we go>>>>

LAS ROBERTAS



LOWER DENS



MEMORYHOUSE



A CLASSIC EDUCATION




These are just a few that I am pumped to see. Also pumped for tacos, hang time with band buds from around the world, and swimming in a pool! Hope to see you there!!!

Late in the Day

Yesterday was crazy. We walked into our practice space and everything was a mess. Daniel's bass drum head was busted open, all his sticks were splintered in two. We practiced and I broke a guitar string and then a tube blew in my amp and it smelled burny. These are the days that have to happen...like a van breaking down on tour or someone stealing your gear. DUES.

At the same time so many things are being created! Awesome projects!!! We have three projects right now that will see the light of day this spring... WE ARE EXCITED.

We also have a couple new VA dates for Spring:

2/25 CHARLOTTESVILLE,VA @ THE TEA BAZAAR
3/25 ROANOKE, VA @ KIRK AVENUE
4/2 HARRISONBURG, VA@ MACROCK/CLEMENTINE

and our tour down to SXSW will probably be in the SE, one confirmed date being

3/13 ATLANTA, GA @ 529 w/ DOM

and some possible others including HOUSTON! oh snapp!!! let you know soon about these! Until then check dis out:
