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:

GNARLY SWEATY DROOL (an homage to TLC)

Oh my we had a RIDICULOUS time in Philly/NYC/Charlottesville this past weekend!!! Some highlights:

Censoring punk for children, dogs and old people at Penn Treaty Park. Then a lot of pizza!
Watching Smashing Pumpkins Vieuphoria with RR and Family Trees at RR's Mansion.
Ginger beer.....really beer with ginger.
Gnarly sweaty hairy set at Live at the Pyramids in Williamsburg.
Beach Fossils old and new all actually being at our show, ON TIME!
Noodle shop by the Cake Shop with waiter who could break out into song at any moment.
Getting two parking tickets on Friday the 13th!!!! YIKES.
Playing a Gretsch hollow body because of a broken string- mellow punk!

the other also amazing Neil

Speaking of Neil- we got asked to be part of a Neil Young compilation recently. Has anyone ever noticed how after listening to a bunch of Neil Young you are usually emotionally changed for the sadder afterwards? Heavy and beautiful stuff. Could make a person really depressed depending. I think we know which song we are gonna do but it's hush hush right now. If you have a good suggestion let us know!

Also we got our first review of Silver this week here: http://www.ifc.com/news/2010/08/eternal-summers-silver.php
Yeah I know...The Independent Film Channel? HAHAHAHAHA!

And a song that I wish we could do:
