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!

Been a weird but fun week...last weekend spent with the high voltage Cloud Nothings in DC and Baltimore, and this past weekend in NYC hitting up some of our fave venues and Record Store Day madness. Here are some photos from our show at Glasslands, via Kristen Kim:







Oh yes did we mention our sassy new bassist Sam?



also check out Prisoner featured as the mp3 of the week at Insound: http://www.insound.com/digital/free-mp3s/

and not to mention our tour dates our up on pitchfork! WE ALSO ADDED DALLAS on 6/3! Woot!

Sorry so sloppy.

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!

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,
