We will have some kind of new music offerings and merch for our summer tour, plus a whole new live set. We are doing about a week with our brothers and label mates, Gifts From Enola!!!!!!!!!!!! Tour in a school bus :) woohoo!!!!!April 2010
So After a year in hibernation we are finally back. We are kicking off our end-of-hibernation with a show at The Comet Tavern on Wednesday, April 21st with our good friends Bronze Fawn, Judgement Day (an awesome sting band from SF featuring the violinist from Bright Eyes), and opening will be Aerglo. This show will be followed by another at the Skylark Cafe in West Seattle featuring the almighty Post Harbor, and Armed With Legs . This show will commence on Saturday, May 1st at 9pm. We will be playing new music at these shows and hopefully rocking harder than we ever have. We are so excited to be playing live again!!! We hope to see you at some shows soon and there will be many more to come!

Hello all (or few), Its been quite a while since our last communication, and for that I apologize. We have been in hibernation, not really working on anything, mostly just trying to wrap our own heads around our personal lives. We officially end our hiatus this Friday. We promise we will get back to practicing, playing shows, recording, and making merchandise. We are still going to be doing things at our own pace, but we really want to release some music in 2010. As it stands now, we are thinking of releasing a short 3 or 4 song ep by ourselves and then doing a full LP, CD, MP3 package with the fine folks at the Mylene Sheath possibly summer 2010. There will be touring in support of the new music and we are going to try our hardest to make it back east! I will report more news as it comes in. Thanks for sticking with us.love,
Brandon

Hey Gang,
How many of you have downloaded music without paying for it? I know most of us have at one time or another, but most of us (!!!) feel guilty. Well, now you can download some YMDITD for free and we still get royalities! The good folks over at the Mylene Sheath have teamed up with www.gimmiesound.com to provide listeners free tunes. All of the Mylene sheath digital realeases are available, plus other music that I have not checked out yet. If you are down for some free tunes go and do it and tell your friends!

Other than that we are bascially taking a break for a while. We have most of the full length written, but we all have a lot of other personal stuff going on right now. We really appreciate your patience with us. I know how hard it is to wait for new music, and believe me we all want new music out as much as you do!!! Enjoy your summer.
xoxo,
Brandon
April 2009
Wow, I can't believe that it is spring already. It is still raining in Seattle, but there are blossoms everywhere! We are still lying low and trying to write some new songs and play the occasional show. Speaking of shows we have a show on Thursday, April 16th @ the Sunset Tavern w/ El Ten Eleven, and The Luna Moth. We'll let you know when we have more updates about recording, merch, and all the other stuff that some of you care about :) Until next time... xoxo,Brandon
February 2009
The new year came and went with so much to look forward to. We are having a really hard time trying to coordinate our schedules and finding a practice space here in Seattle. If anyone knows of, or has a cheap or FREE practice space let us know and we'll hook you up! There is a lot of talk about what we will be doing this year, but no firm plans yet. Here is a wishlist: Record a full length, record a 7", full USA tour, SXSW, new shirts/merchandise, new haircuts :)Who knows how much of that we will or can accomplish, but those are some goals that we have. Thanks again to everyone who supported us through 2008, especially the folks at The Mylene Sheath!!! We should be playing some shows around town this spring, and if we can do a full USA tour it will likely be in late summer.
Here is a clip from a house show we played this winter of a new song that we have been jamming on...
