st. louis loves to rain

howdy ya'll. We are currently shacking up in a hotel in St. Louis after 2 days of driving from Austin, Texas... or you could call it the binge drinking hell that is South By Southwest. And I mean the good kind of hell. We haven't had a show since Thursday and boredominsanity is taking effect. We lost our documentarian Patrick Caudle in Texas who had to go back home to go back to school and work on making us look cool on film. We shot roughly 30 hours of tape over 2 weeks so expect some videos and possibly even a film about our experience out here in the next couple of months (these things take time). Our sound engineer Chainsaw is also leaving soon, I think today, to go pursue more fruitful interests at home, so good luck to him as well. What all this really means is that this is the first time it will be just the 6 of us fools on the road together since spring 2005, close to when the band first started. Helloooo van space.

We've been playing new songs every night, trying to change things up to make them fresh for us and for you, so please, if you hear something you like, hit us up on here, on myspace, anywhere, and let us know! We will be circulating some new demos on here we recorded at the Gordon Roadhouse as soon as they are edited for time, and unfortunately we don't have any kind of sound editing program with us here, but as soon as we do, you'll hear them. Promise.

As for now, I'm waiting for Jeff and Phil to stop working out and get in the shower so we can EAT. We are hungry all the time, and being up for a few hours and drinking hot hotel coffee is not helping. OH and in unrelated band news, if anyone can find a video of BostonDynamics BIGDOG whatever the hell it's called (that's what google is for), check that shit out. It's fucking scary.

peace
