If you guessed that we are playing September 2nd in Mexico City with our friends The Strokes you are a winner.

There was no contest, I think that part was a dream. But the rest of it is true.

“Have you seen that pirate movie yet?”
“Honey, they’re all pirate movies.”

What up, dogg? Hey, we’re playing a couple of shows with the Stones next month in Spain and Portugal. Check it out. Pretty awesome. Yeah. Oh! And we’re playing a show on September 2nd, in a city where we have never played before, in a country we have never played before. Oh, your brain is just spinning, isn’t it? It’s all confirmed, but we are waiting for our hosts to announce it first. But it’s a big ‘un. Funn!!

Oh yeah, and you know what? EMI has let us know that “Have A Kick Ass Summer” is only being released on iTunes in Europe. I don’t know how that works. ::shrug::

Our new single, “Have A Kick Ass Summer”, will be available on iTunes begining July 17th.

Hey, man, what’s up. We wanted to let you know that Europe is awesome, of course, and to let you in on something we have been cooking up for a while. We’re going to be playing a one-off gig in Portland with our friends The Brian Jonestown Massacre, Thursday, September 7th at The Crystal Ballroom. Yeah, I know, awesome. The show is a part of Willamette Week’s Music Fest NW. Wristbands for the three day annual event are thirty-five dollars and can be bought in locally at Jackpot Records, both Music Millennium locations, Ozone 3, 360 Vinyl, and the Willamette Week offices. Or, you can buy your wristband online from at ticketswest.com. Oh god, you have to go! Are you kidding me?

We set sail on the Fourth for Europe. I mean, not sail. That would be ridonkulous. Yeah, we’re pretty sure it’s going to be the best time ever. I mean, how couldn’t it be? Come on.

Have some extra cabbage, because we’re bringing some cool merch stuff.

Oh, and we have a new single dropping. Yeah, should be very, very soon. We’ll let you know. It pretty much dominates.

Uhm, yeah, so if you see us after a gig, stop and say hi.

Later, rockers.

Hey, what’s up? Guys, it’s so nice in Portland right now. Oh, I think it’s time for a cookout on the roof. Call Ray and grab some beers.

Practice is awesome, got a few new ones worked out. Should be a fucking amazing record.

We want to let you know our plans for the summer. Lots of festivals, a couple of club gigs, recording a new record. Yeah, pretty busy. Check out out our SHOWS page to see where we will be.

Hey. What’s going on? We’ve confirmed dates for the Summercase Festival in both Madrid and Barcelona for this July. Check out the info on our SHOWS page. More are on the way, so don’t flip your wig.

Wow, it is so nice here today, guys, you wouldn’t believe it. Reminds us of..spring? Yeah, it’s BBQ time.

And, yeah. Dig this. Time to start thinking about where we’re going to play this summer. We have some plans in the works. A lot of them we can’t tell you about until they are confirmed with the promoters, but we can tell you that we will be at Festival de Terre Neuvas in Bobital, France on July 7th and Solidays Festival in Paris on July 8th. Tickets are already on sale for these dates, so yeah, get out your wallets. More dates will be added this week. As always, be sure to check our SHOWS page for all official word on where we will be playing.

The Morning After Girls are in town, and it was Aimee’s birthday, so we threw the Girls a little dinner party. So great. The Girls will he here for about a week, recording some stuff, having a good time.

Hey, we have a new photo archive running. We’re not quite sure how it’s going to integrate with the rest of the site yet, we’re still working out those issues. But if you want to take a look, maybe sign up and upload some pics of us you took while we were hanging out after some show or anything like that, feel free to sign up and start uploading. Right on.

Hey, what’s going on? We’re busy building again. We’ve decided that The Odditorium was missing a place people could just go and, you know, make-out, so Court decided to put someone in charge of building a make-out room. The job has gone to Travis Grassman, and it’s going to be great. We’ll let you know what it looks like when it’s done.

We also have some new shirts and stuff for you to buy. There’s this awesome long sleeve thermal that we’ve all been digging, and this great “Honey” shirt designed by Steve Birch. Check ’em out on our MERCH page. (Click on the clothing link when you get there.)

Songs are going great. Having a great time. Hope everything is groovy with you.
