Hey. We’re having the best time on tour. Thanks all for coming out to see us in Europe. We can’t wait to see everyone in Australia, the States, and Canada. If you have not been able to see us yet, we will be on the Dermot O’Leary show on BBC2 Saturday from 5-7, so you can check us out there. The show also has some prizes for our fans to win, so you may want to check them out there as well. Thanks.
Peter will host The Bottom 40 on Portland’s 94-7 this Sunday night at ten. If you are not within the listening vicinity, you can catch the show online at 947.fm.
Well, first off, how can there be such as thing as a ‘pre-sale’? Either something is for sale or it isn’t. And isn’t it a little elitist to sell something to a certain group of people before another certain group of people? Sounds suspicious to me, by gum. But in a country where equality for all is payed lip service by the powers that be, maybe something like this should not take anyone by surprise.
Uhm.
Check out the dates HERE to see if we are coming close to where you live. The password for the ticket ‘pre-sale’ is ‘Odditorium’. Pretty clever, huh. Now we have to change the passwords on all of our computers here.
Our new record, Odditorium or Warlords of Mars, is now in stores. If you are okay with leaving the house, why don’t you go down to your local cool record store and pick up a copy. If you can’t leave the house, relax. You can get it on iTunes.
Capitol has put together a little sampler for you to hear the songs from our forthcoming record, Odditorium or Warlords of Mars. Check it OUT.
The footage shown with the songs was culled and cobbled together by Sean Gothman for use in a bonus DVD which that for reasons we cannot mention was scrapped by someone in a department called “legal”. (This DVD may end up just being sold straight from us, so doon’t cry because the window is so small, you can watch the whole thing in 5.1 soon.)
It’s not supposed to be 97 in Portland, It’s not, really. You know, we’re really looking forward to fall, though. Oh man, it’s so nice. But it looks like we will be spending the most of October in Europe, as we have finally confirmed our European tour dates. Check it out on our SHOWS page to see where and when.
(Don’t worry, U.S., Canada, and Australia — your dates are coming very soon. Maybe after we shower.)
Hey, how is you your summer treating you? We’re currently stuck inside practicing for our fall tour. (And it’s hotter than two cats fucking in a wool sock. Remember to drink lots of water.) We’re not too sure what the details of our tour is yet, but we will let you know when everything is set in stone.
Some cool radio stations across the U.S. are already playing “Smoke It”, and the response has been tremendous. If you want to hear it, call your local station that plays the cool music and request it. It’s pretty important to us that these stations hear from you. It could really make the difference between playing the song more and reaching even more cool people, allowing us to visit places we have never been. So get on the phones, log onto the websites, and request “Smoke It.”
Oh yeah, and Odditorium or Warlords of Mars will be out September 13. And hey , there will be a bonus disc of video material that has been cooked up especially of the record, with a special 5.1 Surround remix of Warlords.
We’re doing some press in Europe right now — having lots of funn, like we do. We’ll be back in the States for Lollapalooza on July 24th, but if you’re in Chicago on the 23rd, Pete and Fathead will be spinning some records with Anton from Jonestown and a load of other bands you probably know at the Party in the House of Paygosim, at the Double Door. Sadly, the party is invitation only, so if you live in Chicago, you better cozy up to someone at Virgin Mobil to get in. Other than that, we hear bribes of money, sex, or drugs work well with most door people.
