This is me leaving...

We head to Atlanta tomorrow morning for about a month of hanging out in the studio and making a record. Going to try and post video podcats. Or something like that. See ya later.

And so it is...

Home from tour once again. This was definitely the most bummed I have ever been for a tour to come to an end. We've been out since December 27th with Manchester Orchestra and it has been, by far, the most fun we've ever had on the road with another band. It must happen again. For now we're taking the next few months to write and rehearse and gear up for recording in March/April. We'll be playing later this month with Unwed Sailor at the Cavern in Dallas. Hope to see you there...

Come Home

If you've seen the latest Mastercard commercial where people are embracing each other in the airport, you may have noticed the song featured on it. It's a wonderful song by Findlay Brown. Here's the video for it:

The Militia Group

We have a label now! You can go here to read all about it. We've also made Strangers and a demo of Mirrors available for download on the Myspace. Cheers!

New Lassitude Songs

So I demoed some Lassitude songs with Alex a while back and decided to let them see the light of day, unfinished and full screw-ups as they are. We basically set up a mic and hit "record." You can go to my Myspace to listen. I'll be working on full-instrumentation versions of them next month (piano, organ, lap steel, etc...), which is why I haven't made them downloadable yet. Love...
