We have had a great time these last six weeks on the road, thanks to everyone who has played with us. Thanks to the guys in Ocean who shared the first five shows with us. What an excellent band. Also, thanks to Big Business, Tweakbird, Ghost, Lichens, Thrones, Helen Money, US Christmas, Gift Horse, Caltrop and all the other bands who put on such great shows.

We had to cancel tonight’s show in Asheville with US Christmas due to unforeseen circumstances but we have an instore today at Horizon Records at 4:30. Also, there are two more shows - Chapel Hill at the Nightlight on Wednesday and Thursday at Dude Manch in Richmond.

Finally, and with much excitement, we have a slew of shows to announce with Earthless in the United Kingdom and the EU this July an August. We’ll start our Eurorocking in Milan at the Parklife Festival with our dear friends Arbouretum. Check out our myspace for all the dates. We have shows from London to Paris and all around.
