Hi Friends
That’s right, we’re hitting the road with our friends the Brian Jonestown Massacre across the US midwest, Toronto, and Montreal. We’re also going to be heading out on our first national tour (well, as far as Winnipeg). Stay tuned to our shows page for up-to-date info. Also, we’re going to be releasing a digital EP in late May to coincide with the tour. The EP will include 5or6 new songs and a video for “I Am Blind”. Good times are ahead!
all our love,

Hi friends,
Happy new year! Our first show of 2010 will be in front of a live studio audience at the Segal Center for CBC Radio 2’s Routes Montreal. The show will feature guest musicians Monica Guenter (viola) and Shawn Mativetsky (tabla). It all gets started at 7:30 and will set you back $10. We’ll be trying out a new track that will be released on our upcoming EP (summertime)
For more information check out the Routes Montreal site.

You can download The Seven Seas from the good people at Indiecater Records based in Dublin, Ireland. According to their website “we only put out an album if it’s something that we’d buy ourselves.” I guess they like the album:)
