After hours sweltering in a van that boasts an atmosphere increasingly made up of various unwanted gasses, we arrived in the mediocre yet beautiful town of Modesto and played a solid set at the Guru Lounge. An indian restaurant that feature a gold-railed stage wrapping around the dining room. We shared the bill with the incredibly catchy and beautiful Hot Toddies from Oakland.

A pile of chicken quesadillas and a bottle of brandy later we found ourselves in a strange local watering hole in the middle of nowhere. My memory is foggy but I'm pretty sure somebody screeched the record playing to a halt the moment we entered.

One of the bar patrons offered to put us up in their yard for the night. So we camped out in tents and vans, clutching our sleeping bags tightly for fear of being body-snatched.

Day one complete. Recap: The show went well. Three to four fifths of the band fell in love. Ryan received his first lap dance. We're all broke now.

We can't wait to see all of you at the Tractor tomorrow night for our EP release / tour kick-off show! And to our friends on the west coast, we'll be seeing you soon (check the tour dates!)

We're working on this, but in the meantime, let me recommend that you download what I feel is currently the best browser available at www.chromeplus.org - it's an enhanced version of Google's browser, Chrome. It's much faster than other browsers, and it displays this site perfectly!

And if you're on a mac, stick with Safari.. Cheers!

who came out to see us at the block party, we had a blast! Can't wait to see you all again at the Tractor August 18th for our CD release / tour kickoff!
In the mean time we'll be hard at work finishing the EP.. and swimming in lakes.
