I wish I had been able to update more from the road. One day maybe we'll have the technical wherewithal to make such feats possible. Suffice it to say, tour went well. Mostly. Nothing but thanks and love goes out to Cloud Mouth for the being the best dudes to share a van with and get to see perform for two weeks.

I was impressed and delighted by turnouts nightly. It's reassuring and encouraging to visit so many far away cities and see so many people come out every single show.

We were nearly entirely wiped out of all merch we had to our name. Also terribly encouraging, terribly flattering. We'll be working on getting more together but bear with us if we see you soon and are out of something.

Some quick highlights:
-Getting to watch Former Thieves not once but twice throughout tour. That band is sick and if you don't know about them already, you'll undoubtedly be hearing much more very soon.
-Cougar Den, you best believe. Always, ALWAYS good.
-Recording Mana Burn with Chris French. Song sounds rad if I do say so.
-New Year's. Best I've ever had. Shout-outs to Hannah, Megan, and Katie for the New Year's bubbly heist.
-Multiple stops throughout Texas for margaritas with fun-loving Zonk Wonkbonk.
-Texas in general. They've got palm trees by the coast and sell beer in fast-food restaurants.
-Reuniting with our brothers Lawrence, Wes, and Guillermo.
-Little Rock, Arkansas: bloody fucking mess. Only night ever our sensibilities have been so jarred we had to get a hotel. Wreak Havoc! still rules and at least live up to their name, so to speak.
-New Orleans: I made it there before I died. Really would like to actually get to tour the city sometime though.
-Dolcim. That band fucking owns.
-Any night we got to play with Native and La Dispute. Geezohpete those guys make a show fun.

Aside from all the good, it is unfortunate to have to announce that the end of this past tour was marked by the decision for Brok to depart from our band. It's been discussed more fully already on our myspace page so I won't go into it much. We played our last show with Brok this weekend in Traverse City. The Reptilian will remain Jon, Dan, and Russ from now until the end. Jon will be taking over on bass and we will be undergoing a major overhaul.
