Mid-tour update

We're two weeks in and here's a quick update about what's been going on: Tour started off with a bang. The kickoff show at the Strutt was a blowout and a perfect way to begin a solid trip. Afterward we visited friends in Bloomington and St. Louis, had a great time, and then set off for uncharted territory. Our ventures into the West and Southwest proved defeating with long drives and some less than encouraging incidents in new places. Not to say it was all negative, and we thank everyone who we made friends with and helped us out along the way, but tensions ran high and the future outlook turned occasionally bleak. After a recharge in the Fort Worth/Dallas area of Texas with family members we so infrequently get to see, things began to look up. As of Austin we have had nothing but solid, revitalizing shows - a couple to remind a person why you took an entire month off of work at your stupid, sandwich-making job to begin with.

We're in Florida kicking it with our boys in Antarctic. They are showing us nothing but a great time. We swam in the ocean today, sneaked into something like our fourth or fifth pool of tour, and are now being treated to a St. Augustine grill fiesta, complete with plentiful beers and a dope porch to enjoy.

That's what I can think of for now! More to come as soon as motivationally possible.

Michigan to Michigan - by way of America

This is it. The tour kickoff show was tonight and it was a blast. Big thanks to everyone who came out and everyone who partied afterward. I am truly thankful for all the friends I got to see tonight before leaving for the next month. We'll try to update from the road. To those at home, see you 30 days from now. To those along the road, see you soon.

We've never posted pictures before! This is exciting! These are pictures of us recording with Chris French (from Chris French and the Joie de Vivres).



Dan finally became a man.


Russ did not.



Chris was fucking pissed the whole time.



This isn't us recording but it's proof that we never liked Brok anyways.


We're super stoked to have the new stuff out for all of you to hear (soooon!). We MIGHT have some stuff up later today. Only if we get to 35,000 friends on myspace by the end of the day, that is.

Recording

We're in the middle of our third and final day of recording. Jon and Dan are taking care of vocals while I kick back and enjoy doing nothing. Chris French (of the Joie De Vivres) is doing a great job with the recordings and I'm already more proud of what we've done here than anything else we've committed to record. Expect some unmastered versions of a couple songs to be online soon.

Clash of the Titans sucked. Don't go see it.



Swimmingly,
Russ

Next weekend

We've been busting our butts in the last few weeks practicing and writing songs. We're ready to play some shows this next weekend. What is unfortunate both for us and everyone else involved is Charles the Osprey will no longer be joining us. Regardless, hope to see you in Grand Rapids or Chicago.
