Fuck Signs Always

So we have some bad news...our October tour with Joie De Vivre is no longer going to happen. We have to decided to play a bunch of local shows instead, some of which will be with Joie De Vivre, to help with the release of our new 10 inch, Full Health. It will be released on Count Your Lucky Stars at the beginning of October. Hopefully at all our shows in October we will have Full Health available on vinyl, tape and CD. Fingers crossed! Here is a sneak peak of the cover of the 10 inch. Our good friend Sam Allen painted it for us. We will be updating more soon about the release in the next few weeks.

Home From Tour and Upcoming Tour with Joie De Vivre

So we made it back safe and sound from our summer tour with Victor! Fix the Sun. It was long but we had a blast to say the least. Thanks to everyone who came out and supported us. Also thank you to everyone who has come out to our last couple local shows we played. They have been some of the best Kalamazoo and Grand Rapids shows we've had ever and we helped out a lot of awesome touring bands. Please check out these bands if they come through your town: 1994!, Big Kids, Former Thieves, Native, Snowing and Pansori.

This is what we did all summer:

We went on many tours on this tour:
GHS String Factory in Battle Creek,MI!



Busch Beer Factory in St. Louis!



We got to hang with a ton of awesome people!
Bobby from Canyons!



Adam from Jersey. Nicest guy I have ever met.



And my baby Shiflet!



We did a lot of swimming. In pools...



And off cliffs in to lakes!





Sometimes things got real road hard.



When things got tough, Jeffe got nasty...



And more nasty...





Until he got me to join his nasty crew.



And I got way nasty.



But overall, things were awesome and we got hang with our best friends
Victor! Fix the Sun and watch them melt our faces 32 nights in a row. Even in the smallest of knooks.



Thank you to everyone who gave us a place to play or stay, something to eat or just hung out and was nice to us.

And now people are about to start boxing. This is bad news.

Holy cow

The name of the game here in Greensboro tonight is a down-home Southern style BBQ courtesy of the boys in The Bronzed Chorus. Tour rules. Look to see those dudes up our way in September. Hunter's going to be selling bottles of his own secret family recipe barbecue sauce when they come.

200% Sweater video

A couple weeks before we left for tour we got the chance to play shows with Pianos Become the Teeth while they were in Michigan. Our boy Chad from Pianos shot some video of us doing one of our new songs in Mt. Pleasant. Check it out. Thanks to him and much love to all those guys.

Savannah to North Carolina

We played Savannah, Georgia last night and it was wicked. Seriously, that town is really cool and I can't wait to go back. Everyone at the Pony Pen is top notch. We had a stupid fun time. On top of getting to see our boy, Midwestern ex-pat Cameron "Baby" Shifflet, in Circle Takes the Square's home turf I managed to pick up a never-played copy of As the Roots Undo on vinyl for only five measly bucks. Score.

Got into Greensboro earlier to hang with the dudes in the Bronzed Chorus for our day off. We've been feasting on grilled food, relaxing, and listening to those two make ridiculously intricate music. Rad times.

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.
