Talkin About That Country Shit
Get out the way, pretty Joie coming through!!!! This weekend was an amazing one. Even though our tour with our best friends Joie De Vivre couldn't happen. We salvaged what we could and made an excellent weekend out of it. On Friday, we played the 3rd last show of the Cabana House in South Bend. I don't think we have played anywhere else in South Bend except the Cabana House in the last year. It was sad to see it go but it was a great night. We got see many friends and make a lot of new ones. If you haven't checked out Analecta, William Bonney or Into It. Over It. yet, do yourself a favor and give them a listen. Our friend Dave Summers took some rad pictures:
After our show, we slammed some Del Taco, made our way back to Kalamazoo with Joie De Vivre and rested up for the DAAC. In the morning there was much NBA Jam and wiffle ball to be played.
The DAAC was amazing as always. William Bonney kicked off the night right. It was awesome getting to spend the weekend with those dudes. We go way back with Jack and Michael and their band is amazing. Charles the Osprey followed and melted our faces. Seriously one of the best Michigan bands playing right now. They just put out a 12 inch record on Friction Records. Check it out! Thanks so much to everyone who came out and yelled along, the DAAC is our home away from home. It was awesome to see so many friends. We had to end the night right and our friend Arthur had a little favor to ask Russ. So we did it up as shown here:
BOOM! Chewbacca Mask! After the show we said goodbye the only way we know how...arm wrestling competition. Russ of course won.
Thanks so much to everyone who came out to see us this weekend. We had a blast. Thanks to Joie De Vivre for playing some of my favorite music and being some of the most solid guys I've ever met. Next weekend we are doing a weekend with The New Yorker from Chicago. Grand Rapids on Friday and Kalamazoo at the No Fun House on Saturday. BOOYAH!

Words and Shit
We've been meaning to do this for awhile, so here are the lyrics to Full Health.
Also if anyone is interested, here is the link to purchase Full Health on Itunes:
Full Health on Itunes
Pretty Big Doses:
Those long loud nights spent underground. Watching and singing in the crowd. This may lead to broken bones./Half of you went crawling home with your tails between your legs./Structures. Fractures./Make your way right up to your room and take yourself right out of our lives. Oh god, what a good way to make some life long friends./I won't forget my time spent in this place. These memories make for great stories./Embrace your surroundings.
Dungeons and Dragqueens:
Face it, your memory's been erased by gift registry and table arrangements./ Move along as we move forward. I've lost another good friend./ Face it, she's faceless. Her ink stains erased us./I wish this winter would end. The air has left me frigid and doubtful./ It's not a means to an end./ Now I wear the things I learned on my sleeves. With my sights set straight as we take next steps./ It's not a means to an end. You're half-hearted lack luster. You can't find your own way. Release my friend./You've failed him./Beaten him in./You failed him./Release my friend./You failure./You are decay.
Bulls on Patron:
Lets start the new year right. My clothes are layered thick and they won't leave my back for the next two weeks. But there's one thing that doesn't sit quite right and it lingers like an awkward silence./Listen to your friends. Tell them what you think you oughta know. And if they're your friends, they'll tell you what they've been told./Days have been passing, he doesn't acknowledge. And in his final moments he knows that they follow him home./Bad moons and dirt roads wont get us very far. Does this not feel right? Tensions will rise. Friendships will end. New ones begin. Lets start over.
Peyote Ugly:
Footsteps made heavy trace our way./I don't know where I'd rather be than sitting on this porch with you until the summer goes away.
Roman Sideburns:
Hey feline, watch me do cartwheels through your front lawn. Spend my time in dirt and trees. It clears my mind, helps my breathe. Hey feline, check this out./My shoulder cracks as I wear down this wheel. There is a line for some gratuity. I feel so unaccomplished. I've got what you want so pick up your goddamn phone. There is no way I'm coming back here in this fucking cold./I don't want to waste my time in this whole with you./This youth can last.
200% Sweater
I can't believe I've found my calling. Face up to the sun with my arms stretched through the roof. I can't believe that I've found my calling./Throw your habits in the fire. Days are dead long. I tend to break my own rules from time to time. Put it out./Face down in the sand, I've made a real impact on this town. I've found my calling. All it is is just call and response. Just call and response./My good friends are outside, don't mind them. Try not to wake the neighbors. My parents are gone all weekend. Don't worry about the mess here. We'll clean up when you come back over.
Aerosmith Kids:
No I didn't study but still I had to take the test. Things aren't looking up for me academically. Barricaded in my room hoping that no smoke would go through. Day dream about things I wish I could do. Don't bother me before noon./More of these heavy rock riffs wear out the speakers at my place of employment. I'd rather enjoy my friends riffs in my car where I can get some enjoyment out of my best friend's gifts./Now I'm living for my self. Varsity blues can't bring me down and stop me in my tracks. Don't bring me down./My best friends write the best riffs./ Don't bring me down. We'll stay to the end.

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.
