RECORDIN'

Greet-angs,

We've been all shacked up @ The Gradwell House in the Haddon area for most of the past month. When we aren't recording, our nights are usually filled with rehearsing the new jams or taking nightly trips to Starbucks for coffee, smoke breaks, and tea(or because Joe has a giant crush on the staff). Anyhow, back to the EP. EP number two (not the title, just a fact (jack)). The drums are all complete. They sound great, mainly because I am a great drummer and because Steve is great at recording drums. Seriously, mostly because of me though. A bunch of the guitars are done. The string section is doing a fine job (ESP DUSTIN). Joe took a bunch of pictures at the studio last night for his photography class. We'll probably post a whole bunch on here when the film gets developed (who uses film cameras anymore?). One of these nights, I'd like to get a video of Steve and Carmen slapping each other. It's really great. We've eaten Chinese for the past two nights...our stomachs are barely hangin' in. Yiiiiiiiiikes.


Signed, sealed, and delivered.

Tour was so much more than we could have expected, the reception we received was amazing, and the shows were some of the best we have ever played. Thanks to all the people who purchased our records, listened to our set, bought a shirt, or even just talked to one of us at the show. We met some great people in some really cool bands along the way and saw a ton of old friends.

Just to update, Neil broke his wrist and had to have surgery, he has a screw in there and is recovering now, but we won't be able to do anything live until late fall/winter. However, we are going into the studio this week to begin some work on an EP that we are going to release later this year. We will be recording with Steve and Dave of Up Up Down Down at their studio, the Gradwell House. UUDD actually played their final show last night and we all were lucky enough to be there, those guys have been such a huge influences and mentors to us throughout our time as a band, its sad to see UUDD over, but i'm sure whatever they do next will be great.

Also, for any of you that don't know, joe has a little thing on the side, Miracle 1993, for which he recorded an amazing version "Autumn Eyes", a song from our best friends in The Fifteenth. The song is great, and its available for download free if you go to the myspace which is: http://www.myspace.com/miraclenineteen93

Go download that song, show it to all your friends and get excited for our new EP!

So many things have gone on since we last wrote on this thing!

We had a great time Bloomington, IN. Thank you so much to Erica for having us, the laundry room was great, the bagels were great, the naps were great, we will be back soon for sure! Also we can't forget our new friends we made in Stereo Deluxe, and of course Cassie who was nice enough to drive all the way from Chicago to give Joe and I free haircuts!

A few nights ago in Nashville we also had a chance to see a good friend in Jeff Miller. He always plays amazing and has become one of our closest friends we have ever made through this band. We walked around downtown Nashville which was great, saw plenty of Elvis and Johnny Cash, and ate these weird sandwiches that had cole slaw all over them. 

After that we immediately headed to Orlando where we have our home base set up for the next few nights we're in Florida. We ran around Disney on Monday with our friend Danny, went on every good ride in 4 different parks, which took all night. It was tiring but very well worth it. 

Last night we played in Jacksonville at Jack Rabbits, which was a good time. We made some new friends in The Kung Fu Girlz and the Arteffects. Also, thanks to Amanda and Caitlin for coming out and hanging with us! I have some pictures of the past few days posted below, everything has been great so far.

We have 5 shows left on this tour, starting with Ocala tonight, woohoooo

FACKIN SWAYYYTTT

Played shamokin, chicago, iowa and rockford so far.

They all got great things goin on.  Iowa nearly swallowed our van in a flood, but were high and dry in indiana with a close friend!

So far everyone but the gas pumps have been friendly to us..

Big ups to DICE!

We've been craaaaazy busy lately and haven't had time to do any blog posts! Right now were driving through a state emergency in Iowa trying to find a way back into Illinois so I have some time to give some updates on the band. The tour so far has been awesome aside from the crazy storms we've run into here in Iowa and some annoying van problems. We made some new friends playing in Chicago, two bands called Tokyo and The House Floor, we will be playing with them this July in New Jersey which should be a great show. Also another exciting announcement for the band is that we will be working with Chuck Daley and Beartrap PR, we are all so ecstatic to have a person on board like Chuck to help us. You can check out Beartrap and the other amazing bands they work with at www.beartrappr.com

Anyway, this flooding is insane, water levels are rising so high that they are flooding huge bridges. We took a few pictures while we were stopped, which I will post as soon as I can get to a computer and off this stupid phone. Rockford tomorrow, come visit us
