Happy Body New Year!
Hello, Happy Buddies! It’s already mid-January of 2012 and I’m shocked at how fast this year is moving ahead. I can barely keep up! I feel like Wonka, so much time, so little to do. Wait a minute. Strike that. Reverse it. Thanks.
Anyways, The Velvet Teen New Years Eve extravaganza at Bottom of the Hill was an absolute blast and we really look forward to playing more with those gents in the future. On a similar note, we’ll be back at Bottom of the Hill March 2nd with O’Brother and Junius so mark your calendars. We’ve got tons of big things planned for 2012 including ALBUM #2 (!!!) and a bunch of other new treats so we couldn’t be more excited. Time to get productive! It’s a new year, follow your heart and do something you love, after all, you’ve only got until December! Kidding…

Hello, Peepz of the Interwebz!

Be sure to check out and support our friends in Stomacher, Case In Theory and Twin Suns as well as Culprit and The Paper Melody. All great musicians and people!
