Taking A Break, Kind of...

So after playing 3 shows 3 weeks in a row we are pretty tired. We played Halloween in San Francisco w/ Big Brother & The Holding Company, The Knitting Factory in Hollywood w/ Scissors For Lefty, and lastly the atrium with Jaguar Love. It was a long 3 weeks and we all were very stoked on how the shows turned out. We have managed to really improve our live performance at the last shows, and we feel as though things are moving along nicely. The show in San Francisco might've been one of the best performances we've ever played. The stage was certainly the largest we've ever played on. The wind was mighty, but we trudged on through. Halloween was a good show. I forgot to tell this story about that show. There was a wonderful Asian woman who came up to us after the show. She seemed so shy, yet she approached us with such amazement and appreciation (she had a bloc party pin, that was so cool). She bought a cd and left by telling us she'd be at another show of ours in San Francisco in the future. I love that kind of stuff. Devotion is golden.
For now we are on a month off break, and we are really happy about it.
Performing gets tiring.
Noah and I got together last night to work on new songs.
They are coming out good.
Edge is key.
And powerful shit.
Shit that makes you feel good and want to ride your bike down a hill to.
We'll be writing a couple new songs and practicing.
Stay tuned.
We'll be back January 3rd to play at the crepe place with SCISSORS FOR LEFTY + DEATH OF A PARTY.
love,
-Jordy

A Lot of Cool Things Just Happened

Last night was amazing.
Cannot believe the outcome of the 2008 election.
Change is Coming.
Besides that some cool stuff is happening for us.
We just played the San Francisco halloween festival.
Mason's dad Craig did a great blog post about that:

The show went well.
We were interviewed for a television program that I'm not sure when it will be aired.
At first there were only like 20+ people watching Big Brother & The Holding Company which made all of us kind of sad. There were like all blues bands before us which was cool too. Met some of the Big Brother and The Holding Company folks. They were awesome. We got a case of free icelandic water, a bunch of food, saw someone running around in a huge hamster ball, and had a great time. The band before us had the lights and power go out which made us nervous and sad for them, but they pulled through it.

Then we took the stage.
The youthful crowd gradually came over to watch us play and out of all the acts that played before us we had the largest crowd (Max. 80 people). The stage was huge and we had all the rad lights shown on us. We played SUPER well and rose to the occasion of having such a huge stage.





It was fun

Also we have two shows coming up in the next two weeks.
one is this Saturday November 8th with Scissors For Lefty, Killola, and Voxhaul Broadcast in Hollywood at the Knitting Factory mainstage. It starts at 8pm (doors) and we go on at 8:30pm.
Come Early.
