we're very happy to show you our video for <i>The Big Idea.</i><br />
it was created by Joe Dixon and his crew of good people.<br />
we were psyched to work with them and couldn't be happier with their creative efforts.<br />
the song was also recently at the end of a episode of californication.<br />
it had that lady who was sayid's gf for a bit from <i>LOST</i>.<br />
we're waiting for the <i>Like You Best</i> 7"'s to arrive in the mail & once we get them we'll ship them to those who have pre-ordered. thank you for your patience!<br />
<br />

well, we've been working hard on new material & a lot of prep work for the EP & LP for early 2013. Instead of just waiting for next year, we figured we'd self release a very limited run of a song we wrote this summer, backed w/ a old tune that didn't make the cut for either of the future releases. This will be a release of 300 copies. We hope to have them for shows starting in December and on Bandcamp.<br />

We recently did a song for <a href="http://balconytv.com/austin" target="_blank">BalconyTV</a> Austin that'll be on our LP. Here it is below.<br />

we're inches away from solidifying details for our debut album for 2013.<br />
we're also writing a ton of new tunes.<br />
from trailer demos to early AM phone recordings, we're busy compiling and collaborating while taking a break from playing shows til our album release.<br />
more on this later in the summer.<br />
