I’ve been waiting for the month of November for quite some time now. For my birthday this year, Bobby surprised me with two tickets to Travis here in San Diego at the House of Blues. Travis is on my Top 5 Favorites of All Time list. The fact that I get to see them with 500 other people blows my mind. I watch DVD’s of these guys performing for 50,000 people in Glasgow!
As if this excitement wasn’t enough, I found out that one of my other Top 5 was coming to LA, Ahtlete. Another band from the UK, these guys just came out with their 3rd incredible record, Beyond the Neighbourhood. It was a beautiful, inspiring and intimate show. Got a chance to chat with Joel a little bit before the show…
Now, this was clearly enough to satiate my wildest dreams for a while. But, just to put the cherry on top, I found out last Saturday that Feist was in town at 4th and B! I quickly got online only to find out that somehow I had missed hearing about the show altogether and it had sold out, day of. Jumped on craigslist and was fortunate enough to find two tickets for face value!! Just as amazing live… 
Well, it’s 8:21am in Seattle, WA. We’re packing up our things and getting ready for the long drive home. Not really looking forward to 24 straight hours in the van. It was kind of weird to only have 3 shows on this run, but they sure were fun. Thanks to all of you who came out to see us at Cal Poly, Roseville and Seattle! It was super fun hanging out and getting to see familiar faces (as well as new ones) again.
I can’t stress enough how much your support means to us. Without you, we would just be four guys playing music. But, with you, we have ears who listen. It’s amazing to experience your love and support wherever we go.
Stay in touch through the holidays. We won’t be playing very much, but will be kicking back in gear in the new year.
Much love.
Well, in a lot of ways, that’s kind of what things feel like right now…
Our record just released yesterday, October 31st, 2007. It’s a huge day for us, because the world finally has access to something that we put a lot of heart and soul into and have been waiting to put out.
On the other hand, it hasn’t been the kind of release that we imagined. It’s a soft release, which means that we aren’t releasing it in stores… yet. It will only be availabe online via our label’s store HERE and on iTunes HERE. However, our label didn’t get the album to iTunes in time, so it looks like you won’t be able to buy it there until Tuesday, November 6th.
We’re really hoping to have distribution come the beginning of next year. We’re attempting a slow build, which basically just means rather than putting all our cards on the table immediately, we let things build over time. And, all of you will play a huge role in that!
So, that’s it for now. We’re super excited about it all, it’s just a crazy time. Thanks for sticking with us and for being excited with us. Thanks to EACH of you for being amazing friends along the way. You’ve pretty much paved the way…
