splodin  like bombs: our new split CD/10" with our brethren from barcelona,  nueva vulcano   has now officially "hit the streets", as they say. it's  an untitled 6 song masterpiece that  david fricke  calls "frighteningly brilliant work  that reflects  almost alien-like perfection".  shucks. we say it rocks but also shows hints of genius. whatever. anyway get it now, here. seems they're already going quickly.

however : this release should in no way be confused with the upcoming release of The Magician, our 5 song EP due out on stiff slack records  in september of this year.

victorious tour of spain : as expected, our tour of spain was nothing short of amazing. 11 shows in 11 days, great shows to boot, delicious cuisine, award-winning tourmates, absolutely crazy geography, 4 on 4  futbol on the beach, wonderfully topless women on the beach, a heartbreaking world cup loss for the spanish team against france, and  shit-tons of cool people rabid for good music.  we are forever in debt to the fine men of nueva vulcano for all their deeds and amazing music. inspiring stuff, indeed. think chavez  with sing-along choruses, in catalan.

cool shows coming up. check em and wreck em.

take it lates. ae. cm. ea.

PS you need this.
