HOLIDAY PARADE

so, we've finished tracking our new acoustic EP, "To You. From Us", and
it will be released on March 25th through iTunes, our shows, and our
online store... we're STOKED.

also, holy effing crap... "The Foundry" in Joplin, MO is the best venue
in the country, hands down. We played there last night, for the second
time, for the opening night of our short tour with Forever The Sickest
Kids and Powerspace...it was amazing. The venue has a skate park, full
court backetball court, rock climbing wall, 16 Hd Tv's with Xbox 360s
for each one (that's about $5000 worth of xbox 360s"), etc... sooooo
sick. We hope to play there again really soon. You can check out the
rest of the dates on our myspace page.

soooo... we will be releasing an acoustic EP titled "To You. From Us", sometime in mid-late March and we are practically recording it as I type this. Sunday was our first day in the studio and we recorded "Driving Away", it has a super chill feeling and consists of freaking mandolin... mandolins are pretty wonderful. We spent all day arranging the instruments and mapping out the overall direction that we wanted to take the song...we really couldn't be any happier with how it's turning out so far. This weekend, we will be throwing a party at the studio and recording the entire thing, and using bits and pieces of the "party noises/dialogue" in the acoustic version of "My Philosophy"... it should be really interesting and fun to say the least.

Also, thanks to anyone who came to our sold out show with Cartel this past Saturday, February 2nd. I hope you guys enjoyed yourselves as much as we did.
