]]> holiday parade tickets passports contest Buzznet holidayparadeee 2009-03-19T07:12:00Z http://holidayparadeee.buzznet.com/user/journal/3534431/ So, we flew into NYC last Monday and played a free, "secret" Holiday show, which was nothing short of an amazing experience. <sarcasm> We also did some pretty unusual and refreshing things that we've never done before...like went to Starbucks and H&M a lot </sarcasm>. But for real, we saw the big Christmas tree thing, and the Washington Square monument...which are two things we've always wanted to do.

Story time: I saw a dog owner trying to detach his dog's tongue from a light post because apparently he licked it and it got stuck. The end.

We flew back Wednesday and had a hometown show with Cartel on Friday, in Atlanta. Not to de-value the previous hometown shows we've played, but this one was on a completely different level. The crowd response, and excitement level was seriously off the chart. Plus, we missed our friends in Cartel quite a bit. I know it's cliche to say, but it was a pinnacle night for us and easily one of the best shows we've played in our careers. We'll remember that one for the rest of our lives.

As for the future. well...we'll talk about that very soon. This entry is already three paragraphs longer than planned.

 Happy Holidays. Eat. Drink. Party. Love. Love.

From the freezing cold snowy mountains of Pennsylvania to running into the most famous athlete in the world at a fraternity party, we definitely have alot of good memories from this tour. We have a TON of videos to post, so stay tuned for all of those.
    In general we have been working on a few very big things that hopefully we will be able to announce to you all soon. Keep your fingers crossed, it won't be too much longer. Stay safe and be good. We love you all more than you know.

]]> holiday parade Buzznet holidayparadeee 2008-08-11T19:57:00Z http://holidayparadeee.buzznet.com/user/journal/2793951/ Our good friend Leigh and us will be re-launching our street team, "The Brigade".

*AIM SN:

*Home address:
*What is the closest big city to you? (how many miles away is it? Mapquest it!)

*How long ago did you hear about our music?
*Why do you want to be a part of our street team?

IF YOU ARE AN OLD MEMBER OF THE TEAM, YOU DO NOT NEED TO RE-APPLY! For those of you that don't know what a street team is: it's a team of people who will be helping us promote, in exchange for goodies and cool stuff :)]]> holiday parade Buzznet holidayparadeee 2008-08-03T14:38:00Z http://holidayparadeee.buzznet.com/user/journal/2730051/ Purevolume.com and Myspace.com pages and the feedback has been overwhelmingly positive...so thank you guys for that. In addition to that, we also revealed a brand new myspace design, with new pictures, content, and a slew of other stuff... which is pretty exciting, and I hope you had the chance to check it out. We also reached 3,000,000 plays and 50,000 comments on Myspace... bottoms UP!!

With the recent changes, it should be pretty obvious to most that we are focusing our attention towards new material. We are currently in the planning stages of when and how to release the new music that we've been working on and we will have some very concrete information on that in the not-too-distant future. Songs are written, some things are recorded and it's reaching a point in time where we need to start determining a manner in which to release it all... we're super super super excited. Also, peep our myspace for new tour dates...a slew of others will be added shortly :)

So. Dark Knight was awesome. Eh? Whenever someone famous dies tragically, the general public tends to inflate and exagerrate a lot of the person's career points (which is understandable when paying homage)...however, that was NOT the case with Heath Ledger, as Joker, in the movie. There isn't an ounce of credit he's received for this role that wasn't 100% deserving, in every way. He was absolutely incredible...flawless.

Expect some more updates soon, and thank you guys. For everrrryyythingggg. eeeek!





]]> holiday parade Buzznet holidayparadeee 2008-07-23T14:03:00Z http://holidayparadeee.buzznet.com/user/journal/2223311/ we noticed in our last tour update, people were expressing how much they
love our touring drummer Nick Scalise. let me tell you a little bit
about nick:
Back in the day he used to play in a crazy band named October Fall,
they were on Fueled By Ramen...and they toured with a bunch of crazy
famous people, like the pope and stuff. He likes wearing really short
booty shorts on stage...so short that if you look close enough at his
upper leg area you can probably see some objects flailing around. Also,
he dances better than Sisqo and pounds the skins better than that White
Stripes drummer chick.

also, we would like to say apologize/thank Hellogoodbye for being cool
with us storming the stage during their closing song last night. Forrest
tossed Andy a microphone so i think they were cool with it...but we had
an impulsive urge to jump their encore. also, sorry to the kids in the
front row who we crushed when we dove. GO SPARTANS!

by the way, i saw a little kid eat a piece of masking tape off of our
merch table yesterday. kinda curious to know how that digested and made
it's way out of his body today. good luck kid.
