Sunset Junction Party at Malo
Thanks to everyone that came out to our Silverlake Lounge show last night. We appreciate you braving the heat and humidity to soak in our heavy space rock vibe. I imagined I was on Planet Mercury most of the set, it was the only way to enjoy the sweltering environment. We have more shows coming up this weekend: Saturday our residency at Casey's Downtown continues with Twinfight on the bill as well, Sunday we play a Sunset Junction party at Malo in Silverlake (set time is 8pm) and next Monday we are heading to San Diego for a show at the Casbah with Young the Giant. The Useless Keys spaceship keeps gliding along, see you this weekend....

Silverlake Lounge with Twilight Sleep THIS MONDAY
We're playing a free show next Monday at the Silverlake Lounge for Twilight Sleep's August Residency there. Our set time is 10pm. Show is free. We'll be playing some new material. We've booked a number of shows in August including San Diego and Phoenix dates and our own residency on Saturdays in August at Casey's Bar in downtown LA. Check out our myspace page for more dates and info.
In other thoughts, I've been thinking a lot lately about how we as human beings have evolved directly from Earth. I was laying in bed, breathing the other day and as I noticed my chest rise and fall with each breath, I thought about how much our respiratory and circulatory systems and sleep patterns have in common with Earth. Ice caps melt and freeze and melt and freeze with each passing summer and winter. Waves form, crash ashore and recede back into the ocean and repeat. We breathe in and breathe out, breathe in, breathe out while our heart pumps blood through our body much the same as the currents of the ocean have a natural flow or the mantle underneath the earth's crust flows. We plan our whole lives around Earth's 24 hour rotation, adhering to a daily routine of going to sleep at a particular time in Earth's daily rotation and waking at another specific time in the rotation. I've heard arguments that we as humans may be Earth's attempt to reproduce other Earth-like planets; we are suppose to spread to Mars, build an atmosphere, colonize, build a brother/sister to Earth. Anyways, if depression is a feeling of estrangement from humanity or a feeling of disconnect from others and/or the universe, it's healthy to think about things like this, how much we are connected to Earth. We're just a very small piece in a very large process. It should make us less lonely, right? DEEEEEEP THOUGHTS....:) Silverlake Lounge, Monday, FREE.

JULY LA SHOWS/KAMIKAZE 7"
It's mid-July and still only 70 degrees in Los Angeles; this place is awesome and worth the extra couple hundred a month on rent.
We booked two LA shows for July; we're playing at The Echo on July 12th at midnight and we're opening for Gram Rabbit at The Troubadour on July 21st. We're also getting our late summer/early fall schedule in line and we've already booked shows in Phoenix (8/30 at The Rhythm Room) and San Diego (8/23 at The Casbah), we're working on making another trip up the West Coast in the next couple months as well.
Last week we mastered a new track entitled "Kamikaze" which will be released in the fall on a 7" along with "White Noise". We'll notify you here of the release date as soon as we get it. Currently working on new songs for our forthcoming debut album, breaking in our new bass player, Davin Givhan, and saving our dollar bills for recording.
Thanks to everyone that came out to the APTBS show. There's some videos on youtube from the show. Below is a new song "Sea Bells" along with the UK classic "White Noise". Enjoy, take care of yourselves and we'll see you soon.
