Be sure to come out to the LA Zoo's first "Local Scene Night" which is Friday August 6th. We are playing and our friends Voxhaul Broadcast and Happy Hollows are playing as well. See some tigers, drink wine and enjoy rock n' roll in a unique setting.

TROUBADOUR SHOW NEXT WEDNESDAY JULY 21ST

We are playing at The Troubadour next Wednesday, July 21st. We play first; our set time is 8:30 so get there early.

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.
