We're working hard, finishing up recording vocals and guitars for the new album. We are getting closer every day!
We are also very excited to announce a Midwest Mini-Tour in March with HEAVY DEEDS, easily the best new band in the Twin Cities! Details are still being solidified, but we will be in Chicago March 9, Madison March 10, and Minneapolis March 11th. I'll post details as soon as I have them.
Finally, Neil and Martha are now doing a monthly DJ night at the Turf Club in St. Paul called "Weir(d) Wednesdays." It's the fourth Wednesday of each month, from 9pm- bar close. Each week, Nate Nelson will be manning the crockpot and dishing out his delicious foods, in addition to 2-4-1 rail cocktails from 8-11pm, free entry, and great tunes. Hope to see you there!

We've been somewhat quiet lately, but that's only because we've been very busy writing and rehearsing songs for the next album. We're almost there and are really excited about the new material!
