July 09 Tour
First off, we're working on a fantastic Chicago show for mid-July. More on that later, in other news, we're going back to Little Rock to play with the side-project of the American Princes called Magic Hassle. This will be Thursday July 9th. We're planning a swing through Austin TX on this trip too. Check back or email us for more infomation!

Thanks to all the people who downloaded our newest single, Hate To See You Smile from the brand new label site by Mental Monkey Records called Secret Mixtape! We were honored to be chosen to launch this site with out newest single, but the music doesn't stop there. Each week Mental Monkey Records will sponsor an exclusive track available for download free for the first week! Then you'll be able to find the tracks available on itunes and rhapsody and other similar sites.

Look for the complete version of the Hate To See You Smile EP (complete with amazing remixes by CFCF, CHANGE!, Panda Riot, Return to Mono) and a Spanish version translated by our drummer José Rodriguez and sung by Paul 'Space-Motown' Heintz. This will officially be an online release exclusive, but we will have some CDr versions available at shows beginning in July.
