Well, as of 8:00 this morning, The Bull Moose After Party has officially hit the streets. We sent it out with a light jacket and some sandwiches, and it is hopefully fighting crime as we speak.

The fall tour is also officially underway, and you can chart our individual descents into jet-lagged depravity by clicking on the personal news links at the top of this page. We’ve been really bad about keeping them updated in the past, and this time will probably be no different, but we’re at that point in the endless cycle where we honestly think we can change, so humor us and click through from time to time.

Finally, we’re still adding shows to our tour page, so make sure to check that out, especially if you live on the west coast, as we’ve got a long drive up the five and will probably be stopping a few times along the way to stretch our legs and play a show or two.

Cheers,

The Band

Sometimes southern CA wants to be western NY

Well, the fall tour has gotten off to a great little start, just off some of the Empire State’s finer blue highways. (We were, by one account, within an hour’s drive of “America’s asshole” during most our stay.) But upstate New York has been a really nice place to get back into the swing of full-time touring, sort of like a heated birthing pool for the bastard honor student of our new record, and we’re excited to finally have it out of our bellies and hanging out with all you crazy midwives.

Past experience has taught me that it’s way harder than it looks to keep this thing updated, especially when we’re playing in a different town every night, so I’ve set up one of those Mariah Carey audioblog things where I can phone in a message from the road, and within a day or two it will magically turn into a downloadable MP3 that I’ll instantly want to take back.

So stay tuned for that. There should also be some new radio interviews and show recordings surfacing in the coming weeks.

Cheers,

Dave

Sorry, no crotchless

Fun show the other night with Ban Vanai and The Good Flame. The former had some truly headmelting spacerock, and the latter was (and is) the most offensive band in all of Christendom. Performance art of the highest magnitude, and God bless them for doing it, but my attorney has advised me to never actually go on record as endorsing them, so I’m going to have to leave it at that.

Although they are f-ing geniuses. And even though they’re based out of Portland, they’ve somehow managed to get locked in mortal verbal combat with a number of Australians and some of the biggest names in right wing political blogging.

Truly, the most well-hung men in North America.
