Hey you! Long time no see. We hope you're having a good winter. Our winter has been focused on less talk and more rock. We've got a bunch of new rock, a full album's worth actually. We are going in to the studio to record our third LP. We're really excited for all of you to hear what we've been working on for all this time.
On the eve of entering the studio, Sunday, March 21, we're going to be playing a rock show at the 7th St. Entry with our good friends Vampire Hands and Minneapolis Dub Ensemble. We're gonna need to get the kinks out and have some fun playing new songs and old. It's going to be a rocking good time.

Tickets for the show are on sale now through all First Avenue outlets.

See ya soon,
