ENDLESS SUMMER

Whew! It has been a super fun hot sweaty beautiful endless summer, and we are so glad we decided to stay at home here in Austin, drinking (water) and playing (music.)

This week we have two great shows lined up: Tuesday 8/30 at Scoot Inn for The Whiskey Shivers' CD release. You should check out the video for their new single. It's pretty creepy! Come at 9pm; we play at 10!

On Saturday 9/3 come to The Parish for a WHOLE DAY OF MUSIC benefitting $2 Shows. The festival starts at 1pm, but be sure to save your energy because we play at 8:45!

See you toms!

Johnnie Cochran

DONT LET IT HAPPEN TWICE!


My Johnnie killed
His brainwaves stilled-
Silenced in the night

A verse sewn shut by the ring of a bell
It's done, it's finished

After 20 hours on the road, we arrived back in Austin with nourished hearts and weary bodies... 2 more bodies than before, actually; We kidnapped Page and Zach to come swim in our pool and play some Settlers of Catan.

Our 3 shows in North Carolina were wonderful. We feel very loved.
