this week...

Hi all. Hope you and yours are well. Just wanted to let you know that we've had to cancel at least this next week of shows. Our first priority will always be family, and that's where our heads and hearts are now. We really appreciate your understanding.

So, Oakland, Portland, Seattle, Boise, and Salt Lake City - we promise we'll make it up to you next time around. As for this time, we're still trying to figure out when and where we'll resume. We'll let you know soon. Sorry, and thanks again.

best,
the dudes

TODAY

Is the day. It's like Christmas, the 4th of July, and Veteran's Day all rolled up into one rad Superday. Because not only is it our own Jared's hallowed birthday, it's also the day our second album - called 2, natch - hits the ground running.

Today's been a long time coming for us. We started the process last January, and finished recording in December. And now it's August. That's a long time. But what that means is that we made sure we did every little thing the right way, and gave every nook + cranny the attention it deserved. And not to sound too gloatsome and all, but we're really proud of it. After all, we'd better be, eh? So go forth to thine local record emporium and pick up a copy or (ahem) 2. Which, point is, you can do as of right now. You can tell us what you think too (2), with the fear of only mild repercussions.

Thank you friends...
