Stanley, Idaho was amazing. we do know now.

we all just spent the weekend at the Sawtooth Music festival, playing, river rafting, jumping from bridges (with life jackets, don't worry) and looking for big horned sheep because adam saw one sign that warned of their crossing and became enamored of the idea.

sadly we did not see one.

ALSO all ages shows are incredible and we love nothing more than young tykes coming on stage to play percussion for bag of hammers as they did in Salt Lake City.

why are kids so much cooler to talk to than middle aged dudes, i have my theories...

thank you st. louis for being so much better than we expected. not to say we didn't have expectations. but really. sleeper hit of the season.

two more weeks of tour. we are impatient to see what else happens.

best to you, see you soon, we are hopeful.

long time no post and thus no read. sorry for the lag time but i thought it would make you miss us more.

we have been traipsing the country on the coat tails of a band called Rilo Kiley.

thank you to each and every RK band and crew member for your hospitality and generosity.

additional highlights from tour include:

Asheville, Texas, the adventure spoon we found in a box of Frosted Flakes, the additional (much smaller) headlining shows we had in Atlanta and Chapel Hill and air conditioning.

NEXT UP an almost month long headlining tour across the US where we will be morally and musically supported by friends Horsefeather, Tune-Yards, David Schultz and the Skyline, and Pepi Ginsberg. July 19th-August 14th

please let us try and make music for you.

best

thank you to much of the United States and select parts of Canada for your warmth and indulgence. We had a fantastic time and came home with nearly everything we started with. In particular but in no particular order: LA, SF, Seattle, PDX, NYC, LUBBOCK, TX, Austin, Chicago, OKC,SLC,

Thank you to labelmates Xiu Xiu for having us along.

NO thank you to the super 8 of Kearny, Nebraska. YOU are the soil on our sheet.

ALSO thanks but no thanks to the people (disproportionately focused in the midwest) who have senses of humor not palatable to tired travelers.

Example:
Thao (at gas station, speaking to attendant): Hi, can I get 50 dollars on number four?

Attendant: NOPE!! ALL OUT OF GAS!! SORRY!!! (attendant and friend laugh heartily. because in truth they are not out of gas. they are a gas station)

In other news- We are leaving soon for 3 weeks in Europe, and then we will haul it to the Sasquatch Festival in Washington, and then we will haul it to join Rilo Kiley on tour. and then we will have nothing left to haul.

see you soon, we are hopeful.

every day is earth day.
