Tour is great so far - thanks to everyone who came out in NY and Northampton...especially the guy in the full bunny suit at Bowery Ballroom (no joke).

Just wanted to share a trippy web cam interview Peter did for Current TV:

...and some live radio goodness on NY's NPR station WNYC. We did an interview and played "Hallie" and "Friends Like These" on Soundcheck. We had some technical difficulties, but fun nonetheless or funtheless as we say. Scroll to the bottom of this page to listen:

NEW SITE.

Beyond imeem, we have a new website built by our friend Rob Young. Now in an appealing beige timbre, featuring our new friend, the color cyan - http://www.mobiusband.com. We've also caught up with the 2007s in time for 2008 and will be blogging more so stay tuned.

NEW PHOTOS.

On tour I tend to hide behind a camera, and now you can gawk at the fruits of my antisocial behavior!
Please note the jumprope - all a part of Mobius Band's fitness regime leading up to the New York City Marathon. Baby steps, people.

OLDIE BUT GOODIE.

Why not take a listen to Mobius Band back when we lived in a 1970's shag-carpeted house of dreams in Shutesbury, MA. "Snow on Snow", from our early EP "Three", for your downloadable pleasure.

I haven't heard this song in years. You know what it reminds me of? Musty, humid bathrooms.
For some reason we set the vocal mic up in the bathroom. No one could get the falsetto vocal part right - we all tried. We did it over and over again in that damp downstairs bathroom. If I can say anything about life since making this EP, it's that it has been spent in significantly airier bathrooms.
