i thought some band had just stolen your sound and image, fucking lawsuit waiting to happen. turns out i am just an idiot.

Just wanted to let you know we are coming to Concord this Friday at Time Out, 1822 Grant St. We will be hitting the stage at 11PM. It is our first gig in 6 months since our LA House of Blues show. We will be debuting some new tunes so try and make it out if you can. In the meantime check out our new video blog and let us know what you think:
see, in school we were the loners; the rebels. but now we're just analog kids in a digital world, lost and confused. myspace 'acceptance' gives us the appropriate digital 'pep' to keep going on.
be sure to post more bulletins closer to the date so i can come :)
