Lots of shows, lots of stuff and an EP that's almost always done. It's coming, though. That's what she said.<br />Paul and David just bought new homes, not together, however that would've been cute. Jared got a new job and a new guitar. Tom has taken a vested interest in humidity and is considering changing his last name to Rayo. <br />We've got a couple festivals lined up for the summer into the fall, but right now we're focusing on new material and maybe some new haircuts. What's that? You want to see pictures? Me too. Me too. All in due time. Until then keep an eye to the ground for this Chuck Norris of an EP, Delta Force style.

We met a lot of great people and saw some really talented bands. We hope we're fortunate enough to get invited back next year. If you're anywhere in the northeast you should consider coming out. <br /><br />In other news...This Saturday David will be performing at the Mercy College sponsored Discovered Competition. The show starts at 3pm and you can buy tickets <a href="http://discovered.ticketleap.com/live-finale/ ">HERE</a>. If chosen we'll win a 3 song demo and hopefully those cool cats at Discovered will want to keep us around for a little bit. They have their own label..so we're excited.<br /><br />Later on in the evening we'll be sharing the stage with American Pinup at Barney McNabb's in Yonkers, NY. It's our first local show in a while, so we're super excited.
