Long time no talk!

Long time no talk. Where the hell have you guys been? I call and call and you just never pick up.

Seriously, though—I’m finally back after tearing through Europe with the World/Infernos and I’m already gearing up to head back out with those whackjobs for a West Coast swing, Hallowmas festivities, and FunFunFun Fest in Austin, TX. And I know, I’ve told you this before but this time—I promise; I’ve changed (if this is starting to cause flashbacks of the last conversation you had with an ex—I apologize for any undue trauma). December and January, we will play shows. I don’t care if I have to drag a piano onto a street corner and play till I get arrested, this is happening. And YOU (yes, you) should be excited about that. Because we are—all of us—excited about seeing you, excited about entertaining you, excited about making you laugh, making you weep, making you dance, making you sing along, making you stand-in-the-back-of-some-dark-bar-with-a-too-tight-cardigan-and-black-thick-rimmed-glasses-with-yr-arms-folded-across-yr-chest-as-you-ironically-and-detachedly-judge-us-because-yr-too-cool-to-have-fun-and-too-lame-to-have-yr-own-band-(-or-have-a-good-band-at-least-)—. I (Matthew) am planning on having the band ready to throw some new material at you during these shows as well and we’re hoping to play throughout the Philly area and MAYBE, just maybe Gomorrah, I mean, New York City and Baltimore (because I read Role Models by John Waters on tour and outside of the vaguely creepy chapter on the Manson Family, it made me want to hang out in Baltimore).

In business news, beyond the Euro zone’s mounting debt crisis and American capitalism’s scorpion-in-the-desert-driven-made-by-the-heat-&-stinging-itself-to-death thing, you can now purchase our record, Emotional Alchemy on CD Baby & at Turtle Studio’s Bandcamp and will soon be able to access it on iTunes, Amazon, Spotify, last.fm and other places with an ontologically digital constitution. Stay tuned for that, I will probably append a brief (I swear) note to the news section in order to alert you, my favorite feckless consumers, to the big (that is, wholly predictable) news. [EDIT: it is now available on aforementioned websites! Post reviews if you love me!] About damned time, eh?

Stay tuned for this and details about shows. I swear—everything will be different this time.

P. S. — The next record is almost completely written. Isn’t that crazy?
