For those that stop by our Myspace or Facebook pages from time to time, you may have noticed some upcoming tour dates and cities have been posted recently. We’ll be jumping in the van and hitting the road here in a couple of weeks for a West Coast tour from Seattle to San Diego, and we just got final word on most of the dates and locations from the lovely gents at Pet Marmoset. We thought it wise to post the updated tour dates here on the blog…just in case you were wondering…

Some of the times may change (ever so slightly) as the dates draw closer, so if you live on the West Coast and are planning on coming out to one of the shows, please call ahead and find out from the venue what time the shows start – (see venue links above for more info). For the specific show locations on college campuses, your guess is as good as ours : )  We’ll post any additional info we get on the college shows…and for the folks in Seattle and Eugene, don’t forget we’ll be in town this weekend (Seattle on Friday, April 3rd and Eugene on Saturday, April 4th)…

We’re looking forward to the tour and we hope to see some of you this month!

It’s a long way to LA, but we’re driving it anyway tomorrow morning…we’re headed down to the City of Angels for a long weekend to take part in the NACA conference, where we’ll start work on our spring touring schedule. It’s gonna be a very busy spring – we’re planning a West Coast tour as well as a trip to New England and a tour of the Northeast, all surrounding the release of our next full length album. The next month or so will probably look like the calm before the storm on the surface, but we’ll be keeping busy in the studio for much of the winter as we work to finish the new record.  

As promised, I’ll keep posting new demos on the blog every so often so you guys can hear what we’re working on. I’m hoping to have more new music to share next week or the week after. In the meantime, have a great rest of this week and weekend…and if you’re in the LA area, maybe we’ll see you this weekend – you know, with LA being such a small town and all…
