Hope you can spend the final, hazy hours of 2009 with us..
Good afternoon,
We’re somewhere in Idaho at the moment, about to wrap up the final week of our crazy North American tour. It’s been an amazing one so far, filled with lots of jumping, screaming, sweatiness, and boozy nighttime wanderings.. Thanks so much to all those who came out and made this tour such a memorable one. We’ve been having loads of fun in all these cities and enjoyed meeting all of you. It’s been especially nice seeing so many familiar faces speckling the crowds.
Also, our good friends and tour buddies The Henry Clay People and Red Cortez have been putting on some truly inspiring performances at all these shows. If you haven’t seen them yet, make sure you come early to catch them. If you have, you know exactly what we’re talking about..

We’re also extremely happy to announce the upcoming release of an iTunes Bundle which, along with the song “Does This Mean You’re Moving On?” includes our official “Gasoline” music video.
This video was filmed as we rode bicycles all over east and downtown L.A. A few things to look out for in the video include: bike-riding inside the Metro station, a police helicopter, and Steven wiping out on steps..
The “Does This Mean You’re Moving On?” [A/V Bonus Pack] will be available on iTunes beginning November 17th.
Good afternoon,
It’s good to be back in L.A. for a hot second before we take off for Europe tomorrow. Thanks to everyone who braved the ridiculous heat at Lollapalooza on Sunday in Chicago (the hottest of the summer so far, we hear) to come watch us play. It was a memorable experience, to say the least. We had all kinds of fun. Hope you did, too..

good morning–
Wisconsin probably has more to offer than trees and flatlands, dreary mornings of rain slapping against the windshield while we drive these moribund highways — but we wouldn’t know it.
We played Chicago last night (for the first time) and the experience was nothing short of religious. Replete with wailing and stomping, speaking in tongues and false idols. ahem.
Tonight it’s Minneapolis. Then Seattle on Saturday, then we’re playing the Monolith festival in beautiful Denver, Colorado — Red Rocks, no less. Then Anaheim and the Wiltern. We used to talk about such things in hushed tones.
As of Tuesday, our record is available in selected stores on vinyl. We are simply tickled (that’s right, tickled) over it.
We will think of you as we drive these lonely highways. Tonight, for instance,...
