We feel rambling and incoherent this morning. We feel giddy and tired and awake. The motorcade will have to go around. We’re a festival. We’re a parade. We are the child bride.
And all the wine is all for you.
Tonight, the El Rey.
We love you–
ps – Our music video is on YouTube now.
pps – The Conan performance is on our MySpace page.
ppps – Innocence acoustic is now up on our MySpace page.
pppps – We are the number 7 rock record on iTunes.

Good morning,
Our debut record is now out.
It’s a heady moment in time for a band: giddy, sort of nervewracking, breathtaking and celebratory. You feel like you’re living in a kind of dream-life. You feel like you are being strapped into a rocket. You think, momentarily, this isn’t happening. But it is. It took two years of work and we are so happy to have it done.
You can buy it in any record store in the U.S. Also at Best Buy. Totally weird, right?
If you’d like to order a copy via mail please follow this Amazon link.
It’s also available on iTunes. It is, in fact, the #9 rock record on iTunes after one day. Unbelievable.
If for some reason you go to a record store and they don’t have our record, will you do us a favor and let us know? We don’t want you to have to go twice.
Thank you all for tuning in to the Conan O’Brien performance. That was great fun. He was very tall.
You can watch it again by going here :

Good morning–
A light rain is falling outside the Days Inn in Eugene, Oregon as we stumble towards the van with our guitars. Two nights prior it was San Francisco and madcap wilding into the night. Before that London. Seems like a lifetime ago from this quiet college town. Such is touring.
Our video for "Sometime Around Midnight" is still in the running at Yahoo music.
You can vote for it here . The word on the street is that it’s very close right now and we of course would love your vote. We’re also honored to be included with the other bands in the contest. Like Mayor Daly used to say: "vote early and vote often.
You can vote as many times as you like (simply refresh the page). To do so, follow this link :

Scroll down to where it says "Users’ Choice" and click on our box to vote (it’s the first one). To watch the video, click on the little TV icon.
In other news, we’d like to announce that we will be playing the NPR show World Cafe in a couple weeks.
