It’s incredible to be back in L.A. after being away from home for so long. We’re happy to be sleeping in beds that aren’t speeding along the highway and doing normal things again, like hanging clothes in closets and eating lunch. Thanks to everyone who came out to our shows these past two months, and to our fans in the U.K. and Ireland who made London, Birmingham, Bristol, Glasgow, Dublin, Manchester, and Oxford the perfect, chaos-driven, booze-fueled end to the tour.

Of course, we’re not quite done with the year yet. We’ve been hard at work, planning and prepping our show at Walt Disney Concert Hall, which goes off this Friday, December 4th. We look forward to seeing all of you, and we promise there will be plenty of guests and surprises…

We’re also putting together a special DVD package of the show that will include a “behind the scenes” documentary. We’ll let you more about this…

Loveline Tonight We’ll be guests on Loveline tonight with the endlessly knowledgeable Dr. Drew. Hope you can tune in and listen to us give questionable advice to impressionable teenagers.

We miss you, we love you, we’re loopy from spending so many days in one place..

Bikes. Cops. A tour of L.A.’s East Side.. Check it out on YouTube.

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..

NEW YEAR’S EVE IN CHICAGO:

“MOVING ON” SINGLE/”GASOLINE” VIDEO BUNDLE AVAILABLE ON ITUNES NOVEMBER 17:

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.

Special thanks to L.A.’s own Midnight Riddaz and the hundred or so bike riders who showed up for our nighttime bike ride/video shoot through Silver Lake and Echo Park. The whole night was one of those unique experiences we’ll never forget..

Now, we’re meeting at the Pioneer Chicken at 1321 Echo Park Ave., just above Sunset. (Click on the address to see a map.)

We’d love for you to come join us. Here’s all the info (again):

where: Meet at the Pioneer Chicken on Echo Park Ave. just north of Sunset. (1321 Echo Park Ave.)

what: a late-night bike ride around Silver Lake, Glendale and Los Feliz. The 7-mile ride will be filmed at different points for a music video that promotes bicycle culture. The song for which the video is intended is called “Gasoline.” Yep.

Spoke cards for everyone who participates. CDs for the first lot to arrive on bicycles. Drinks after.

Bring water and lights for you/your bike (feel free to get creative with your lights!).

– Also, we’re happy to announce that we’ll be playing a show with Franz? Ferdi?nand at the Orphe?um Theat?re in Bosto?n on Satur?day,? Decem?ber 6th. We’?ll let ...
