Also on the bill for the evening is a DJ set by Mark Ronson and performances by the Virgins and the Drums.

Hope you can spend the final, hazy hours of 2009 with us..

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..

“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..
