MAY 08, 2008:  Put your hands up for Detroit

We're back! After spending two full months out on the road the band has been back home for a couple of weeks. Some much needed time off reconnecting with friends and family has been great. You can check out Sterr's photos from tour on his myspace page.

Everyone always comes back from tour saying it was "great", but they are always full of ups and downs. We can honestly say that this tour was "AMAZING". Some highlights from the second half of tour included:

Las Vegas, NV
A big shout out has to go out to the Las Vegas Jamband Society and the Las Vegas NOISE Project for throwing one of the funnest and craziest parties! These crazy cats took over the entire The Aruba Hotel & Spa for their monthly party celebrating First Friday. Your hospitality was amazing and thanks for welcoming us on our first time to Las Vegas!

Los Angeles, CA
It was a pleasure and a treat to get to hang out and party with some of our dearest friends out in LA. West Indian Girl and Natives of the New Dawn came out and supported! Big props goes out to Fran, Mark, and Mariqueen from WIG for all their help that night and for one crazy jam session late night.

Arizona
We just LOVED our drive through AZ, can't wait to do that again!

SXSW
Wow, two raging sets, and far too many free drinks/food & bands to remember! The Spin Magazine Party was once again a highlight. Big shout out goes to Quaff for his hospitality, baby sitting, and just being an all around good host! We were once again able to tear up Austin with our good friends 20 Minutes to Park, it's becoming quite the tradition! TEXAS!!!!

St. Pete / Dunedin / Tampa
We might have found our home away from home down south! It all started when we played host to the official Rusted Root after party at Jannus Landing. Then a PACKED show at Dunedin Brewery. To all our old friends and especially our new friends, we'll see you guys in September!

Miami FL
Who thought that a daytime gig on a Sunday in a shopping mall could be so fun? Well, you put on short shorts and a tank top and there you go...FUN!

Auburn, AL
Once again Katina...Thank you! Every time we come through Auburn you put up with us and let us crash at your place. The show was a rager and featured a crazy impromptu encore that featured "Billy Jean," "Sweet Child of Mine," and "Under the Bridge;" all songs we've never played before.


Athens, OH
It's been four years since we played in Athens and it was a blast. The Jager soaked shot paddle we have is proof of that!


1: Festival Announcements!!!

When the weather gets hot it only means one thing...FESTIVAL SEASON! It's honestly the best time of the year! Beautiful weather, big raging sets, seeing amazing bands all day, and drinking obscene amounts of beer

With each summer comes new stories and new and exciting festivals that we have the pleasure of performing at. This summer will mark debut's at Wakarusa Music Festival, Comerica Cityfest, Hoxeyville Music Festival, and Dunegrass.

We're also very excited to perform two sets at Summer Camp Music Festival








2: New Website

We just recently launched a new website! The new design is sleeker, easier to navigate, and is a lot easier to update. What you see now is just the start, we'll continue adding things to the site and new and exciting reasons to come back and continue to check it out.
