It’s cold! We are playing concerts still!

We’re spending the next couple of months in a sort of “hibernation” – it seems already like we’ve been at home lazing about for YEARS, even though we got home from tour… two weeks ago? And we’re not exactly lazing – we’re writing songs for our next album! We’ve found a DRUMMER for this album (what??!)! And we’re playing a few shows up here in the Pacific Northwest. Here’s the latest:

• Friday, February 22! Portland! Are you ready to Nerd Rock? Kirby Krackle (nerd rock, Seattle) and Klopfenpop (nerdcore rap) – and us – are going to make nerd-dom happen in all sorts of genres. Backspace, $5 at the door, Music starts at 8. RSVP on Facebook.

Alright! We aren’t even back in Portland from ChristmasFamilyTimes – but it’s time to tell you that we hit the road this Saturday for a 9-or-something-date tour of the West Coast! There’s a picture there to the right – but since we made that we’ve added a house show in San Francisco AND a special guest to our LA show…. the one and only Mike Phirman!

A lot of these are house shows, and the LA one requires a reservation, so if you want to come, now’s a great time to hop over to the tour page to find the details of your local show and RSVP as necessary! See you all soon!

Wherever you are, you can follow us on tour by watching our daily video blogs from the road!

(If you don’t live on the west coast, as always… tell us where to go! We’ve started routing our summer tour… and now’s the perfect time to add your hometown to the map.)

1. We accidentally made a Holiday EP. It’s got 5 new, original songs by us. You can pre-order it digitally now, and we sold out of physical copies (for now) – but there may be more Real Disks for sale on Sunday. How this came about is a story we should really tell you sometime.

2. We’re playing at the Dammit Liz Holiday Show in Seattle on Saturday! It will be a night of comedy, music, collaborations, and festivity. There are still tickets available! We’ll also be “guest writing” and performing on an upcoming Portland taping of the Live Wire! Radio show, which you should *definitely* attend, if you can!

3. We will be appearing in a Ragnarok-themed streaming concert and video experiment with Molly Lewis during the end of the world (Dec. 21, 7pm-ish Pacific, 10pm-ish Eastern.) You can RSVP on Facebook for that, or just show up at Molly Lewis’ YouTube channel that evening. Perhaps we will survive the end of the world together…. perhaps. (wink)

4. We are working on a West Coast tour with Molly for January! Places we will definitely be: Los Angeles, Oakland, Palo Alto, San Diego, Portland, Seattle, Sacramento. Get all the details now!

5. We love you!
