Hey, all. Our apologies for the lack of news lately. We’ve been busy getting ready to miss the best weather Florida has all year. We thought it would be wise to exchange sunny and 70 for assed-out Euro-fall, which will consist mostly, not entirely, of rain, snow, clouds, and pasty people. Despite the weather, we are wicked stoked to get overseas and bring a nice double-dose of awesome to you guys, courtesy of us, and the magnificent Samiam. The tour dates are posted, so if you’re from abroad, check and see if we’re coming near you. A belated thank you is due to be extended from us to the beautiful Lawrence Arms for bringing us along on their tour. We love you guys very much. We also love Bullets to Broadway and we have a slight fear, tinged with love, of The Blackout Pact. So, the album is out, a lot of you have purchased it, and for that we thank you all. Var swears that the LP will be out soon, as in this week. I’m waiting, too. Some good news for those of you who would like to catch us live stateside—we’re headlining the east coast in November and December. Coming along for the ride on will be Planes Mistaken for Stars and Fifth Hour Hero. Both bands have seriously killer new records out and are rad folks, so we’re enamored to have them along. Not all of the dates are confirmed yet, but here’s what we do have: 11/30/06 NYC, NY The Knitting Factory w/ Planes Mistaken For Stars, Fifth Hour Hero 12/1/06 Asbury Park, NJ Asbury Lanes w/ Planes Mistaken For Stars 12/3/06 Cambridge, MA The Middle East (Upstairs) w/ Planes Mistaken For Stars, Fifth Hour Hero 12/6/06 Baltimore, MD The Ottobar w/ Planes Mistaken For Stars 12/7/06 The Peppermint Beach Club w/ Planes Mistaken For Stars, Fifth Hour Hero We’re hitting more places, obviously. So, don’t sweat it if you live in say, Philly. We’ll be there. After that fun little trek, we’re chilling at home for a bit and get plowed on eggnog. Then, we head back out west with AVAIL!!! The dates will be forthcoming for that run and man, are we excited about that one! That about wraps it up for now, everyone. Thanks again for coming out and supporting and for picking up the album. Peace Black PS—Have fun for us on Halloween. We’re going to be in Geneva playing with Swiss army knives and chocolate or something lame like that.
