hello everyone,

this is not being updated nearly as often as intended.
but, well... it's sunday afternoon here in sunny and cold gothenburg. i've just finished screen printing some new tote bags for our next tours. some of us are leaving for san francisco on tuesday already. there are at least two good reasons for why we want to get over there so early:
1. our friends from cause co-motion and crystal stilts are playing tuesday night at bottom of the hill and we want to be there.
2. also, we have a feeling tuesday could be the best party of the year if everything goes well in the election.
...and then of course we are really looking forward to spending some time in san francisco again. it's been much too long since we hung out with our friends over there.

it's now only just over a week until our new record is out. pretty exciting.
and the two weeks we've spent at home since our last tour have been spent recording and mixing five new tracks that should be out early next year. one song is about the danger of early mornings, another about all that van trouble we had on our last european tour.

actually i have to go now, need to approve the final changes to the mixes of those mentioned songs.

see some of you very soon.

love,
josephine

European cars hate love is all!


Hi, just a quick update to tell you about our horribly unlucky (but still pretty damn fantastic!) european tour.

Right now we're in Milano in Italy. A couple of minutes ago our rental van broke down right outside the venue so we had to push it into a parking space.

That is our SECOND rental van. We had to rent a new one in Münster, Germany after that one had broken down. And we had to push that van up to enough speed so it would jump over a curb! Wyatt had the time of his life flying that van.

So, the next day we got a new van. And drove to Switzerland. The morning after our second show there in Aarau the new van refused to start. So once again we had to push it to get it going.

In Zürich we finally got the car fixed. Happy and ready for some italian sun we reached Ravenna and had some amazing food and good times. Played on a beach and partied like it was 199999.

And here we are in Milano with car trouble again! Last show of the tour at the awesome venue Rocket.
And once again we're gonna have to speak with the rental company and probably a non-english (or pretty much any other language) -speaking mechanic.

We'll tell you more when (or if) we get home. Show you some pictures and let you in on all the details!

July 7

Hi everybody, this is Ake (that new saxamaphone player) again. I just feel like writing something here since it's been a while since the last post.



Thought I'd start with a brief update. We came back from the states a couple of weeks ago, we had such an amazing time and we'd like to thank everybody who made it so awesome!
All the people who let us stay at their houses and all the great bands we got to play with and, yeah, you know. All you great people out there! Thanks!
Here's some videos I found on youtube from the tour. If you have any more videos or pictures please feel free to email links to us!

Cake Shop:



Market Hotel:



In other news... That little Cover-CDR thing we made for the tour is now available on emusic, where you can also get our new single Wishing Well. Download it here.
And it will soon be available on vinyl. Wishing well is now also available for streaming on our myspace page!

We also have some shows coming in London, Malmö, Hamburg and maybe something more in the beginning of august. More info on that later!

Talk to you soon!
