Videothing thing...

When we were in LA a couple of months ago playing at the great venue "the smell" videothing filmed this. It's pretty neat!

today's the day!

hello all,

i woke up way too early today, sort of like you would being a kid and knowing that you were waking up to your your birthday. well, today is the day our second record is finally out and i feel sort of excited in that same birthday way.
soon i'm going to run to amoeba here in san francisco to see if the record really exists. finally hold a copy. possibly buy one.

i've done some google-ing and found a whole bunch of nice words about the album. had i known it would be this smooth it might not have taken us three years to make a sequel...

love,
josephine

oh, and this guy really can't stand us:
"This is annoying, generic, insipid "rock music" at its worst. To call this band incredibly annoying would be an understatement. They're an earsore."

Swedish radio!

This will be in swedish since the radio program I'm talking about is in swedish...

Nästa vecka ska vi vara med i P3 pop. Vi pratar en massa strunt & spelar upp några låtar från skivan. Det kommer bli sköj!

Så alltså nästa måndag (10 november) 22.00-24.00 på P3. Vilken tid exakt vet jag inte...

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!
