weird.

just finished playing the last show of this tour, in hattiesburg, ms... don't wanna go home, wanna go home... we've all been running.

blank

this tour is almost over. we're at a hotel in orange, tx. we play hattiesburg, ms tomorrow night, then we'll be driving all night to get home. i think it's safe to say there's mixed emotions for everyone about going home... the part of it all where we have to readjust to normal life is always weird and frustrating, none of us are looking forward to that... there are definitely things we're all looking forward to as well though. should be an interesting period... there's quite a few things on the plate for the near future... here's a rundown.

- we're releasing a short documentary filmed and edited on the road, chronicling the 5 weeks of this tour, condensed down to 12 and a half minutes. should be up very soon.
- i recorded a few little guitar and vocal versions of some of my favorite songs while on the road. we're going to try to release them all for free soon.
- after april 2nd, we're taking a break from the live show to start working more on preproduction for the next record.
- we're shopping around for a location to start recording the next album. it is largely written, but there's still plenty of planning to do.
- we'll be back on the road in june, doing a short run up and down the coast... tentative dates soon.

more good stuff very soon.

AM meditations

it's hard to keep up while keepin' on.

writing...

it's always come in quick bursts for me. a frantic and sleepless evening spent with a guitar, then not another for a long time. i don't like to place limitations around myself that way, it's just an observation though... but if tonight is not one of those, i feel like it's close.

i'm overdue.

days off

suck! they're killin' me. i'm ready to get back on the road. we have a show tonight, then one more day off, then back to it. i can't wait... been using this time to put together something special for the end of this tour. should be out in a week or two! stay tuned!

EP!

be on the look out for a digital EP coming soon... right after this tour. a collection of covers and traditionals all recorded live on the road, with various special guests, in various places... might be including a few live recordings from this tour as well... best of all, it will be completely FREE. stay tuned!

baltimore

video we shot in baltimore...

van talk

so we had the idea to keep a running list of conversations that we've had in the van on tour... we'll be adding to this list over the next 5 weeks.. so far...

most epic songs
favorite star wars characters
bad prog bands
women in ohio
women in general
spreading peanut butter with sporks vs fingers

more to come!

oh, and..

another video from the caledonia show a few weeks ago...



enjoy.

raleigh

in raleigh at a coffee shop. the road is already taxing, but good! asheville was fun. played a show with tony wain and the payne, and crashed with them afterwards. excited for our show tonight, and just added a new shop in columbus, oh at ruby tuesday! things are lookin' really good. short drive tomorrow to greenville, nc, and then a long haul to DC the next day. more soon!

intense

there's something over that hill, that i gotta see...

goodbye georgia... see you in 5 weeks. right now, i am a-roaming.

ugh

livin' has gotten a little too comfortable again.. a little too slow movin'.. time to call it what it is and roll along.

caledonia

good vibes last night at caledonia lounge. good friends, good bands, and good times. here's a video.

tour tour tour

it's all that's ever on my mind these days... rightfully so, two weeks from right now, we'll be in chattanooga. our tour posters are being printed this weekend.. they're going to be pretty rad. have a look here...

there's a whole lot of huge things happening right now, some of which are not yet ready to be revealed. i don't know that i've ever been more excited about press, but this is going to be good. stay tuned for that...

spent this evening bumming around town, looking for a heavy winter coat with jacob and ashley, and then spent several hours working on last minute booking stuff with jacob. got a whole lot done too.

show this coming wednesday, debuting the new lineup in athens, all new material, no old stuff. thought it'd be nice to give everyone around here a taste of what's coming. 2/10 @ caledonia with macgregor burns, bow legged gorilla, and geisterkatzen. come kick it and have a drink. word on the street is there's an after party... should be a pretty good time..

so excited...
