FRIENDS, WE ARE HARD AT WORK!

Check our live page for upcoming shows, or as europeans and dads say, gigs!

Our new 2 album set / double record / everything we've worked for the past 2 years is so close to being done I can taste it! Phil will be DJing at LIC Bar in Long Island City on Saturday August 4th and at Beauty Bar in Manhattan on August 21 with My Ex Boyfriend's Records DJs. Don't sleep on that!

On JUNE 22, we are playing at Spike Hill, 184 & 186 Bedford Avenue, Brooklyn, NY at 9PM!! It is FREE and we are playing with our friends, Ryan Fagman & The Gaze! It will be great fun!

Hey check it out I wrote 16 songs/demos/ideas in February for FAWM (February Album Writing Month). Expect these songs to either disappear forever or be frankensteined into other / existing songs.

A bunch of smart people have started a new music magazine called Decoder. They curated a mixtape which will come out with the first issue, which we gave a brand new song to! They are online here and here is a link to their kickstarter to help fund the print edition, have a look!

Hello! What a great month of New York shows we had in June. Time Out New York called our music "timeless"! Some fucktard from the Village Voice thinks we have the worst band name in New York City! Exciting! "If I can make it here..."

3/2/10: Hey I did a cover of one of the new Joanna Newsom songs "Have One On Me". This song is my favorite on the album... Jimi Hendrix covered Sgt. Pepper a week after it came out. I kinda want to be the Jimi to Joanna's Beatles's.

Attention! Pitchfork premiered our new video for "High Art" recently, check it out in our MOVE section or here

---> We quickly wrote and recorded a little Calypso number called "they threw a shoe at you" about the time they threw a shoe at the president. We did it on garageband 'cause the feelin's there. Lyrics below. Here's the free download:

Lyrics:
on a suprise visit to the mid east
on a mission of war and peace
at the end of your second term
good intentions you wished to affirm
a meeting was called, the press took their seat
to sum up the status of the country
but right after you were introduced
they stood up and threw a shoe at you

they threw a shoe at you
as you stood at the podium to dictate and preach
they threw a shoe at you
before you could even begin your speech

the shoe came from the foot of the press
calling you terrible for government
a western man has no business
with issues of a land far away from his
the shoe defined how your intentions
were never best for their motherland
but only your chosen few
that's why they threw a shoe at you

they threw a shoe at you
for making policy based on conjecture
they threw a shoe at you
for feeling like their hero and protector

the shoe flew through the air like a leather bomb
some were happy and some were stunned
it looked like you had been of practice
the way you ducked like a champion
not once but twice without losing grace
which all you have done in the first place
without regard for lying or truth
and so they threw a shoe at you

they threw a shoe at you
highest insult in the islamic culture
they threw a shoe at you
they see you as a war and oil vulture

now you will go upon your way
and leave their country in disarray
and leave the office of president
in a worse state than when you started
and yes you make it out alright
but it would have been great to see you wave goodbye
brandishing a nice juicy purple bruise
from when they threw a shoe at you
