we're off : we leave for Barcelona, Spain on tuesday, june 20th and the first of 11 shows with nueva vulcano is in Alicante, wherever that is. either way, we're so pumped. if you have friends in spain or portugal, or maybe you are there right now, tell them to get out and come see us play.

we added : 3 songs to a split CD/10" with nueva vulcano for this tour. it will be available in the states on our website (and maybe some stores) when we return in early july.  the first song is a remix of an existing tune from Sub-Hymns by that wicked DJ Freeman Moxy, the second is a sweet little instrumental tune--sans guitar, and the third is a cover tune that is sure to get you some lovin everytime you put it on the turntable. works everytime.

japan : just got the mastered version of our japanese EP, entitled The Magician, back from alan douches, and it rocks. we love it. artwork is being finished up as we type this urgent update, and i can't say enough about how awesome the art is. we're lucky. release date is SEPT.

again? : it may seem strange (to those of you who actually read and ingest the information on this site) to see me mention the exact same things over and over and over again in this forum. however, when i meet so many of you folks, nobody ever seems to have any of this info.

people will ask me "did you guys bring the new EP to the show?" and then i say "no, sorry", and  then i mention to those people  that we have a website with lots of info about that which they ask.  they often say, "oh yeah i know about that", and then i say, "cool, well all the info is there just in case". then they say "ok cool". then i say "right on". then they say, "i really like pelican and mono", then i'll say something like, "yeah, they're badass". then they say "fuck yeah". then i say "alright, take it".

so, take it.

ae. cm. ea.
