last night we played a show in san antonio at a club called "rox". there was no one there. you can never underestimate the power of advertising, or having a local band on the bill. but! it was actually a lot of fun for us, and we can always use the practice on a big stage with good sound and a nice PA.

we renewed our commitment to eating at diners while on the road by getting dinner at a place called EZ's which had a cool neon sign. turned out it wasn't a diner at all, it just had diner decor. disappointing, yet i swear some guys from the mob were eating there. you know, the san antonio mafia... ha.

in between songs in our set sarah said "you guys want to hear a cover?" to the 7 people that were there (5 of them were in the other band- called divide) and no one responded. so i said " is anyone paying attention?" and still no response. so we played it anyway and it was fun for us. then we finished playing, loaded out and left. the end.

wow. so much for updating soon. sorry about that.
the last few weeks have been spent waiting, which is starting to be the story of our lives. ironic (or not) since we are naming the new album "waiting for tomorrow" since its seems like that is what we are always doing. we are expecting the final mastered copy of the album any time now; i think we're done making changes. we've also done a photo shoot for pictures for the album, which i have yet to see, and we have some shows coming up as well - one in san antonio and one in round rock - we're branching out! - so check the shows page for updates and info.
we spent a lot of time wearing cheerleader costumes during sxsw, and while it seemed to help attract attention while passing out flyers on 6th street, i don't really think it added anything to our live show, except maybe some discomfort on our part. we'll have to see if we can dig up a picture of it for entertainment. we had a really fun show at mugshots, and we played the chiken wire ranch to a small, but very loyal crowd. we also played a day show at the ritz which turned out to be pretty cool.
that's brief i know, but its all i have time for at the moment. here are some bands from sxsw that i thought were cool:
redneck manifesto instrumental stuff from ireland, so tight and amazing! i saw them 4 times...
olympic lifts i was one of 10 people at their showcase, which is sad. they were really cool. more irish guys, sort of electronic hip hop - it was rad.
greyson manor we met these guys and they were nice. i have to let the band site just speak for itself.

i feel like there is something i'm forgetting, i'm sure it will come to me soon...
