Update, 11/20/08

We're excited to be playing the Hotel Utah this Tuesday, the 25th of November, with Hazelwood and Ghosts and Strings for a monthly night called Echoplex. KUSF's Chris Cook will also be DJing between sets, so it'll be worth every cent of the six dollar admission price.

In other news, our split with Finest Dearest should be sent off to be mastered in the next couple of weeks with a release show soon to follow. We'll have more updates on this as we know what they are.

Thanks,

This is just crazy. As I get older I'm trying to see all sides to every story, but 50 shots?

EP Pre-order

We'd like to thank our German friends at The Last Pop Song for their kind words about "Lacuna", our new EP. We'd also like to thank Finest Dearest, Top Critters and all our friends for coming to our EP release show last Saturday at the Hemlock. We sincerely hope that everyone has as much fun as we did! Our next show will be Saturday, February 9th at 7:00 P.M. at the Bike Kitchen with the mighty Spark and Decay, Magician's Wand, The Bug Pedals and Heavy Face. This show will be a benefit for the Bike Kitchen so, if you can, please make sure to stop by.

Finally, to pre-order "Lacuna" please click on the button below. Orders will ship in the next two weeks (we're waiting for the CDs to come back from the pressing plant).

...

After a lengthy process and many setbacks (Andy's crippling motorcycle accident, switching studios AND engineers, my moving to Los Angeles, and a few other injuries along the way to name a few) I finally have the reference copy of our new EP (to be entitled Lacuna) in hand. We are still completing the packaging, but in the meantime we wanted to post an mp3 of the 2nd song on our EP called Off with His Head . We hope you like it! Please feel free to let us know what you think at: emptyroomsbooking@gmail.com

In the meantime, we have two shows booked (and we're looking to book more in San Francisco and elsewhere):

January 19th at the Hemlock w/ Finest Dearest & Top Critters
February 9th at the Bike Kitchen (which rules) with Must I Lose A Limb (ex Serene Lakes!)

We're also writing slightly faster than our usual snail's pace, and we're looking to have another release before fall.

Finally, Eric noticed how rad the Broadway Tunnel looked the other day, so we had our friend Tony Jett take a photo. Unfortunately what is not shown is us sprinting through traffic to get underneath that inlet in the center divide.






Take care,

Chris
