hip hip la (updated)

hola amigos,

just got back from a fantastic trip to la. we played 2 shows with the kooks, and it was way fun. the first night was on thursday at the troubador, and the second on friday, at the echo. the kooks played awesome sets both nights, and to top it off, are some of the nicest guys ever. great crowds too, thanks to everyone for singing and dancing along. fun fun fun.

OH, we aren't going to be back in la for a bit, but we just found out we are doing a CD RELEASE show in la on may 8. that's right. we'll have copies of our first full length record, TALKING THROUGH TIN CANS. finally. how rad is that? the venue will be announced soon.

anyway. if you missed the last shows in la, here's a couple little write-ups and things to bring you up to speed:
