we just got back from playing our first 2 shows on tour with the kooks. it was awesome seeing the four of them again, and we are so so so excited to be doing all these shows together! trying not to get too giddy now...
on sunday we played house of blues, and on monday the wiltern. both shows were awesome. thanks to everyone who came early and rocked out with us. on thursday we leave for vancouver for the rest of the tour. needless to say - we can't wait. here are a couple of pics from the last 2 shows:

big ups to itunes for giving our new album talking through tin cans the indie spotlight last week, to youtube for putting our video of crosseyed up on the front page, and if i haven't made it clear yet, THE KOOKS. those dudes rule.
oh yeah, if you don't have the album yet. GO GET IT. it's on itunes and amazon, and at a store near you. support us, and we will love you forever!!!
more tomorrow!
rock on,
the morning benders
