first of all, thanks to everyone for coming out to the derby and the echo. both were great shows. it's really nice going to LA because you can play a show on a tuesday or wednesday night and people actually come. but i did get made fun of for wearing a lily allen pin. heyyyyyyyyyyaaaaaaaaaaaaa. you win some and you lose some.
while we were in town we stopped by ABC studios where our buddy cisco works. we dropped by the lost island to say hi to ben and jacob (!), but mainly we were there to try on some new gear:
bottom of the hill with FILM SCHOOL tomorrow - be there.
-the morning benders

Update: Show is FREE for 21+.. $5 for the rest. Still All Ages welcome.
thanks for coming out to our show at bottom of the hill the other night. sorry to those who were turned away, that's the one downside to sold out shows.... seriously, we hate not being able to get everyone in. thanks so much to oh no oh my! and au revoir simone for playing with us. on top of being awesome bands, they were all super cool and friendly. check those dudes/dudettes out if you haven't already
soooo.. here's a picture our friend adrian took:
a couple of our friends took pictures, but we haven't gotten them all back yet. we'll post more pictures once we receive them.
here's a video clip of a new song:
..and a bonus video of dp singing an oldie but goodie!
in other news, our next 2 shows are up on the space. the first one is @
THE ECHO in LA on september 8th, a saturday. this is ALL AGES, unlike our last couple shows in LA. hope to see all you kids out there.
the next show in the bay area is september 13, a thursday, at du nord. this show is also all ages. we are headlining this one, and expect all you kids to be out there.
both shows will be with the deadly syndrome, a sweet band from LA. i just heard them for the first time a couple weeks ago and was thoroughly impressed.

as you all know, we've been very busy making a record. in fact, we just got back from NY where we were putting on some finishing touches. we've been so busy actually that we had no time to make a real poster for our show next weekend, and had to steal this one off the internet. pretty silly looking, but hey, it's got han solo on it...
buy tickets for that one on ticketweb if you want to come, they seem to be selling pretty quickly. we play at 9:00 pm. all ages!
we've been busy practicing, a bunch of new songs, and newified old ones. here's a couple videos from our practice space. the first is a clip from the guitar'd out version of 'last today.' the second one is a new song (or about the first 1/3 of a new song) off the new record called 'waiting for a war.' sorry they are so dark, they don't have lights in oakland. well, they have christmas lights. ENJOY!
