Many thanks for helping make 2011 our greatest year to-date. We toured the West Coast and enjoyed some unforgettable hospitality courtesy of our friends at of KEXP in Seattle. Back East, we played shows with The Walkmen, Deer Tick, School of Seven Bells and even Cracker. The year concluded with a huge outpouring at The Bowery Ballroom, where we enjoyed piloting several new songs for the hometown crowd. The New Year finds us back in the recording studio fine-tuning our new material. Keep checking back for updates on the recording process and upcoming shows.
