Osaka, here we come!!!

Can't wait to see everyone at Summersonic Tokyo tonight! We had a great soundcheck, and are just floored that we have a chance to headline the 10th anniversary of the show. Hopefully, you're all as excited as we are! See you later!

To everyone who came Friday at the Roxy. You made us feel great. We were really nervous about playing cuz its been awhile, you guys and gals helped us not miss a beat! Thanks again, and see you tomorrow!

site looks sweet with this photo! what you guys doing on Friday and Saturday?!

Here's our engineer, assistants and producer working hard...fuckers! No wonder this album hasn't come out yet!!!

Hey guys, here's our first attempt at some in studio video...This is me and G doing some backups....

Each time we call up a new song, the engineers at the studio put this tape on the board so they can sort out all the tracks. Thought it'd make a good picture...

Sorry for the lack of updates, but it actually is a good thing, because we've been crazy busy. I think we are almost finished with the greatest song we've ever written. Its coming along incredibly (is that even a word?) and I think it will be the standard for every other track on the record. In a way, this is really helpful, because now we can make each song the best it can be, in a sense taking each song as its own entity and reaching for the stars with each track.

Weekend off, so getting some much needed rest and thinking about how to make what we have even better. You guys are in for a treat...

After a few days of tracking guitars and bass, G has moved on to vocals for a few songs. Everything is turning out great. Me, Frank, Tom the engineer, and Peter and Kevin, the assistants, spent a few late nights getting great tones and having a lot of fun playing.

While G is doing vocals, me and Mikey are watching Frank play Fallout 3. He somehow ended up completely by accident creating a character who looks exactly like the guy who played Truman Capote in the movie that WASN'T "Capote." I've attached a picture of him...

I think Frank is about to smash some guy's head in with a tire iron...
