Final Video & Equatorial weather tour

It’s time for some thank yous. Our final shows on the Strange Weather tour were sell out gigs in Washington DC and Brooklyn. Thanks! And over in England land, Saman Keshavarz’s video for our song “Jamie, My Intentions Are Bass” has been nominated for a UK Music Video Award. Thanks! (We hadn’t heard of it either but people tell us it’s a big deal, or at least a deal.)

Because of all this end-of-album-cycle love, we’re leaving you one last memory in video form. Here’s the story behind it so no one has to make a documentary ten years from now to find out: Some people got stoned one night and figured out the song “Most Certain Sure” matched up with an exploitation film called Stunt Rock as well as Wizard of Oz syncs up Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon. It was cut by Ethan Vogt, the founder of Bring to Light NYC which happened in early October in the parks & waterfront of Greenpoint, as well as other projects which the internet can explain.

Voila! Video magic.

Next time you see us, expect even more capes & leotards, stunts & fire.

Well, okay, maybe the time after next. In a few weeks we fly to various equatorial climates because fall in the northern hemisphere is a bummer. It’s a short tour that will take us to Indonesia, Columbia, Chile & Brazil. At least half the band’s set should consist of new material which we’ll be working on while we’re down there. Details here. Worth a plane ticket? It was worth it to us. Some people called our last album our Berlin album, maybe this will be our Latin jam. You’re welcome Asia & South America.

Last shows in a season of Strange Weather

We just finished up in Korea & California and there was the usual house rocking (or festival rocking rather) and the unusual hijinx we get up to. In Korea, we stayed in the futuristic ghost town of Incheon and ghosts don’t mind skinny dipping as evidenced by the photo above. A newsletter has just gone out announcing the upcoming shows as the final tour dates for this season of Strange Weather.

Sadly I’m sure you have now figured that we are only human. We can’t play everywhere and have to break now & then to make new records. Much as we would like them to, songs don’t write themselves. Right now, we’re swimming in demos and trying to pick the best ones for our next masterpiece.

Don’t u just transfer your adoration to a lesser band while we finish up these new recordings. We may just venture out to try out some new songs soon. Until then, stay sweet and we’ll stay !!!

Nicasso, The Wonderful

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

The Artist Formerly Known as Nic Offer from the band !!! has officially quit to devote himself to street magic. See the video announcement above.

It can also be viewed here & here.

We all know these have been hard times for the music industry. This is sad news that may disappoint the band’s many devoted fans. They were set to play two sets at Bonnaroo this Saturday.

Still, we think the world will come to embrace this next stage in Nic’s creative evolution.

Cabin Fever mix

Up there’s a mix that Allan did of stuff we’ve been jamming out to. It is in the popular MP3 format. Allan DJed some of the funnest afterparties we’ve been to this year (ours) and his skills are really coming up. This is perfect to bump at tailgate parties before our show, or tentside at the festivals this summer. Until the internet has gotten sick of it you can download it here or here or here or here.
