Something I found today..

If you're into googling your own band name, or even your own name name, you might find something like this:

"Don't bother Googling the band Exercise—you won't find anything about them until page 50 or so. They're still small fries on the national scene, buried beneath a bunch of jock-jam CDs and ab rollers. Maybe that'll change now that the St. Louis band has a proper record under its gym belt, chock full of challenging post-rock jams that are characterized by aerobic musicianship and limber beats. Fans of bands like Animal Collective and Xiu Xiu will be motivated to perform extreme chin-ups, or at least run some sprints.

Band Meeting

just thought we would give an update about our lives since we haven't really been "communicating" lately:

the album artwork, disc art, and master cd are all in the hands of a company in california, who will press and print our album. its kind of scary just sending everything you've worked on for the last year to some people you don't know, and trusting that everything comes back the way you want it and imagined it all this time.. but we'll get it back in a week or so, and we couldn't be more excited.

our cd release show is all set for July 16th @ The Firebird. Netherfriends are playing with us, if you haven't seen them live lately, you really should. They put on an incredibly fantastic live show.

what else...justin got sunburned pretty bad when he went fishing last weekend, he also phish-ed when they played in Indianapolis last week. bo is going to new york citay today to see his girlfriend. trevor continues employment at the retirement community, he should really be receiving community service trophies as well as paychecks. we've been writing a new song, we're digging it very much.

our tour to the east coast is coming together nicely. we look forward to that immensely. there is something about playing shows, sleeping terribly and driving many hours everyday with the same people that somehow equals the most fun thing in the world. not sure why.

can't wait to see you.

love,

ALBUM RELEASE!

So, we didn't win the best new band award sadly, thank you for voting though! I don't think we have enough friends between the three of us to win things...

BUT! We have officially announced our CD RELEASE! "Grandma's House" will drop the night of July 16th at The Firebird, where you'll be able to buy the debut full-length for the first time! It will also be available on itunes, and several other online music stores following the release show.

The show will be ALL AGES, with our band bff's Netherfriends.
Annnnnd, if you are lucky enough to snag one of the first 50 limited edition copies of the album, you will receive a "special surprise" album insert, with surprise special things in them..

Hooray!

Tour

We got home from our tour with Netherfriends (follow the link for more tour footage) a few days ago. It was incredibly fun, and we were all sad to go home. There are many stories to be told, too many to type out, but after sifting through tons of video footage of the tour, we have tried to compile something watchable.. not sure if we succeeded, sorry for the randomness.
I wish we had more video of us actually playing the shows, but that's on Netherfriends camera, not ours..
