some down time

Hi friends, it’s been a crazy 14 months of shows. We’re taking a two month break to recuperate a bit, clean the hell out of our house, focus on finals, and of course spend some holiday time at home. Stay tuned for some new announcements and we’ll see you in January. \m/

There were other Ava Lunas before this, and there was Ava before that. But our Ava Luna began with a promise that I made to Nathan in the summer of 2006, in Takamatsu, Japan. Nathan and I agreed that we would devote our twenties to a rock and roll band and compromise for nobody and be as weird and sad and joyous as we wanted. And when our band toured the world, we’d return to Japan and play a show right there, where we sat, on the roof of Takamatsu Station. 

 Our Ava Luna fulfilled most of that promise, and now that my twenties are over here is my birthday present for everybody. Recordings of me and some of the best people I’ve known in my life, fooling around, piecing things together. Some of these things are old, some are newer, some are unfinished. This isn’t an album, there’s no story here, at least not the type that we’d calculate. Rather, it’s the story of a bunch of friends making songs for lots of years, holed up some place or another, optimistic, quixotic. 

Up til now Ava Luna has been a beautiful promise, and after now it can be something different. With these songs, everything we’ve ever recorded is on the internet now. That’s our gift to you. happy birthday everybody
