From our LA show in August. <3

FUCK YEAH! Two last shows of the year AND they're FREE BABY! Saturday, Nov 28th: https://www.facebook.com/events/898266113543906/ Friday, Dec 4th: https://www.facebook.com/events/1662554917361676/

We played a house party in Coeur D'arlene, Idaho and then proceeded to get really drunk.

We have a DOPE show coming up soon with an Australian band on SubPop. SUPER PUMPED. YOU WILL BE THERE.

Hold me! We've officially made it to the west coast. Driving through Washington and Oregon was unbelieveably beautiful. We played Spokane, Seattle, Portland and Eugene, OR. The Pacific Northwest is shockingly gorgeous. I can't say it enough. The shows went really well and now we're off to Northern California. We have a day off here in Eugene and will be bumming around all day. Stay tuned! We have two more weeks left baby!

Tour update: We made it through the Midwest playing Milwaukee, Madison, Minneapolis, Des Moines, Omaha, and Lincoln. We took a big drive all the way to Denver where I visited my old stomping grounds. Having lived there for 5 years and being the first show back in Denver since I moved away, I saw so many familiar faces and got the warmest homecoming we could have asked for. We gotta thank Dave at Lost Lake in Denver for being the coolest guy alive. We stayed in Denver for a few days to rest and drove through Wyoming all day on Wednesday. We stayed in Billings, MT and now we're heading to Missoula, MT for our show at The Palace. We've heard great things about Missoula. We're definitely not in the Midwest anymore! The landscape is so beautiful here. We're so excited to get further west and keep playing music for you beautiful people. Stay tuned and check our Facebook page for more frequent updates!

TOUR UPDATE: Milwaukee was fucking fantastic. All of us growing up in and around Chicago, we have never really spent a ton of time in Milwaukee. For cryin' out loud, it's only 2 hours away and is such a cool place to be. People are so awesome and the city is incredibly down to earth. Milwaukee is really underrated for how cool it is. We love it and we'll be back soon to play more shows. We're currently in a coffee shop, Johnson Public House, in Madison, WI. We're getting some last minute tour stuff done and promoting the rest of our shows. Madison is unbelievably beautiful. All of us have never been here before and we're all in love with the place. We sat by the lake and ate sandwiches under a tree. Tonight, we will be at Mickey's playing with some fantastic local bands, Tarpaulin and Double Ewes. Tomorrow we are headed to Minneapolis! Love, Red Francis

OUR DEBUT SINGLE IS HERE. YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO.

OFFICIAL ALBUM COVER IS HERE! Thank you swiftdeathhorseclub for the magnificent piece of art.

Here's a little sneak peak of the album cover!

Holy shit! The album has been mastered! Thank you to Doug at Gravity Mastering. This is such a big release for us and we are incredibly excited to show you guys. We gotta thank Barrett at Treehouse Records for doing such a great job engineering the album. Next up is album art and the official release date! We'll keep you guys updated. Thank you all!

Finished Mixing!

Well well well, we just finished mixing the album and couldn't be happier. The tracks really feature a lot of space and natural tape sound. We didn't want to stray away from the natural sound we were getting from the live performance of each song. Each song was tracked and mixed onto tape. This process presented new and unique challenges. First off, you absolutely have to get the live performance down right. The feeling must be there, the energy of each instrument captured in time. There's really no punching in to correct mistakes, you have to be as sharp as possible, and I feel as though we really acheived success with this process. The tracks have so much power. We were partying, we were pushing each other as far as we could go, working our asses off and putting our souls onto tape. It's all there. You can absolutely sense this energy on each track. We had so much fun at Treehouse Records and have to thank Barrett and Matt for their services and hard work. The next step is mastering and album artwork! We're so close and cannot wait to reveal what we've done.

So excited about this new album. Tracking is coming to an end soon. We'll have something out to you in no time. In the time being, here is a really #trill vocal take from one of the songs.

Lil Al looking muy pechancho
