DOWNTOWN REVIVAL FEST!

We're so incredibly excited to have been invited to play the Downtown Revival Festival, right here in our hometown.

Check the line-up! Go and buy tickets and hold your breath until September 8, 2012!

THANK YOU SXSW!

Matt Pinfield came to see us and, according to our sources, left with a copy of "Tango Boys" in hand, we devoured some Tacodeli, played a few rounds of "dodge the ironic mustache guy staring at his cell phone while walking into traffic" with our rental tank, made new fans and friends, and almost missed our flight home... but we made it and we had an amazing time.

Thanks Austin! We'll be back soon!

Goin' to SXSW!

So, we're heading to SXSW to play at the No More Fake Labels showcase! We're going on at midnight!
