Today it’s just Fan Friday.
I got to meet a big fan today, Kelley Deal. And she got to meet a big fan of hers, me, Lil BUB.
Please don’t tell Geddy.
This mini-tour has already been worth one thousand tours. Thanks for making it awesome Lil Bub.

Kelley’s been busy gearing up for the colder weather. She’s got a new batch of scarves available for sale at her new store: store.kelleydeal.com - And look for more goods soon!
From an amorphous glop of orange-tinted goo, the Gods of science have birthed a batch of transparent discs. We are excited to announce that our debut 7” will be released by Misra Records on October 30, 2012. The ‘Orange’ side is ‘Fallout and Fire’, the ‘Banana’ side is ‘SEE’.
The graphic depiction of cross-pollinating fruit was drawn by our weird friend Ali Calis at Able Projects.
To mark the occasion we will do a short tour leading up to the release (see dates below). In the meantime, you can listen to ‘Fallout and Fire’ on Pitchfork, where they were kind enough to debut it for us.
If you can’t make it out to any of the shows but still want to hear what we sound like ‘live’ ( or what we sounded like on a hot day in July) our Daytrotter Session has just been released.

The discs contain an audio track of the song plus a video clip of the song re-edited by Adam Kure to Kristian’s original 88footwear skate part. They’ll be available starting August 29 at Southpark Tavern in Dayton, OH (Kristian will be joining us for this string of shows!). The track will still be available digitally through Phratry Records.
