People,

Sorry about the late post today and the no-post yesterday, but I've been busy as all get out.

Yesterday we drove the band van through everything that Mother Nature could throw at us and brought the rock show to NYC. It was our first time playing the Mercury Lounge and it was, in a word, fantastimagical. No offense to anywhere else we've played in our short yet fruitful careers, but this place rules. The sound was simply glorious. It was everything sound is supposed to be but never is: crisp, clean, everything audible etc. Afterwards we described it as akin to getting an early Christmas present, it was that good. It was really aural sex.

Anywho, with the power of a truly fantastic club behind us, and the power of our truly fantastic fans (who braved the aforementioned calamities of nature) we played a really solid show. It's always nice to feel like you have nothing to be ashamed of when you come off stage except for Gordon's BO, and that's how we all felt last night.

So, thanks to everyone who came out. We appreciate it, especially when we're on I-95 in the pouring rain at 2:30 in the AM just hoping to get four hours in before having to head into work to be undervalued and underutilized before the demoralizing act of picking up our paychecks.

Ah, rock and roll.....
