greetings, sweet patrons of the arts– we’re beyond thrilled (that’s right, BEYOND) to announce a massive spring tour supporting our upcoming release ‘damage points’. a few years ago we were lucky enough to play a bunch of shows with the amazing william fitzsimmons wherein we all rode around together and played music for nice folks, first a slow runner set, then a william set with us backing him up. it worked really well and we’ve always wanted to do it again. at long last, the moment has arrived! this one is monstrous, spanning some 18,000 miles and 46 cities across two countries (three if you count texas!). it’s the biggest tour we’ve ever done, but that works out nicely because ‘damage points’ is the best record we’ve ever made, and we want as many people to hear it as possible.
that’s where you come in. please help us spread the word. share our music with your friends, drag them to shows, annoy the guy in the cubicle next to you as you defiantly pump our jams. in court fighting assault charges? sing the judge a slow runner song and watch her heart melt. we feel really lucky to have such a tight group of amazing fans, but it would be pretty swell if more people knew we exist. i’m speaking as a (metaphorical) parent here, but ‘damage points’ is a sweet little record and deserves every chance to get out there and make it in this cold cold world. so please come out and see us on this tour, it’ll be worth it. promise.
