We’ve got a nice little run ahead of us this weekend..

Thursday: Columbia SC @ El Burrito 7p

Saturday: Knoxville TN @ The Well 10p

Hope you all can join us this weekend. And in other news, we’ve got the new album, Two Step Silhouette pressed and ready to get to you fine folks. It’ll be officially released on June 19, but we may just have a few floating around in the Van in case you’d like to get your hands on it before the release… so that means come the aforementioned shows.

and……..wait for it…… We’re playing with our best pals The Darnell Boys at the 40Watt on May 10th. It’s gonna be a cray-zay night for everyone in town (as it’s also graduation weekend, which gives us all reason to celebrate).

So, to quote one of our favorite songs: “Tell the kitchen, tell the hallway, tell all the other rooms, we’ll see you sooooooon!”
