Big week!  We’re definitely excited to hit the (mini) road ahead of our (mini) tour with Pearl and the Beard and Ugly Purple Sweater this weekend (Washington, Boston, New York), all in support of Escapemaker.com’s Green Getaways expo. Even the New Yorker is getting in on the action with a (mini) listing for the NYC…

We like traveling. And being green. So it’s only fitting that we’re doing a mini-tour with our great friends Pearl and the Beard and Ugly Purple Sweater in support of Escapemaker.com’s Green Getaways Local Food and Travel Expo in NYC on April 30. Shows in Boston, DC and NYC, all green-friendly.

Today we’re doing a dance of joy.* Why? Our new single “I Don’t Wanna Go Home” is ready for you to hear: it’s been set to Converse‘s awesome recap of DigBoston’s Boston to Austin showcase at SXSW. Here’s the Dig’s blog post about it. You can get your hands on the tune in a few weeks,…

We done did it. South by Southwest is over. The van survived.  Our dignity is in tact.  But a full recap of SXSW is coming; for now, here’s a taste of what we tasted (and we’re not just talking about the amazing flaming Dr. Peppers and lighting bars on fire). Click the picture for the…

Dear Van, Despite some hiccups, you made it. Perhaps it was the good people’s prayers, Nick Balkin‘s truck stop meditations, or the endless amount of Texan beef jerky we fed you, but you overcame adversity to deliver us to Austin for the South by Southwest Festival. We thank you dearly. Let’s not yet think about…

As we pack up for our road trip to Pittsburgh, Chicago, Madison and Austin, we realize we have a lot of t-shirts between us (1st place: Mr. Magoo, 2nd: 1986 Celtics). In the spirit of spring approaching and our own giddiness for this tour, t-shirts are now *ten bucks* on this website. For a band…

Today, the excellent NYC blog The Music Slut premiered our new live video for the new tune “Mannequin Man.” Here’s what they said: Call them what you will — “swing folk,” “sassy Americana,” a “hyper ho-down” — but Boston’s Kingsley Floodsure combust live on stage. They’re a six piece that treads a delicate line between…

There’s this great blog over at the Boston Herald called Guestlisted, where Jed Gottlieb talks about all sorts of music stuff. More importantly, their offices feature all sorts of movie posters. We were excited to play a few songs there a few weeks back, and more excited to do them in front of Nicolas Cage…

We’re thrilled to announce that there is an invasion happening.  It does not involve little green men, British mop tops, or even Nicole Kidman., rather surly massholes still pissed The Town wasn’t nominated for Best Picture*.  And it’s all going down in Austin, TX,  – which will be officially renamed Baustin** – home of the…

In solidarity with loners and ex-Hallmark employees, we’d like to avoid Valentine’s Day with a distraction: we’re thrilled to announce that we’ll be playing the Smoke and Sand Showcase at the South by Southwest Festival next month. Twenty bands, three stages, two great sponsors (Coast to Coast Events and Ryan’s Smashing Life, to whom we’ve…
