There, I’ll be rendezvousing with Adam, Tony, Josh, Chris, and our new comrade Evan Taubenfeld. I woke up today with a bit of a sore throat, but it should be gone in a day or two, and I don’t think it will effect the shows too much if at all. So fret not, Iowans, I anticipate a wondrous tour kick-off tomorrow in Ames, IA., where we’ll meet up with a couple of the boys in This Providence. I’ve got a couple of surprise appearances in the works for this tour, and who knows what kind of ideas Adam has brain brewed, so stay on your toes.

Since This Providence can only stay on the tour until April 1st, I’ve asked Tom, Sean, and Max from Empires to join us. They will be jumping on in Texas or Tennessee on or around April 1st. Check out the link for the specifics over the next few days. I am very excited about having them out!

That’s it for now, I’ll let you know how I’m feeling in the morning. I hope I have a voice. If not, Adam will have to sing…

I’m pleased to announce our upcoming acoustic tour! We’ll be heading out with some friends of ours on The Snakes & Suits Acoustic Tour with This Providence and of course, our new friend Evan Taubenfeld. We had so much fun on the east coast trip that we felt it was only fair to share the experience with the beautiful folks on the west coast and midwest as well. Check out the dates, get your tickets early, and stay tuned for more news on the tour soon!

I found this link in a message on the TAI myspace page… Someone synched scenes from the Cameron Crowe film Almost Famous to “After the Last Midtown Show”… This is the second video like this I’ve found, so I’m guessing someone saw the Donnie Darko – Rumored Nights mash up and got inspired. Or we’re dealing with the same person… Either way, a very nice compilation, a beautiful visual for the song. CHECK IT.
