the Magician EP : it's time! get it now before we sell out of these suckas. it happens. dischord records is also on the US distro tip with The Magician. get it from them. i dare you.

from us to stiff slack records, with luv : extra effing special thanks to takuya shinkawa for making our experience a reality. the Japanese tour was simply amazing. every show was very well attended or near max cap. every ear was poised for the next note from us. every soundman (or girl) actually cared about making the band sound great and (gasp!) made you feel like they were working for you, and not the other way around.

in fact, everyone there just gives a shit about what they're doing or making more than in the US. whether they're running sound, delivering mail, flipping burgers or pumping gas, it's all done with great pride. what a concept. mental note.

etcetera and so on and so forth: can't say enough about the whole thing. to do so would waste lots of space and all of our time. suffice it to say that our experience along with chadwick smiths' experience, who was along filming the whole affair, was a pivotal moment for us all. we returned change men with severe cases of yellow fever, i might add. yeah, i'm married, but lord knows i ain't blind. or am i?

U.S and Canadian tour dates await your inspection : get thee hither. we'll no doubt have the Magician EP for sale, along with the Flat End of the Earth EP, Suburban Hymns, Suburban Hymns +1 (japan import), the new eponymous split CD/10" with nueva vulcano (spain import), and scads of sexy new winter tees and hoodies.

sign the mailing list if you're cool. if not, sign it anyway. we don't care.

j/k. f/f. thx. ame. cam. ewa.
