huzzah : we're closer than ever to giving birth to a 5 song monster called The Magician EP for Stiff Slack Records in Nagoya, Japan. not going to Japan any time soon? fear not, because we are, and shall return loaded. and loaded with plenty to sell from our merch page beginning in November. domo arigato, mr. miyagi. Japanese tour dates can be found on our campaign page.

kanooks like musik too : the Magician EP will also be available for purchase on our upcoming headlining tour through Canada and the east and south coasts in late Nov/December. if your band a)  is good, b) can draw some folks to the venue, and c) able to put up 3 road-weary gents for the night, then please contact the local promoter. we'll start posting the tour dates when more become confirmed so you'll know whether we're coming close to you. booking agents don't like announcing tentative things, real or imagined.

we're good : we feel really good about the new EP, but it, by no means, is a summation of where we intend to go. already in the bag are 7 new songs which are taking us to new heights in our new direction...jazz fusion. or maybe jazz fission. figuring out who's going to put this sucka out since DeSoto  is once again in a self-imposed state of deep slumber. but they did release a really cool record of childrens music with a bunch of indie rock stars recently called Play. check it out.

doing the splits : we have just received a new shipment of the Nueva Vulcano split CDs. we sold out about a month ago and several of you had quite a long wait for your merch. sorry 'bout that. but we gots em now so find your way to the Market page  and get you some.

i want to vacuum (whispered).
