Last Sunday, our EP was shared on a blog that provides links to free, (legal,) downloads of music. Yay! You can check that out here.
In other news, we are once again playing at Sidewalk Cafe in NYC (providing the lower east side stays safe from the hurricane. Sidewalk is just on the border of an evacuation zone!)
The show will be Sunday, September 4th, the day before labor day, so we know you all have off the next day and will be able to come out. Plus! We're not even playing that late, 9:30pm. And! We have a new song to share with you.
Here's the event link on facebook.
Hope to see you there! :)

Elephant featured on Swedish blog
In honor of "Elephant" being linked on a Swedish blog, here is a blog post dedicated to the song!
To the best of my knowledge, this is the FIRST time we have ever publicly shared the lyrics. Lyrics to the other 5 songs on our EP to follow...
"I think I'll have a cigarette,"
she said,
"I've only had a few today."
"There's time to be illiterate,"
he said,
"I've read a few books in my day."
It's bigger than an elephant,
these thoughts of breaking down and losing ground.
The devil knows he's heaven sent
when he releases greed into the heart of the world.
We'll sit and we'll think
on this cold pavement ground.
Wrapped in the warmth of our flannel nightgowns.
One day we'll be lost,
but it won't be now.
So we'll be
whatever we are when we're first found.
La la la la la la la...
"I think I'll have a beer... or four,"
he said,
"I think I'll drink 'til I feel no more..."
She dances wild, she dances for
strangers she knows in her dreams,
that she'll never meet in the world.
We'll sit and we'll think
on this cold pavement ground.
Wrapped in the warmth of our flannel nightgowns.
One day we'll be lost,
but it won't be now.
So we'll be
whatever we are when we're first found.
La la la la la la la...

According to google translation, they've described us as "Stomp and gear hunting folk rock from New York." Can't say I really understand what that means, but it sounds pretty bad-ass. (Can anyone provide a more accurate translation?)
We've also switched the order on our bandcamp to have Elephant play first!
Elephant, after all, is a song about Fall (among other things,) and the crisp breeze of Autumn has certainly been showing it's presence these past few days.

Goodnight Blue Thursday
Just home from our Thursday night set at Goodbye Blue Monday.
Aside from one starving audience member being denied the grilled cheese
special (apparently out of spite), the show went well.
Ben couldn't join us, but John managed to morph into something between
himself and Ben, singing and serenading us all with his upright bass.
We also introduced a new song, Walnut Tree, written by Lena some time
ago and unearthed recently.
Finally, a big thanks for the audience participation (you know who you are).
Its good to have such talented accompaniment.
