Jon…

1.   Can’t drive manual cars.

2.   Is uncircumcised.

3.   Also speaks Spanish and wishes he could speak all the languages of the world, at least French and Portuguese.

4.   Recently changed majors from music to environmental studies.

5.   Has managed to accumulate about $800 worth of San Francisco parking tickets in the past 6 months…Sigh.

6.   Is actually Mexican and Jewish, despite his misleading fro.

7.   Has no filter when he talks.

8.   IS his nickname…but he’s workin’ on that.

9.   Once lit his fro on fire at Cori’s old apartment. Buzz kill.

10. Inadvertently live by the motto, “Love ‘em and free ‘em.”

Hecky…

1.   First met Jon in elementary school in Rosarito, Mexico.

2.   Also collaborates with a punk-ska band called Los Kung-Fu Monkeys from Tijuana.

3.   Used to be a fan of Wendy Darling before being in the band, drunkenly singing lyrics at shows.

4.   Loves cats.

5.   Wishes to speak the German language fluently one day.

6.   Is actually a teddy bear come to life.

7.   Came up with an aerobics routine the whole band does after every show.

8.   Can speak and translate “Jon.”

9.   Will take you to the airport.

10. Can make Nate sing about chimneys on queue.

Nate…

1.   Started Wendy Darling when he posted a craigslist ad looking for a singer with “commanding stage presence” and the vocal abilities of “Ani Difranco, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Bjork and Jeff Buckley.”  Pretty ambitious.

2.   Has carpet that matches the drapes.

3.   Loves sushi.

4.   Was born in a house in Berkeley with the assistance of a midwife. His mom had all-natural home births with him and his two sisters. Hippie parents rule!

5.   Has an awesome mom, Annie, who is also featured in the band’s music video for “Persistence of Will.”

6.   Has a day job as a paralegal at a probate law firm in San Francisco.

7.   Has an older sister and a younger sister. His older sister, Mari, is an actress (http://www.thediaryofateenagegirl.com/), and his younger sister, Emily, is a comedian (http://emilyhellerstuff.com/). Something must have gone terribly wrong in their family when they were very young to make them all exhibitionists.

8.   Went to rock and roll band camp as a child.

9.   Is terrified of heights.

10. Have the worst tank top sun burn of his life right now. He still really likes tank tops despite the pain…He even wrote a song about them.

Cori…

1.      Is 6’0.”

2.      Loves Newcastle.

3.      Got her first CD from her cousin for Christmas. It was “The Bodyguard Soundtrack.” Then her dad bought her the Best of Simon and Garfunkel boxset. Dad ftw!

4.      Doesn’t have cable or internet.

5.      Has an older brother. He could beat up your brother.

6.      Has vivid dreams almost every night. It’s like a movie theater her head, and she have recurring nightmares about sharks. When she was little, she used to have nightmares about hurricanes. Then her mom told her we don’t get them in California. They stopped immediately. Mom ftw!

7.      Once held Listerine in her mouth for a minute on a dare. It’s a horrible idea.

8.      Learned how to shoot a gun when she was 6. She has never shot anything living.

9.      Used to “wave” her bangs in elementary school. She was not good at it.

10.  Wrote a song with Wendy Darling called “Your Song (2LCWR).” It’s about a very attractive man who lives far from her. She misses him constantly.

hehe, ballz

this was probably the sweetest place we got to crash on the whole tour – TMD’s bro’s place in Boiseee

So we returned home safe from a magical West Coast tour that ended in beautiful Red Rocks in CO.  We are pleased to announce that we are hard at work on our next studio album – it’s shaping up to be a six song EP that walks a line between electronica and dance rock – definitely a bit of a departure from our previous work, but it still has some of that old soul!

While we work on getting that finished we are taking a bit of a hiatus from playing shows for a few months. HOWEVER – we have one show coming up this Halloween at Hotel Utah in SF.  Super stoked for this show and to be playing with Stone Foxes.  So mark your calendars early cause this may be your only chance to see us for a while!

So we left portland now were on our way to BEND to play SOME MUSIKZ.

the drive was real pretty.

we were really pretty

We see an exit for “warm springs” and see a river…we figure YES.

YEAHH WHATEVER

“hyuck hyuck them there shiny dirt is purty”

aww yeahh gonna get me some healing water.

cori doin her jesus impersonation

hector being a total creep…cutie..cute creeper

cori’s a q-T

me and nate acknowledging the river not to be warm…at all…

“AWW SHIT THATS COLD”

“OH THERES A CAMERA THERE?!?1 WASSUP YA’LLZ IM JUST KICKN IT. HOLLA

this is a picture specifically taken for dominique. actually all pix of nate half naked are for dominique.

all right so we got dressed…and we were like SWEET. LETS PLAY A SHOW…SO WE DID. At silver moon brewery. yum. (beer)

hector happy to be hector

these people walked in and were immediately like “WERE CANADIAN!”. Those Canadians danced sohard.

i just had to put this pic up, cori looks nice (boobs)

lulz nates cute

canadian dancin! woo

so it was super fun, and we were graciously invited to a virgo party. It was fun.

i have uncontrollable head shakes.

hecky.

so after multiple attempts of shamelessly trying to crash on someones floor we decided to cave and go to a motel. Oh man, I wish I were talented at taking pictures. this place was a pretty brutal (awesome) room. It smelled like cigarettes and dead people.  Two of my favorite things..

it was okay though, st. heckumz was there so we felt safe.

bye bend

there isnt anything more reassuring than seeing the american flag when yer driving. fuck yeah

we played a show for a festival in eugene. it was really great

off to idaho

ONE LAST THING:

a double rainbow !

question: is double rainbow a sexual innuendo to anyone?

Our next stop was the land of “great potatoes”…yeahh! potatoes i love me some potatoes.

ate a lot of these bad boys.

nate drove this ENTIRE TRIP. fuckin a thats a lot of driving.

i did a lot of sleeping..and lickin’

it was a beautiful very green drive

we played a great show with black joe lewis and after the show had a little beat box ocarina session

we were all tired out from traveling and ocarinaing so we crashed out early. anna our host was soooooo nice. thankssss buddy

we needed to fuel up before leaving so it made sense to step at ye ole petrol station

this totally made me feel awesome:

all right so our third stop on tour was portland…woot
we played a second show with black joe and man they rocked.
our friend and nates cuz britta was nice enough to have us at her awesome apartment.

nate must of done this pose like 30 times while taking pictures.

theres cori!

hecky with our awesome hosts chris and britta.

all right so after two nights of rockin hard we needed some delicious food…we went to the obvious place to eat in portland…THE PARKING LOT OF FOOD TRUCKS!!

WHERE WE ATE DELICIOUS CREPES

nate thats not a pillow! its a crepe.

after getting our fill of delicious food and needed to get on the road to the next city we needed to play BEND.

bye bye portland

p.s. dont get off here

Also, we’re pleased to announce that our video interview from the Rothbury Festival is now up at SPIN.com

Check it out!
