PASTE

We're on the cover of PASTE magazine this month...pretty cool. We shot the cover the morning after arriving to the US from 5 weeks of touring in the UK & Europe. It was very cool and we were very tired but we all agree that Uncle Gales looks serious enough to battle galactic forces with his mind.

Oh yeah new tour dates added!!! Tickets are up now!!!

Party Pit - Cover #2

Check out this email we got:

From: "Burgess, Joshua W."
Date: March 8, 2007 1:39:47 PM EST
Subject: Party pit cover on google video

Hey fellas.

Maybe you get this a lot, but a buddy and me decided to play a cover of party pit (sorry it’s a little ragged) at a Ronald McDonald House charity event at the Mayo Clinic. Thought it was interesting since Im guessing a Hold Steady song has never resonated the main atrium at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN… It got a good response…. You guys rock….later

Here's the video:

Sneak Peaks...

We're in the lovely town of York in the UK. The show tonight was great and York has a lot of castles and cottages around the club....very cool. Here's some stills from our video for 'Stuck Between Stations'. Click HERE

Moh Azima (the guy who directs our videos) is also having a screening of 'Chips Ahoy' at the Happy Hour Fest in Los Angeles. If you'd like to check it out on the big screen you can. Below is a flyer for the event.
