Happy Holidaze

We recently did a session for Neon Gold TV. It was delightful. We played “It’s Around You” and also did our cover of “Millionaire” by Kelis ft. Andre 3000, which some of you may recognize from our live sets as of recent.

As a holiday treat, we’re offering up free studio versions of “Millionaire” and the always fantastic holiday jam “Little Drummer Boy” below.

If anyone is going to be in DC for NYE, come see MJ DJ with Avey Tare and Geologist from Animal Collective and JD Samson from MEN/Le Tigre. It will be a great end to 2011 and start to 2012.

“It’s Around You” Seven Inch

The cat is officially out of the bag and we’re excited to announce that we’ll be releasing another 7” on August 29th, this time with our buds over at Neon Gold Records. It will feature “It’s Around You” as the A-Side and newly recorded “Blood On Blood” as a AA-Side. You can find “It’s Around You” digitally on the Stay Kids album and “Blood On Blood” was written/recorded this past July with the help of Sarab Singh on drums and Ben H. Allen mixing the song. You can preorder the 7” HERE. We’re pressing a very limited copy, so be sure to grab your copy soon.
