GOOD NEWS, WE'RE PLAYING OUT

We're definitely not played out, we're playing out. We'll have a few shows to announce outside of the show you will read about in a moment, but it's exciting, right?

On Friday October 15th we're playing with TV Buddhas who are from Israel by way of Berlin at The Shop beneath Parts and Labor in Toronto. Cover is $5 and it will be amazing. There will be one more band playing, who will also be amazing. There's a good theme going for the evening.

NYC, Toronto, other cities, we'll see you soon.

TWO MORE 7"S

Sorry to lie and say that we were not releasing any further 7"s until our full-length drops. We realized 9 songs for a full-length was closer to an EP and that just isn't fair. We have two more 7"s, meaning 13 songs. The first one is still in print, it's limited to 350 copies and it's out on a Prussian label. We were listening to The Fall when we wrote this record. The second is also still in print and is limited to 450 copies. It is out on a really cool label from Basutoland [look it up]. For context, we were listening to the Gin Blossoms when writing and recording the second 7". We were hit by a wave of 90s nostalgia, which is really not indicated by what the songs sound like. The songs sound like Brooklyn, whatever that means.

LABEL / PUBLICIST / ANOTHER 7"

Don't get used to frequent updates, we're usually not this organized. We will be announcing our new label and publicist in the coming weeks. The label will release our first full-length, which will compile all of our 7"s. This will be our first release available digitally.

You may wonder why you can't download our songs anywhere online, and for that there are two reasons:

1. if you look neon windbreaker up on google or other search engines, you mainly get information about actual neon windbreakers, online sales and 80s and 90s references.

2. we made it so that if you try to rip our 7"s with your specialized recording equipment that it creates a virus. Pretty interesting considering this is vinyl to digital. We are innovators.

We have one final 7" in the works that will be out in time for our October tour. The 7" is entitled VOLCANO BEACH. The songs we recorded are inspired by the band Beach Fossils and indirectly by Surfer Blood.
