OH wow sailors,

Damon and I have made it safe and sound to LA. We survived SXSW in Austin. It was a whole lot of fun and we got to see some awesome bands like Silversun Pickups and Metallica…in one show!!! Ha! Amazing.

Thanks to all those who came out to our shows. It was awesome to look out and see lots of fans as well as industry folk. Thanks also to our best Texas buddies for the frisbee and for buying sunscreen. You guys know who you are. I feel relieved that Damon and I helped prevent your skin burning and thus delayed your personal aging process.

While at SXSW we were lucky enough to be asked to play some tunes for the good folk at SPIN magazine. Check it.

We were also asked about crocodiles and sharks by Uncensored Interview.com Actually, you know what…I don’t know if we were but I (as in Kate) just started talking about them. The question probably was…so tell us how you came up with the name An Horse and I answered “Shark attacks are rare…” etc. I do that sometimes. I just don’t really concentrate on what people are saying and my brain switches to my default answer…which at the moment is about sharks.

A while back our good friend Sara Quin of Tegan and Sara contacted our publicist because she wanted to interview us. Our publicist contacted us and said “ummm so this Sara Quin character wants to interview you…don’t you know her?”  We said “yes, we do know her. We talk to her a lot but sure, why not. Let’s have her ask us hard hitting questions on the record”. Hmmm actually it didn’t really play out like that. I think Sara just emailed us with some questions. They were hard hitting. The results can be seen on this wonderful website.

We have eaten some Thai food and now we are watching lame infomercials on TV. I have to say they are lame…otherwise I will probably end up ordering a bo-flex. I mean, you can’t deny the people on the ad look cut. Damon would not be happy. I don’t think it would fit in our van.

Tomorrow night (Tuesday March 24) we are playing at the Echo in LA where we join Canada’s Wintersleep for the first of nine co-headline shows. We have so much fun playing in LA. We can’t wait. Yes, we have already been to In N Out. Yes, we wore our never nudes in the van as we drove through the desert listening to Black Sabbath. Yes, we also listened to an audio book.

Ok that’s it for now.

Talk soon baboons.
