Howdy friends

We hope you are well. I think I always write these blogs as letters. I guess they are a type of letter. I wish people wrote more letters. I just read the transcript of a lecture by Nick Cave (that a friend very kindly posted to me in the mail no less!!!) about letter writing. It was interesting and inspiring. I have yet to put pen to paper but I thought about it. That’s something right?

Damon and I have some downtime in Denver. We have been catching up on sleep and watching vampires. We want to thank everyone who came out and saw us play over the last two months. We are really grateful you came out to see us play and came and said hey. It’s so great! Thanks also for the kind and funny messages!

We would also like to thank The Appleseed Cast for having us. Fantastic guys and amazing storm chasers. They taught us how to wear a beard and we taught them not to be afraid of vegemite. A truly symbiotic relationship. Here we all are in New York City…

Damon and I are both going to spend the next month continuing to watch vampires and catch up on sleep. However, come June we are hitting the road with our lovely friend (and partner-in-late-night-standing-on-the-side-of-a-road-being-ignored-by-every-single-taxi-in-whatever-city-we-are-in) Telekinesis. We are so excited about touring with these guys! Not only do they get ignored by taxis but they make amazing music that gets stuck in my head. I fear Damon may have to take to some good old medieval trephination on my skull to get the songs out. He has indicated he will do what needs to be done to aid the tour. Perhaps tomorrow we will go to a hardware and get a drill.

Tour dates with Telekinesis here.

Also in July we trek to Norway to play the wonderful Slottsfjell Festival with Kaiser Chiefs, Foals, The Streets, Motorpsycho, Ash and more.

In other news, our US online store is up! It took some time but we wanted to make it great! Over the coming months we will add all sorts of new shirts, hoodies and of course our new record ‘Rearrange Beds’. In the mean time support your local independent record store and us!

AND while in Vancouver recently we shot a video for the song ‘Camp Out’ with the wonderful Angela Kendall. We look forward to showing off the results soon!

That’s enough computer time for me. I am going to eat sushi.

Take care, love lovers.
Kate and Damon
