Let me start out by saying...thanks for all the support we've received over the year. Its really been an incredible run of gigs for us. Starting out with new years in San Francisco through to our most recent european tour, we really appreciate how people have continued to be there for the band.
We have gotten love, so we want to get it back.
What else can I say? We are here.
We kept gigging. We kept putting out new music.
So as we get ready to finish out the year with a southern trip thru texas, louisiana, and florida followed by east coast dates in Brooklyn and Philly....I just want to say thank you again.
In terms of releases, we began the year with a live DVD, Live at Flamingo Cantina, our favorite watering hole in texas (www.interpunk.com)
We also began a series of downloads of live shows that we are gonna continue on whatevski (www.whatevski.org). So far we have up our boat show from 2009, and 2009 Slackfest at the bowery ballroom.
On the vinyl front, we have put out self medication & afternoon in dub on vinyl (www.interpunk.com) plus just in time for Purim we got out the much delayed 45 of 'dreidel, dreidel.'
On the album front, we put out "Lost & Found" on Special Potato. Lost & Found is a compilation album of lost tracks, rarities, and alternate versions of favorites that we lovingly restored, edited, and polished over the summer.
Its available for mail order on www.interpunk.com (USA/Canada), www.phonocaster.com (europe), and on DISK UNION in Japan. You can also download it at www.whatevski.org
We also have it at our merch table on tour of course. :)
We have also not just been dwelling on the past, but we have been making new music as well. Just a month ago, we spent 4 days in the studio in Berlin and we laid down the basics for 25 tracks that will be culled down to form a new slacker studio album that will be released on Hellcat in 2010. This will be our first Hellcat release in 4 years, so we are looking forward to it.
In terms of touring for the first half of 2010, we have plans for a dc-virginia-north carolina run for january, some east coast dates in febuary, japan in march, california/arizona in april, and europe in may.
So yeah. We got a lot to be thankful for and a lot to look forward to. Thank you all again. See you out there.

I just wanted to say that the Tallahassee show was awesome! I hope you guys come back someday, and I hope I can see you in beloved Brooklyn one day. I also wanted to say that I love you Dave, and I love you Glen! I wanted to tell Glen that he made my month by grasping my hand and singing to me such a sweet line! One of my favourite concerts :)
