    Download our radio appearance!

    This recording is for your ears only, in recognition of your awesomeness and generosity.

    We recorded a live in-studio acoustic set on KSXC Radio, for our friend Angela's show, "Stereotype".

    Matt couldn't make it, so it was just me, Peter, and Luke. However, we transcended the limitations of our personnel in generating copious amounts of small-talk while I tuned my guitar.

    Enjoy our acoustic versions of brand new unrecorded songs, songs from the new album, and some old ones too! (click below to download a zip file containing 13 mp3's) http://www.mediafire.com/?b0ylm5hk29w9uaz

    Crossing the finish line

    Now that the kickstarter is almost closed, we're encouraging people to take advantage of our $5 and $10 rewards. If you want a CD eventually, isn't it much more fun to be a producer? Also, photoshop missed me, so I made this poster.

    WE DID IT!!!

    Thank you so so so much!!! We went above and beyond our goal, thanks to your generosity and support.

    As we march through the process of this release, we will continue to keep you updated.

    WE COULD NOT HAVE DONE THIS WITHOUT YOU. Thank you for reaffirming the reasons why we are making music in the first place - to connect with fellow human beings in a profound and positive way.

    Love,
    Tien
