OCTOBER: We have a secret.  We have our new record in our hands (completely done).  We’re going to spend the next few months planning the release and seeking potential help  doing so.  In the meantime, we’ve got some great times planned in the coming weeks! 10/13 we’re revisiting philly’s finest free street festival, BLOKTOBERFEST, we did last year with The Walkmen, but as headliner!  On at 6:40 on main stage at jamaican jerk hut lot.  Then sharing the stage the next weekend in Delaware with one of our favorite bands round these days, The Felice Brothers.

“Red Dress” // GemsOnVHS Session: This past Tuesday we left Philly in a borrowed Dodge Durango to make a 14 hour venture through the night with a nice little town in mind called Nashville, TN.  On Wednesday at midnight, running on fumes, we started setting up for a video shoot with Gems on VHS of our song “Red Dress” from our forthcoming record. Here’s what happened!
