cowboys and nubians

[get some sleep]
Hello,
     A lot has been happening. We are fully in the swing of playing a lot of shows now. This is going to continue. Thanks to everyone who came out to our show at John Brown's on the Square on Friday. Many of you were also at our show Monday at PK's. That didn't go unnoticed. While, I really wish Hollows hadn't had an automotive mishap on the way to play with us, I was elated during the Flowers of Evil set.
     Here are some links to relevant happenings in the world of our band:



[1] Our fifth record is, as you may know, completely finished, pressed to vinyl/cd and available for your consumption. You can get one at our mail order store or at wholesale price (if you run a record store) through the Chicago-based distributor Carrot Top, LTD. You can also download it on iTunes or get a copy at one of our shows, which we will discuss presently.

[2] Here is a list of upcoming Secondary Modern shows. For the extended tour section of this list we have left off the venues  as it is not 100% booked. Don't fret. A lot of it is confirmed. We know what we're doing and we'll be there (and we'll keep you posted).

Also, our pal Dustin Houston is in the process of filming a video for our song "Plastic Bags / Destroying a Piano". So far it is extremely weird and we couldn't be happier. Here is a shot of our friend and neighborhood father-figure Jeff dressed as a bag lady. That's just a taste.  





Okay then,
