The Swiss Alps…
Ain’t no joke:
We are coming to you San Sebastian
We’ve just booked a hotel in San Sebastian, ES for our upcoming (and sorely needed) day off. The tour has been really wonderful. Zagreb was a revelation (bands, if there’s any way to route through there I would definitely do it), and Munich, where we’re presently sitting backstage at the Atomic Cafe, is rainy and cold as fucking hell, but this place is one of my favorite cities in the world so I don’t really mind. I’ve been tearing it up with my Leica out there, I’ve probably shot 6 or 7 rolls so far, a lot of Neopan 1600 and Fuji slide film.
I’m posting photos on my Tumblr page and I’ll do some here as well. Much love to all of you, I’ve never felt luckier to play music.
We are currently touring Europe!
Please check out the dates right to your right >>> Yes, there. Jason and Ian and I will be out for six weeks. Please say hello to us!!
NPR: Tiny Desk Concert
I remember thinking Forest Knolls would be impossible to play without the onslaught of distorted electric guitars, but in the offices of NPR at midday, it just felt right to play it way down. Enjoy.
