The December Reader

Dear friends,

Tis the season of eggnog avoidance, hot toddy consumption, holiday parties of questionable merit, and family gatherings of unquestionable merit. One holiday party that is full and overflowing with merit is the Maldives Christmas party we’re playing at Neumos on Friday (details below).

We’re putting finishing touches on the Travels & Trunks re-release; its been very encouraging to hear the songs remixed with more depth and clarity. We’re also excited to give the record a vinyl pressing for the first time! Vinyl, yum.

We recently announced a west coast run of shows in January; due to some scheduling constraints, these shows will need to be moved to later and undetermined dates. We’re still coming for you, left coast, just you wait and see.

Besides working on the re-release and new material, we’ve been able to sneak into the studio to record some tunes. One of these songs will be featured on a Starbucks compilation of love songs in February. We’re excited for you to hear it!

And now, a list of some upcoming shows:
