After a whirlwind trip down to TX for SxSW, we are happy to be back home in NC. Thanks to everyone who came out to see us at Stubb’s and the Radio Room and to all of those who took the time to interview us or tape us, or really anything else that we did while we were there. We are grateful for you all.

We’ve got a few things to mention, so here goes.

First, we’re in the current issue of Rolling Stone magazine! It’s on newsstands now, and you can check out the article here. We’ll also have a few videos and interviews from SxSW popping up over the next few weeks, much like this one that we did for LastFM.com. Click here to watch the video. You can also listen to our show from last Wednesday @ Stubb’s BBQ and read a quick article here.

Second, we are gearing up for the release of our new record, I and Love and You which will be out this summer. We are working hard to get it out there and will post an official release date as soon as we have one!

Third, our June tour dates are posted now and the presale for some of them has already sold out! Tickets are on sale now for the two NYC shows on June 12th and 13th and tickets for the Washington, DC show will go on sale this Wednesday at noon. The presale for those shows sold out in the first day, so make sure to get your tickets soon.

Also, be on the lookout for more tour dates soon and make sure to sign up for the mailing list so you can get the best tickets during the presale!

Thanks and see you on the road.
