Tour time again. We are idiots. Every time we've toured, we've gone to cold places in the winter, and warm places in the summer. THIS TIME, however, we are going to WARMER places during the WINTER. And let me tell you, it is a great idea. Walking around Texas today in only a shirt and jeans reminded me of when I used to go on family vacations to Florida during Spring Break. I would leave Chicago and it would be all cold and terrible and then I'd step off the plane and it felt warm and glorious. Places had their air conditioning on! It's February! We played a few shows in Oklahoma. Good times spent with good people. Tonight was Dallas. The other band that played did some sweet 90s covers from The Verve Pipe to Third Eye Blind and various others. We're watching The Office right now. Earlier, Dan and Pete were failing miserably at Rock Band. I, however, killed it on the vox. Ok andy wants his computer back. Hearts forever, Dave

your eyes are the size of the moon...

for real though, that new panic song is super catchy. so many bands are catching on to the 60s/70s-throwback-beatles-worship thing, and thats fine by me. i'll take that over terrible screaming and needless double-bass in pop songs any day. tomorrow is the last day of our tour with mr. gutierrez. its been a ton of fun, and actually probably one of the best tours (turnout-wise) we've ever done. its been an interesting experiment going out with a spoken word dude like chris. hes used to speaking in coffee-houses, and the kids at these shows are used to seeing... well, bands. but kids seemed to respond well. once he got going into his thing though, he had them hanging on his every word. it was also cool touring with that dude because honestly, i didnt really know him outside of shows. i think the internet might think that he and all of us were super tight to begin with, but really only justin and dave (and mostly dave) actually semi-regularly hung out with him. the rest of us just talked to him when he came to see us play. which was cool, but i never really felt like more than just an acquaintance with him. now though, we're actual, real-deal friends. which is awesome. thanks to everyone that came out to see us. you guys are the only reason we tour, and you make it worthwhile for us. watch out, west coast. we'll see you in a couple weeks. <3, andy

pete is the baron. his weapon of choice is UNARMED. he ranks as MOST HONORABLE. proximity mines in the stack. these are the clues. you must put them together to guess what activity transpires in epic proportions every night in the studio. so yeah! we've been in long island for a week now. drums: DONE! bass: DONE! guitars: DONE! trumpet/piano/harpsichord/et al: ALMOST DONE! vocals: BEGINNING TOMORROW! we're all beyond excited about finishing this record. its going to be composed of the 6 songs we're doing now, along with 6 we already recorded at vudu, but in other sessions. the previously recorded songs are going to remixed along with the new tracks, and when its all done, we will present the world with a 12 song full-length that would couldnt be more proud of. it wont leave your stereo. i promise. even if you try to take it out, your cd player will totally explode all over the place. in the meantime, you can chat with us while we're here on the screen name: YOWEINDASTUDIOYO (not case-sensitive!). and ive already seen tons of pics online of you guys promoting our chicago show at subterranean! youre seriously amazing. this dvd is already hilarious... who knows what the future will bring? so keep being awesome, and we'll do our best to reciprocate. expect new promo-pictures, exciting news updates, and maybe even a few sneak peeks of upcoming delicious treats in the near future! loveforever, andy & the sweetpeaz

dang, some cops were just walking around my house with flashlights. i asked them if everything was ok, and they asked me if i had seen a group of dudes in hoodies. i said no, and they told me to make sure my car doors were locked. SNAP.

we recorded demos for 6 songs last night and today. these, along with a few others yet to come, will be brought to VUDU studios in long island where we'll pick the best of the best. justin said it in our myspace blog, and i will say it here: NO autotune bullshit, and boatloads of heavy riffs WITHOUT resorting to JUD JUD WEE. straight up riffage and hookage.

it will be the best pop-rock-metal-indie-jazz-punk (ok, all those genres next to each other look stupid, but its actually pretty accurate) record youll hear this year, if not EVER.

so we got a record in the works, shows coming up (november 23th in DOWNERS GROVE and december 22nd at SUBTERRANEAN in chicago with FIREWORKS, THE HIGH COURT, AND CHRISTOPHER GUITAREZ), and a sick tour on the horizon (FIREWORKS and THE HIGH COURT).

so comment all over our myspace page and let us know what you learned in school. and come hang out when we're in your town.

in the meantime, listen to "dear god" by XTC.

hypnotic eyes starin at you from the dead of night take refuge in the trees and beg "please oh please just let me survive" this is my kind of place where creatures crawl under your skin and everywhere are claws sharp is blades that'll cut you even if your soul is saved in ohio, first week of tour is done, i have learned a few things, i have lost a few things, i feel a little out of sync with everything going on, but it wont last long please come out to the east coast shows, i need to see your faces enchantment under the sea dance when we get home, i hope biff doesnt show with beef -justin
