Guys, we are sorry that we've been so silent. It's been, like, deathly silent around here. Did you think that we were dead? Because of the tenor of the silence? Well, if so, you'd be 1/3 right. That's right, Keith is dead.

Well, no - ha ha - he's not really dead, but, Jesus, you can't call really quite call him "alive," considering the quality of life he enjoys. Never getting out of bed before 4:00pm is no way to live, especially when you make exceptions only to go see such films as Wrong Turn, staring Various Girls in Tight, Midriff-Baring Shirts. Keith and Chris took in a matinee showing of this thing on the day of its release and, afterward, agreed that maybe it was time for a little break in their friendship. So, they're not talking to each other anymore, unless a someone suggests a screening of Dog Soldiers, in which case all will be forgiven, because - as a rule - where there is fur and fang and claw and bloody saliva and severed sinew, there will be Keith and Chris. This is true on so many levels, but especially on the Dog Soldiers level.

But, so, assuming they get past this trauma, you should expect to see the kids all together again on June 7. This Saturday. NYC. Just show up this time. Check the shows page for details.

Also, there is much to tell about the HOT AURAL ACTION tour, which was great and which convinced us that hanging around in this tired old town is no way to conduct our affairs. So, we'll be on the road much more often in the future, sometimes even with our instruments. We've got pictures and whatnot to post up here, and will do so as soon as we have the technology to do so. Thanks to everyone who helped us set up shows and who let us sleep on their floor and who granted us use of their showers and their litter boxes and also thank you to the city of San Francisco for existing, and also fuck you to San Francisco for existing very far away from us.
