stopping the rumor...before it starts
February 12, 2009

Hey everyone – David here. It just struck me that our lack of news may be giving people the false impression that we’ve decided to take time off to devote toward the sex and drugs part of the rock ‘n roll equation. Well, it’s time to take matters into my own hands and put that rumor to rest. We are. I mean, we’re not. Just enjoying Kansas City for a spell and getting as many new songs on paper as possible. We’ll be on the road again in April and can’t wait to share what we’ve been up to. Hope all is well in your corner of the world.
