happiness burns video

Posted by andy macd on Aug 19, 2010

hey all,

check out our new video for "Happiness Burns". We shot it earlier this summer in Toronto with our good pal Richie Mitchell, who co-directed the "Noisemaker" video. We want to say a big thanks to the good folks at Videofact, our buddy and producer Mike MacMillan, the amazing crew and a BIG special thanks to all of the kids who came out and went to war with each other! Alec is still scraping water balloon juice off of his guitar.

If you have a few seconds, request the video at MuchMoreMusic HERE - http://muchmore.ca/mmtop10

Hope you enjoy.

territory to be released in other territories

Posted by andy macd on Jun 05, 2010

hey gang,

we're sitting in the san francisco airport waiting to board our plane for sydney, australia which leaves in about an hour. seems like a good time to announce that our newest record, territory, has been released in australia today thanks to the good people over at ABC! this is a big deal for us as this is the first time we've had a record released outside of canada. rest of the world beware...

speaking of the rest of the world, we're planning on releasing the record in the US in september and hope to throw a bit of a tour together to support that. we'll keep you posted. both of these releases will come with a few bonus tracks, namely "heroes of the sidewalk", "jezebel", "nighthawks" and "backseat sweetheart".

in other news, we've started to play a few new songs and are working hard on more. we hope to play them for you all soon. time to prepare for the longest flight of our lives. wish us luck.

what's new with you?

Posted by andy macd on May 07, 2010

hey everyone,

tomorrow we leave charlottetown behind for the big city with the mission of shooting a shiny new video for "happiness burns". our friend richie mitchell, who co-directed "noisemaker", will be at the helm. should be a doozy. we have really enjoyed having some quality time at home over the past few weeks and are getting close on 2 or 3 new tunes that we're really excited about.

we hope to play at least one of them live before we take the 100 hour plane ride to australia next month. we're still sorting our summer out but hopefully we'll be playing near you all sometime soon.

report back soon,

- andy
