There Are Countless Formulas For Pressing Flowers

Tour is ruling so much, but we've had limited access to computers. Hanging in Urbana with the Polyvinyl Records crew, Adam was like "Dude, we'll put your tourdates on our website, no problem.." and they made this incredible thing. I have no idea how anything works. Please come to one of these shows and say hi, or check our myspace for updated shows, some of which we don't have full information about yet but things keep coming thru. Always on the way there!!

McVickars

First week of tour went amazing. Five to go. Very limited internet access has meant less updates, and less communication than usual, but in a sporadic styleee, all is well and all things rage on. Listening to lots of weird nostalgia radar jams in the car and sleeping in strange places, stopping for gas or food in the strangest ones possible. Here's some photographic evidence. The rest of our show info will go up tomorrow or the next day, or there's always more info on our myspace. Hope everyone is doing great and if applicable, hope to see you soon.

Nick getting the wine he so desperately needs.

Desolation Wilderness in the computer age.


The future.

Ryan in his natural habitat.

...and Fred in his.

Rulers.

Played with Animal Hospital in Boston. Stunning!

Hanson Records in Oberlin. Appointment only.

After the show in Oberlin I went to another party where they were burning crayons on the coffee table. They into some next level shit out there.

Went with Aaron & Erika and their son Leo to the annual "Doggy Do" hound parade in Oberlin. It was pretty intense!

Jumpin

We leave for tour tomorrow morning! Holy hell.








(stunned pause...)






Ok. Thanks a million and a half to everyone who got in touch about hooking up shows last week. It was more helpful than you could imagine! Our tour is now mostly booked, with no serious holes or problematic stretches, just a few spots where shows are still getting worked out, down to the wire style. We spent most of yesterday screening t-shirts and most of the week practicing, and it's insane to feel like this thing is already here. SO EXCITED!!!

I posted up the first week of shows below, which are mostly midwest and east coast. If you can make any of them, you really should! If you read this blog, you probably know either me or Ryan and it would most likely be good to see you!!! (That or you could be some hateful, obsessed creeper, plotting horrible things and bad times.. But you should come out to the shows in that case, too. You could probably use a loving hug or some more enriching social exchanges..) If you're wondering about the other five weeks, or parts not listed below, a lot of the shows are up on our myspace and all of them will be soon. See you very very soon in the weird ass world!

This is part of a series of shows called "You Are Here" aka "The Maze". A three-week festival of performances taking place in a sculptural maze designed and installed within the Death By Audio show space. There is no prescribed order, start time or end time, duration, location of performance, relation of audience to performers, and so on. All of the participating artists have been asked to create something site-specific since the performances will, in fact, take place within the maze. With the K Records crew working together, I imagine this night will be completely amazing and full of weird ideas!
