obvious apologies for the non-updating... so, let's just get to the news. there's a video for 14,000 Things To Be Happy About shot by our friend rich from the magic spot. a beautiful late summer day, it was. also, TH will be featured again on Fearless Music in the near future. dates and times will be provided once they are known.

Here's and update as to what everybody's doing these days.

chris is playing as the Heligoats, delighting midwesterners with his performances and planning on heading into the studio soon.

nate and andrew have been playing some shows as the band for the Gunshy, and a new project Kid, You'll Move Mountains. is set to debut soon featuring members of El Oso and Inspector Owl. stay tuned for more details as they come in...

josh lives in chicago and spends most of his time riding the train, getting face tattoos, or as a music video extra.

work on the dvd is running a bit behind schedule, but for everyone that has asked, it is still most definitely on our radar. please take care, and enjoy the emergent spring!

TH on Fearless Music

so sorry for the long delay in updating, but we do have a bonafide piece of news for everyone. a previously taped performance on the show Fearless Music is going to be aired this saturday (or friday night for those not on the east coast), november 5th at midnight EST. Here's a list of television stations and markets that will be carrying the show. Unfortunately, it's only widely available on the Dish Network and then in random channels and markets scattered around the country. hopefully some of you out there will be able to catch it!

hope everyone is having a great fall!

oh, canada!

we'll be crossing the northern border this afternoon to make our maiden voyages to both montreal and toronto. everything surely will be fine...

we're so, so sorry to those in DC that we missed on saturday. sadly, the Jules Verne threw a belt near East Brunswick, NJ. the misshap not only led to overheating and a lack of breaks, power steering, and alternator, but it also caused us to miss the show. and for that we are truly sorry. we promise we'll make it up to you in the late summer or fall.

luckily, we found a place to fix it on a sunday morning and made it to both the WFNX interview (thanks WFNX!) and the boston show at the Middle East. not to mention, i found $20 sitting next to the road... like ice cube said, "today was a good day."

hey DC!

despite popular confusion, we're still on the bill this saturday at the Velvet Lounge in DC. there was a website mix-up (which may or may not be corrected before the show). however, we'll be there, and it's gonna be fun whether you like it or not!

also, if you're planning on going to the show at Tonic this Friday with Maximo Park, you may want to order tickets ahead of time on their website, as rumor has it that the show may very well sell out. if you don't dig the online sales, you can also go down to tonic and buy them ahead of time at their box office (open 8pm - 11pm). so, get your dancin' shoes on!

also, a live acoustic troubled hubble performance will be aired on WFNX in the greater Boston area this sunday on "First Contact" between 8-9 EST. the station also streams (there's a link on the website) - so, the rest around the country can take a listen as well. it will undoubtedly be sweet.

in other news, we're listed as a featured download on MTV.com! (right below the Gorillaz... wierd, huh? but certainly exciting.) it features Ear Nose & Throat, off of the album.
