Since our last entry, we've had some surprising and awesome honors:
A feature on myspace music
and Band of the Month for the first half of the Deli LA's Fav Emerging Artist of 2008
We're busy gearing up for our West Coast Tour* which is quickly approaching, and working silly day jobs that take up precious time but fund our smoking habit, and our habit of having a place to live.
The Smell has been kind enough to host a Help VOICEsVOICEs Go on Tour Benefit Show
The show will be sponsored by FILTER magazine and presented by KXLU.
The line-up, as of now, consists of:

and Hopefully we'll have the The Franken Stand for your Vegan Hot Dog enjoyment.
We just played two awesome shows this past week for our dear friends. The first was for Happyland's 24th Birthday, at L'Keg. We had such a great time at the show and ran into a lot of old friends. By the end of the night, the instruments were cleared away and everyone had put on their dancin' shoes.
The second was a Benefit show for Kevin Litrow of 60-Watt Kid @ Echo Curio. By the end of the night, Me, Lou, Sean and Brandi were laying on the carpet of the Curio's back room all lined up like sardines, so tired, listening to Billygoat's amazing set. Grant came in, stepping over us to get a mic stand or something, "you guys are so gay!" he said. Lou yelled back "Get me a pillow!" next thing I new people were clapping and it was time to go home. Two fantastic shows for our fantastic friends.
We hope to see you all soon. Come out to the Benefit, FEBRUARY 22nd @ the Smell. We need you there, plus we'll be gone on tour soon after. We want to see you before we go!
much much love,
Nico (and Jenean)
