You can’t keep a good thing down.
Billy has his stitches out and new tour dates are rolling in. Almost every show has been rescheduled on ‘There’s No Off Switch Thing On This Tour’, and we will be adding more shows throughout the next few weeks. As far as we know, tickets purchased for canceled dates can be transferred over to the new shows. Be sure to check with the clubs for more information regarding ticket exchange or refund. We hope that everyone that bought tickets will be able to make it to the new dates.
Also, our resident videographer, Chris Herb, has put together a new video montage.
See you on the road…

Our resident spaceman, Brendon Stuart has put together a “video” comprised of some of the 800 still photos he took at the recent show at the Bowery. Our crack web team hasn’t been able to get it to run on this site yet, but you can view it by clicking on the image below.

A couple of weeks ago, we announced that a video of Pela playing an acoustic version of Cavalry. No sooner than we announced it, it disappeared. We’re still not sure what happened to it but it has been reposted. It shows the lads playing with Chris Herb, an old friend and bandmate of Billy, who wrote the lyrics. The video is not the best quality but you may never see the song being done this way again.

Don’t know how this happened, but our song “Lost to the Lonesome” was recently on the WB show Veronica Mars.
Check it out…..
