something’s gotta give.

Hey all! 

It’s been a rough weekend for me and Tom. We had a blast at the DC show with Paint it Black, the Screaming Females, Punch, Coke Bust and Give, but our minivan officially died. We’re trying to figure out what to do, and it looks like we’ll be renting cars for the few shows we have in the next 2 months while saving up for a new car. We’re just really bummed :( Every time we start to progress, write new songs, have some kind of idea for recording the new record, we get another set back. We’ll pull through it, don’t worry.. it’s just been a very slow and frustrating process. Thank you all for making DC so much fun.. it helped us forget that our car was in the weeds! I honestly think that all of the love and positive energy from the show got us home, because there’s no reason the minivan should have made it that far!

Anyways, we do have 3 awesome shows this weekend! 3 shows to look forward to and loads of amazing friends to see, so we’re excited about that! Here is the run down!

There ya go! More detailed information is probably on facebook invites from the show’s promoters, but feel free to send us any questions you may have!! I’m sorry this post is a little sad, but we promise to be in better spirits this weekend <3

Thank you all for making us feel loved and for all of your support throughout the years. Sometimes it’s hard to do the things you want to do, whether it’s people wanting you to finally give up because it’s not what THEY want you to do, or whether your own car is telling you to take a break. We’ll find a way. And we know you’ll be with us.

hey hey hey!

We just finished writing a new song today! It rules. We are very very excited to be writing new songs! The process is slow, but it only means that we’re putting lots of love into it :) We have been super crazy lately. I just moved down the street from my old apartment in BK, Tom is officially starting his own screen printing business (even getting his own commercial space finally!), and we’re trying to keep our minivan alive. I feel like the summer is going by so fast, and I can’t believe Berea Fest is around the corner. I have a feeling there will be a sweet limited edition slingshot tye-dyed tank top but you never know..

Also, I’M GETTING LASIK SURGERY!!!!! Holy moly. Don’t sweat it, nerds, I’ll still wear my glasses from time to time. I can’t imagine being without them, but I’m finally happy that I won’t NEED them and get horrible migraines because of them. yeahh!!

Anyways, lots of love and bagels from BK, NY!!

Love,

Carly (and Tom P!!!)

WE WILL TAKE YR KITTEHZ! ok, ok&#8230; we won&#8217;t, but we&#8217;re really tempted!  the people we end up staying with have some of the cutest animals we have ever seen!!!  the kitty above is Martin Moonlazer, and he is a sweetie.  he kept us up all night biting my toes and playing with random pieces of plastic, but that&#8217;s ok&#8230;  he can get away with it with his cuteness. we played DC two nights ago, and it was so rad!  Cuddle Circle opened up with some punk pop jams, then us, and then Sick Fix melted our faces with their sheer brutality!!!  It may be a strange combo, but us and Sick Fix have made tentative plans for at least doing a weekend tour (if not longer)&#8230; be prepared to have your eardrums crushed!!!!! and as we posted below, we played an Invisible Children benefit in Baltimore at the Charm City Art Space&#8230; out of all the times we have played CCAS with all the bands that Carly and I have been in over the years, this was the biggest turnout we have ever seen- it was awesome!!!!  we set up right in the middle of the room and people stood around us&#8230; it was a cool experiment that didn&#8217;t end up backfiring.  the only band i got to see that night was Age Sixteen, who are just as good live as they are in their recordings.  they&#8217;re looking for a new drummer&#8230; so check them out and get in touch if you&#8217;re interested in jamming with them!!!!   we went back to a new friend&#8217;s (Angie) house last night, and cuddled with a cute puppy and chilled.  We woke up to amazing tasting potatoes made by Miss Angie&#8230; what a sweetheart!!!!
