“DEALERSHIPS” (track #17 off Eternity of Dimming) live in Chicago for Audiotree.
Here is the full 50 min. session:
We played a secret free show in East Lansing last night—similar to the secret house shows we’ve done in Baton Rouge, Chicago, etc. lately. Unbridled & raw fleshy intimacy. Where else should we do this? Photos & article here: http://bit.ly/SwkJZS

We are thrilled to announce that we’ve signed to the fabulous UK label Loose Music (Dawes, Deer Tick, The Felice Brothers, Lucero, etc.) in Europe.
The European single “Eyelashes” is now the Song of the Day over at The Line Of Best Fit + release details.
Exciting news on what’s going on stateside coming SOON.

The first leg of the fall tour concludes tonight in Chapel Hill, NC at Local 506. Thanks to everyone who’s been coming out. Great crowds. Long marathon time-warp sets, diverse in era-ethos and personal mythology minglings.
Straight home to Michigan thru the night for some cider mill/autumn chill action. xo

We found this guy to model our radical new 90s t-shirt. He just had THAT look. Good news is, you can look just as tubular if you head over to the Frontier Ruckus store.
The cover of our last album, but a few short years later—subtly deader & weightier as a dense receptacle of memory & time. But gloom not! New songs of living memory & memorable life are imminent!
Keep In Earshot
