Caddywhompus Tapes Are In! Chindig 04.

COMMUNITY RECORDS IS THE BOMB!

We just finished packing all the pre-orders for the tape release, each one with a unique photograph from our summer tour and a stick of a incense. We probably already mentioned this elsewhere but there are 4 new songs on side B of The Weight cassette. We are still working on new material so we should have a proper release coming soon. Order tapes here.

Now we would like to share with you all highlights from “The Mistle-To”, our weirdest tour yet! We met up with Sun Hotel right after Christmas in Beaumont, TX to play with Hello Chief! (an extremely talented band from Beaumont that plays poppy/mathy/chanty jams) The next night we played with LIMB in Houston, TX. LIMB, a.k.a. James Templeton, plays a drumset accompanied by his computer’s sample-glitch-style tracks that are triggered by hand-wired sensors within his kit. Then we played in Austin, TX on New Years Eve. Twenty bottles of Andre later someone threw a couch into the tiny fire which made it get bigger and singe the tree next to the house. I’d like to take this time to thank the Austin fire-fighters who saved our asses and didn’t call the cops. Rock and Roll!

Denton, TX w/ YALL

After 3 last-minute but fun-as-shit shows in a row in Denton,TX our van broke down in Fate, TX, where we preceded to post up in a motel for 3 days while we waited for our van a.k.a “Bobandi” to get fixed up. We were really bummed we had to cancel our Tenessee and Arkansas shows, so we are working on getting back their ASAP to make up for the cancelled shows. We made it to Mobile and Enterprise which turned out to be hella cool.

Now we are back in New Orleans. We played a couple house parties last week which destroyed. Check out these pics by Barryfest. Also, Chris is starting another solo ambient project in which he will make 8 hours of music “for a good night’s rest“. Sleeping is a very complex phenomenon, so chris has been researching the subject in order to make the best possible music to sleep too.
