It’s here, at last! Have yourself a listen!

We leaked an earlier version of this song a while back, but here is the final version of the single, plus a new b-side for your ear-holes on a Friday afternoon. Enjoy!

Hi everybody, I really don’t update the site nearly often enough, but thanks for reading and don’t forget to “like” us on Facebook (which I also don’t update nearly often enough, but…). A few things to update you on:

1) I contributed a cover of Austin’s own Daniel Johnston’s song “True Love Will Find You In the End” to this benefit compliation: http://thegracielawmixtape.bandcamp.com/album/the-gracie-law-mixtape All proceeds go to a really good cause. Read more on the compliation’s page.

2) I’m leaning towards #LP4 being released as a series of EPs, which means we can crank them out quicker than a whole album (sorry about that three-year wait last time, everybody). No release dates yet, but things are coming along really, really well.

3) Our cover of My Bloody Valentine’s “Only Shallow” was featured in the latest compilation by Psychgazer, a mix of psychedelic and shoegazer bands. Check out their Facebook page here.

More news to come!

Due to lousy weather and the threat of snow (snow, I tell you! Head for the hilllls!!!!!), I will not be playing at Opa! tonight. Instead, I’ll be playing from 3:00-5:00 on Sunday, when it’s supposed to be 70 degrees and sunny and I’ll most likely be playing out on the porch. So hit Hippie Church for lunch, have a taco and some margs, and then come down the road a few blocks and wash down your taco with some sangria and baked feta.

Is that too many P’s? I’m a little late in posting this due to a nasty little flu going ’round, but in case you missed it (like me — stupid network issues), you can listen to the podcast of “the 3rd best radio show in the world…featuring Building Rockets!”
