Today was an exciting one here at our office as it saw the unveiling of two very special, near and dear records and our first foray into putting out a book (even if it has 200 pages and probably less than 200 words, haha). The humbling feeling of validation when you see…
Hey this is important

Wonderful and terrible things happen there, things you want to think about, but things that destroy you when you do. But then you’re forced to go back to one every night, and you can’t help but compare the two experiences, and how one, the one you usually have on a nightly basis, is seriously lacking. And then you wonder….for far too long.
Anonymous asked: what's wrong with porch luck?
You almost got me. As the guy that wasn’t on it, I could have shpealed real hard about this. But I stopped myself. Hopefully when “Naturally” comes out, we won’t ever have to hear about porch luck again. I get the sentimentality of that song, but to me it’s as basic as this band gets. (oops).
Anonymous asked: Are you saying you plan on not touring once you guys release this next album? I hope you will play at least a few places.. because some friends, and I especially, would kill to see you just once. Even in another state.
We honestly don’t know what we’ll do, whether it be a week long tour or a couple of final shows. So, that’s all I can say. Thanks for caring though, really.
Anonymous asked: This has nothing to do with your touring, but what do you think of Runner Up? I've seen lots of posts complaining about them and since they put out your first LP I just wanted to know your opinion. My friend told me he ordered your LP over a year ago and still hasn't gotten it after countless emails.
We’re bummed about it, and we’ve told him every time there are complaints, but there’s really nothing we can do. I’d like to be the hero and go to his house and get the records that need to be shipped and ship them myself, but it’s not my or anyone else’s responsibility. We’re sorry. Our second LP will be fully released through Count Your Lucky Stars.
Anonymous asked: Isn't it sad though when you think about it? I mean, you have the fanbase, you have the music. I'm sure if ya guys got more serious into it, you could be touring worldwide. It's all preference though.
It is sad, and trust me, I’d like to. But I also think you overestimate our popularity. I don’t think there’s any city where we will draw more than 50 people, and that’s being generous. The internet likes us a little, but people are so much more scattered in the real world. We’re also a bunch of sad pessimists, so there you go.
Anonymous asked: When do you plan on coming to L.A?
Never. Sorry. We’re unprofessional and unorganized. We are not a real band. We just happen to write songs and put them out. That’s pretty much it. We’ve played maybe 20 days “on tour”. It’s unfortunate and the result of many things.
Hightide Hotel- Your Bed
Most days I don’t answer my phone
Most days I crave to be alone
No, I’m fine, I’m fine, I swear,
Just a bit distracted
