We’re playing at Beat Kitchen in Chicago on Friday, July 3. Come celebrate the holiday with us instead of doing it with about a trillion other people in Grant Park. It’s going to be a great show with two other great bands. We’re super excited to play at Beat Kitchen for the first time and we’d love to share the experience with as many people as possible. So, we hope you choose to go buy some discount fireworks on the 5th of July and light them off yourselves instead of heading downtown on the 3rd. That’s much more fun anyway. We’ll see you all there!!!

Headed up to Madison, WI for a show last night @ The Frequency.  We went exploring for a bit.  I (Nigel) am not in any of the pictures because I was taking them.  Enjoy!  Found out about MJ on the ride in.  Bummer.

A While back, we posted a (possibly premature) itinerary for A Lull’s summer tour to the east coast. Those dates and cities were more like what were hoping or planning for. We now have a better idea for how things are actually shaping up. The dates, cities, venues and other bands that we will be playing with are as follows.

The Cooper Building in Los Angeles has been sort of a mecca for the fashion and design world for decades.  We had the tremendous opportunity to have our video as part of a video wall installation at the Cooper Building along other artists such as Michel Gondry and Shepard Fairey.  Our video for “Skinny Fingers” was featured in the installation.  The launch event was a huge success.  In the second photo, you can see our video playing in the background.  Thanks everyone!!!

Malta India is Puerto Rican soda.

From Wikipedia:

“Malta is a type of soft drink. It is a carbonated malt beverage, meaning it is brewed from barley, hops, and water much like beer; corn and caramel color may also be added. However, malta is non-alcoholic. It is similar in color to stout (dark brown) but is very sweet, generally described as tasting like molasses. Unlike beer, ice is often added to malta when consumed. A popular way Latin Americans sometimes drink malta is by mixing it with condensed or evaporated milk.”
