i'm sitting in the yellow feather coffee shop in denver. today is september 11, and tonight we play our last show of the tour. brian took over 700 photos (!) and we are super grateful because otherwise we'd have like, 10 photos and they'd all be of tony. without getting tooooo sentimental, here are the best of the bunch.

2010-06-30T19:47:00.000-07:00

ok folks, i finally got my hands on a scanner, which means it's time to use this blog for its original purpose: to showcase some crude comics i've drawn over the past few years. first up is Old Baby #1, which follows a drunken manchild around his sordid world of bars and playpens. enjoy.

so the Completely Fucked / Chainsaw 7"s are finally here! edition of 300 on translucent orange/yellow vinyl (depending on how you look at it), Thanks so much to Heartbreak Beat Records for doing such an amazing job on this. They're currently available at Other Music in NYC and Academy in Brooklyn, and will be in other stores across the nation fairly soon. We've got copies too, so come see us play. We're doing a joint record release show with our buds Inoculist, who've got a killer new longplayer also coming out on Heartbreak Beat, so it will be a family affair.

we'll be doing a couple brooklyn and philly dates in july with our buds PIZZA, who are airtight and outtasight...more to come on this.

Little Gold will be embarking on a "pretty expansive" US tour starting in mid-august. the plan is to do about 2 weeks with Inoculist, then meet up with our pals Lovey Dovies from New Orleans and then head down the east coast for a couple weeks with them. more info/specific dates as they come.

News about Things

2010-01-30T19:29:00.000-08:00

things are good, as it turns out! just moved to philadelphia, which is a wonderful city, and now when i visit brooklyn i find myself hating it much less, so win/win. once i'm there for more than a couple days i start to get a little edgy. case in point, today, i woke up on pat's couch with a hint of the old brooklyn anxiety creeping back in to my bones. luckily i found rachel and enjoyed a miraculous omelette at the manhattan inn. after that i feel the pull of the jersey turnpike and i'm on my way home. just north of philly it begins to snow. i love my new home.

the trip was most productive, and this is where the news comes in. we finished mixing the songs for the Completely Fucked! 7" and they sound amazing! Kutch did a really cool job, and we're all pleased as punch. The record will be coming out in a few months on Heart Break Beat Records, which is totally awesome. you can check out the b-side, "Chainsaw," on our myspace.

in other Little Gold news, we will be releasing a cassette called "I'm What's Wrong With This Country" via the very cool Security Blanket Records outta Louisville. the tape will have some songs from the On the Knife sessions, as well as some weirder shit and a cover or two. coming out in the spring as well, hopefully in time for the Eurotour.

Speaking of the Eurotour, it's almost fully booked! just waiting on a couple dates. This is mindblowingly exciting for all three of us, who are feverishly working on our Hot New Look, to be debuted in Berlin.

my sincere astonishment and humility at the hands of john from virginia beach, who, as far as i know, is the only human with a little gold tattoo.

ashburn, virginia. i smell pretty good today and for some reason have the feeling of water in the ear despite not having bathed in days. sleepy and happy. pretty lonely.

2009-06-19T11:23:00.000-07:00

Since myspace is being a fat jerk, you can buy the new Little Gold album here. Let's hope this works.

i made a blog

2009-01-16T09:40:00.000-08:00

aren't you proud of me?
i started this blog primarily to showcase my new comics, but i'm sure it will be used for other things. or maybe nothing.

soon.
