Where's my band?

Check out this blog: middleclasswhitenoise. They had some good things to say about 'Tickle.'

I went to sleep last night expecting to wake up to Spencer's head and a bundle of Thomas, but no such luck is mine. I seriously have no idea where they are! Can someone give me a clue? I'm about to go practice with Toy Bombs for their show tonight at Silverlake Lounge with Chasing Kings, maybe they'll be over there? Or maybe they're on a beach somewhere? Or at a train station?

This is going to be a magic week. We're writing the next few singles. If you want any words put in the lyrics, put them in the comments. Thanks, babe.

Campfire Video 3/4: Bad Bad Whiskey

Video 3 of 4 in Campfire, our new EP released for Thanksgiving weekend. This one was directed by Thomas Carroll. Give him your props on Facebook.

CAMPFIRE Video 2/4: I Think I Care

The second video of the new album, "Campfire." Daniel Sripuntanagoon was the director of photography for the campfire video for I Think I Care (while Andrew Craig assisted with some additional camera work). It was edited by Tony Hello.

This is not a normal album, however. It was recorded in various Los Angeles backyards using only a 2-track tape machine. There are no overdubs; what you hear is just the live performance.

Happy Thanksgiving = Happy New Album

You heard correctly. In honor of one of the best holidays, we've released a new album: Campfire. Therein you'll find acoustic renditions of old favorites and our very own rendition of the classic blues diddy, Bad Bad Whiskey. We'll be releasing music videos for each song, the first of which is Pretty, which you may view above. Daniel Sripuntanagoon was the director of photography for the campfire video for Pretty (while Andrew Craig assisted with some additional camera work). It was edited by Tony Hello.

You can get the album for free. Just recommend it to someone and post the announcement of your recommendation on our Facebook page. Or if you'd rather buy it, you can use iTunes or our online store.

Simple Economics video

Tony's gone for Thanksgiving, so it's time to misbehave. Let's start by posting this alternate version of the Simple Economics video. It's the director's cut.

Also, we have a very special announcement for our Utah fans. We're going to be playing Salt Lake City's First Night on New Year's Eve. This year they're just calling it Eve. Details soon, but we are playing the night of the 31st. Ring in the New Year with us, it'll be a ball.

Things have been crazy around here. Thomas has been interviewing us with a flip camera spontaneously throughout the day. Like, really spontaneously. He attacks when we least expect it. And somehow there are shards of shattered lightbulbs on the ground in the last week. This morning, some workers bleached our hall, so it kind of smells like a pool in here - a pool filled with chlorine and chicken broth.

We're just about to write the next big hits, though. We're combing through a bunch of ideas recorded on our cell phones, tape players, and rehearsal takes. Good things to come, I can smell it. These are the good times, people!

Making Simple Economics

Next week, we'll be releasing the music video for Simple Economics, directed by THE Will Kindrick. We're so excited about the video, we thought we'd give you a little teaser. Enjoy.

Last Day of Tour

Tour photographer Marcello Ambriz says:

This Halloween i went to see the last JUST FRIENDS TOUR date. It awesome seeing this tour come to a close in Long Beach California. Toy Bombs and Eyes Lips Eyes played at the Queen Mary for their yearly haunted house/boat/house/dome thing.They had "haunted" mazes that we explored after their sets. I wasn't THAT scared going through the mazes, but i would still like to apologize to the people who's feet I stepped on trying to avoid those zombies hidden behind corners.
enough of my typing... here are the photos.
hope you enjoy.

Toy Bombs









The switch over... Psycho Killer!



EYES LIPS EYES

Just in time for the election. Simple Economics. The new Blue Red single.

It's not political. It's just economical. And not only that, but it answers exactly what toucans can and can't do.

Simple Economics is new Blue Red single for the month of November.
