We're back in Austin for the rest of the Summer and will be getting started on recording the 3rd album. Our tour with the Warlocks was amazing. Getting to tour with one of our favorite bands was like a dream come true! Theyre all very talented individuals. We'll be heading out with Roky Erickson this fall, so we'll be busy practicing with him for the next couple months getting a setlist ready to go! So we'll see y'all soon.
