Summer tour starts tomorrow!

We are touring all over the country! We're covering 34 states and even have a few gigs up in the Great White North of Canada. Have a look below at our incredible list of tour dates. We are really pumped and determined to make this the best summer ever!

Oh, and I've decided that this should be our motto for the summer: You Gotta Do All The Stuff That You Love!

You with us? GOOD!

We know you love reading, so we're happy to present you with our Summer Reading List for 2007. If you read any of the books on this list and bring a book report to one of our summer shows, then we'll give you a free Harry and the Potters toothbrush! This summer's edition either read "Rock the Plaque Off!" or "Scourgify Your Teeth!" Your choice! Here's the list:

His Dark Materials - Philip Pullman
Catcher in the Rye - JD Salinger
Wise Blood - Flannery O'Connor
the Giver - Lois Lowry
Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close - Jonathan Safran Foer

For more details on these books and why we chose them, read here.

As you can see, it's a really long tour. If you were thinking of bringing cupcakes or anything, we'd probably prefer something healthier like Larabars or fruit or Vitamin Water or something like that you know? We've got to stay strong. Keep the power up! Cupcakes are still cool though.

OK, enough of this, you just want those tour dates. Well they're just below. Please come to a show or two if you can. We miss you!
