Fresh off completing their first ever US Tour supporting The Kooks, the morning benders have been selected as the Editors' Choice in the iTunes Music Store this week. Click on the pic below to launch the store and check it out.
As if they weren't tired enough from sleeping on floors while driving cross country over the past month, the busy benders will be swinging by the Daytrotter Studios in Davenport, Iowa and HearYa HQ’s in Chicago this week on their drive back west from Brooklyn to Berkeley to record live studio sessions. They will (hopefully) be back for a performance and interview with Aaron Axelsen on Live105 ‘Soundcheck’ on the evening of Sunday, June 22nd. They will then shoot a video for ‘damnit anna’ in SF on June 24th with their friends at Nylon TV and will be doing an intimate welcome-home performance at the Puma store in SF (free and all-ages) on Friday, June 27th.
the benders will keep the good times going into July, accompanying We Are Scientists on some west coast Tour Dates, supporting Supergrass in Los Angeles on July 12th and performing at San Francisco's Good Magazine Block Party in SF on July 20th.
