Okay seriously though:

“The Door” is a new CD we recorded for Ecstatic Peace in the Spring of 2008 and it should be coming out in the fall.  It’s got 6 songs, including the live jammer “Downstairs” that we worked out on the west coast and beyond, and is a deeper view of the subterranean dweller, the unfortunate seeker, and the thrill of survival.

We’re touring in the fall in Europe, 19/9 - 5/10.  Contact afonso@fihounico.com if you can help - check our Myspace for more information.

Maya’s work is in a few gallery shows.  At Le Life in France until September, and Nate Nelson and Maya are both in a show which is up until August at School 33 in Baltimore.

We’re going to be making some live recordings available soon — look out.

Thanks.

We’re dripping! Oof!  Been playing some gigs, neglecting this blog, etc.  New jam up at our Myspace.  Should I post it here? Email us.  Be cool!

Come celebrate the warmth! Two RK gigs a week apart:

5.17.08 @ Knitting Factory w/ Cluster and a milllion others, No Fun Fest

So we’re back in the city and it’s cold, but welcoming.  The cats are fed, the windows are shut, and the yard is filthy.  Time to get ready for spring for real.  Thanks to everyone who hooked us up on the West Coast tour — food, drink, and good times were plentiful out there and we can’t thank enough those who helped us out in any way.  In the interest of not getting rusty before we record an album for Ecstatic Peace in two weeks, we’re playing a gig on Friday.

3.28.08 @ Asterisk, Brooklyn, NY - RK w/ TV Ghost, Amolvacy, Dustheads, 9PM, $7

We’re going to have a busy spring, if it would ever come. Frozen New York is getting old — let’s melt it. Below are the finalized tour dates for our West Coast tour. Additionally, we have a new CD out on Archive records and our newest compilation CD will be available on No Fun Records in early April. We’ll have these two CDs plus some other surprises for sale with us on the tour. See you where the air is sweet!
