A week has come and gone since our vehicle was broken into and I’m quite surprized and pleased to say that the band has not collapsed into itself like a dying star. Really, it feels like the opposite (with less noxious gas)(well some noxious gas, but really a managable amount).
Denise and I truly cannot thank you all enough for your donations, words of encouragement, and love. The money we raised was enough to buy back almost everything we had lost. We can’t explain how much this meant to us, especially when it would have been so easy to give up and hide under our beds.
Stay tuned for something special for everyone to show our appreciation after our tour.
There’s no good way of saying that we have had some unfortunate luck. Last night our van was broken into just outside of Washington, DC and most of our equipment has been stolen. To our dismay, we have no choice but to drop out of the upcoming Philadelphia and Boston shows with Washed Out. We are asking for donations to help buy/rent equipment so we can get back on our feet for New York and continue on the rest of the tour. We hate to ask but we suffered a huge loss and anything would really help. Thanks to everyone for your support and I hope to see you all very soon.

Yes, today we join the ranks among Bart Simpson, Dramatic Hamster, and the 1985 Chicago Bears by having our name, image, or likeness emblazoned on a t-shirt. Can Memoryhouse™ Pajama Jeans be far off? And what of those fanciful Memoryhouse™ Home Pregnancy Tests we are always referencing in our songs? All I can say is patent pending. In the mean-time, enjoy this elegant t-shirt designed by frequent Memoryhouse collaborator Denise Nouvion. Batteries not included.
