Oh hi yo.

What's up, folks? We're here in Columbus. Last time we were here, it was the night that Columbus experienced record snowfall. Tonight's show had LESS people than that night! Columbus, you're really sh*tting the bed here, so to speak. Pardon my French. Ha ha ha ha. Since last we spoke, well, we've had some cool shows. Dirt Fest was fun, and it was a long and strange day. Then, there was Pontiac Michigan. I love the Pike Room. It rules. And it was a fun time. Nice bar. Ha ha. And then, there was tonight. Listen, I love Skully's as a venue, and I'd LOVE to play a show there with a good number of people... so Columbus, next time, help us out. Word. Tomorrow's Akron. I like Musica. Hopefully, you guys will show up.

Oh, and also, did you see? We've announced a release date for our new album! October 14th! Pre-sale information will be forth coming. God. Can't wait. We're releasing the CD... that's truly "The End of an Error." Ha ha. - Much Love, Okie

Wow. I'm getting lazy...

Man. I haven't been updating this at all. I'm a jerk. Ha ha. Well, we've been running around a whole bunch. Internet access? Spotty. Sleeping in vans. Driving overnight. Playin' shows. Lots of 'em. We've had some EXCELLENT shows since last I updated. Omaha? Holy crap! Amazing. Also, the dudes in The Secret Handshake are incredibly awesome. Go watch them play. They rule. Also, Iowa City? Always one of the best shows of the tour. This time was no disappointment. Even when the show had a curfew of 8:30! You guys went NUTS! And that was for an EARLY show! That's ridiculous. Anyways, we're in Michigan. Back in hallowed Eastern Standard Time. Tomorrow's Dirt Fest. I'm kinda scared... it looks like 500 metal bands, us, A Change of Pace, and Socratic. Finally, though, The Cover Up is playing to their type of crowd. They will blow people away. I can't wait to see the crowd for them. :^) Anyways, hope to see you guys at some of the coming shows. - Much Love, Okie

Yikes!

Oh the things that have happened since last we spoke! Our van broke down in Phoenix! The Cover Up housed us in their van on the ride to San Diego, after switching trailers (so they had ours) and we LOADED up that trailer with both bands' gear. We left Nick and Eric to handle things back in Phoenix as we went to San Diego. Along the way, THEIR van almost died, as it was now towing, literally, a ton of extra weight. We made it, didn't miss a show, and the van was fixed a few days later. As for us, we rented a Hyundai Sonata. Ha ha ha ha. The California shows were all very awesome (um, in all fairness, except for Fresno. But the kids that WERE there were really cool.). We just played a great show in Portland last night, and tonight is Seattle, one of my favorite cities in the world! Hopefully, kids will actually come to the show. That'd be swell. Ok, well, talk to you all later, and hope to see you guys at the shows! - Much Love, Okie

Sorry I'm late...

Wow. I haven't updated this thing in a while. Sorry... kind of a lot's happened. Well, as anyone who's come to the shows in the last couple of days may have noticed, Jose's in a sling. He separated his shoulder at the Red-Eyed Fly... you know, someone should really make that railing higher. Jose took a nasty spill down a cliff. It was a pretty ridiculous night. Since then, our guitar tech, Eric, has been filling in, with extra help from Steve and Spanky of The Cover Up. We've had some wonderful shows in McAllen and Brownsville, and then of course, the Plano Centre. That show was incredible. The kids were super awesome, I met a ton of people, and saw some sick bands. Dude, kids REALLY LIKE All Time Low. Ha ha. Those guys are good dudes. Well, we've had a couple days off, and now we're off to New Mexico, for a show tomorrow. I miss playing shows. It's been 2 days. Ha ha. - Much Love, Okie

Off to Austin!

Did you guys know that The Cover Up is officially the best band in the world? Seriously. They are all sorts of amazing. Houston was a LOT of fun! We've clearly picked the right city to be our namesake. Ha ha ha. And it was great to see our good buddy, Ray (from Hurricane's), at the show. Suffice it to say, a fun night was had by all. Tonight's Austin. Haven't played this venue before. Haven't played Austin in a while. Heck, we haven't played Texas in a while. So I hope this show goes well. So far, everyone that's come to the shows has been pretty damn cool with us, so we can only hope that the trend continues... Ok. Hope to see y'all there! - Much Love, Okie

This just in: Houston Calls FINALLY in Houston.

Hi guys. Haven't had internet in a couple of days. Sooooooo St. Louis was... interesting. Show gets cancelled because there was a fight at the venue the night before. We get on a show at the Creepy Crawl (thanks to them for getting us that show). Kids come to the show despite it all. We had a great time playing it. We done got drunk with our new boys in The Cover Up (who freaking SHRED, by the way). We partied at my friend Megan's house. Oof. That was a rough next morning. Ha ha.

Well, yesterday was Claremore, Oklahoma, and can I just say that I had... modest... expectations for this show? But it was a lot of fun, and you guys were rad! Thanks for having fun with us. Now, we're in Houston after an overnight drive... I'm pretty tired. Which may explain how dumb this post reads. Sorry about that. Houston tonight! Hope to see a bunch of people in our fair namesake! - Much Love, Okie

What the *!@#?

So first off, Tinley Park was AWESOME. But it always is to us. I love playing there. Thank you guys for making our first night of tour awesome.

Sorry this is gonna be short, but we gotta run outta this hotel. But I gotta tell y'all this. Our show tonight in St. Louis at Club UR got cancelled. Apparently a fight broke out. So Club UR is closed. INSTEAD, we're playing the Creepy Crawl. We're on at 9. PLEASE COME OUT AND SAY HI! We're super bummed about the show being cancelled, and this is our workaround. Hope to see some of you out there. - Much Love, Okie

We're home!

Well, we've BEEN home, actually. It's just that our website's been down, so I haven't been able to say that we got home. We've been getting mixes back from our engineer and our producer, and so far, everything sounds awesome. Seriously, it's incredible to see how far these songs have come from their original formats. I hope you guys get excited for this album. I know we already are. - Much Love, Okie

WOAH Change...

So we changed the vibe of one song COMPLETELY from when we first brought it into the studio. Actually, it's changed COMPLETELY twice so far. We have an original demo, a totally redone demo, and now a studio version. All are barely recognizable from the form before it. But this time, holy crap, does it sound good as hell. TOTALLY good as hell. We've gotta give our label the rough versions of a couple of songs to let them know we're on the right track (though we, as a band, are completely confident we are). I cannot WAIT to hear them. So freaking excited. So. Freaking. Excited. - Much Love, Okie

More changes.

As these songs start to take shape, we've kind of seen that they are far different than their original incarnations. And to keep the vocals, the keyboards, the guitars... any part, really... the same kind of ignores the dynamic of the song. That being said, almost no song has the exact same components that originally built them. It's fun making changes. A bit scary, too. But Tom and Jose are BEASTS at making these changes on the fly... ad libbing new parts, writing new guitar hooks. Truly, Gods among men. Either way, some more songs are nearing completion, and it all sounds pretty cool to me so far. Can't wait to add some harmonies, some percussion, and finish this thing up. - Much Love, Okie
