IT’S LIKE CHRISTMAS IN JANUARY
We learned how to use e-mail a few years ago, and figured the next logical step would be to try and get hip with some of these newfangled internet sites. So there's a new facebook page for the band. Click HERE and befriend us and we'll send you updates and links to new and free shit on a more regular basis......Also, we're in the giving mood, so we put up a whole bunch of free mp3s from our last three releases on our last.fm page HERE. Beyond the free mp3s, you can pretty much stream the rest of our 12+ year catalog, as well. Very cool site.
For live shows sake, we're playing a great one locally THIS FRIDAY, 1/29 at the one and only Sauce. This will be a special show for us for the following reasons:
-A live video shoot of our entire set for the first time in our history. Pro gear / pro attitude.
-Download cards that include 5 songs from "Endings" that will be available for free.
-New tee shirts and for the first time ever, girlie tees and hoodies made.
-Buildings, Nonagon (chicago), and Shageki. This is the most important part.
Here are the show details:
THIS FRIDAY, JANUARY 29TH - SAUCE - MINNEAPOLIS
SELF-EVIDENT
BUILDINGS
NONAGON (chicago)
SHAGEKI
21+, $5, 9PM Start
Finally, it looks like we'll be playing some rock shows locally and in Wisconsin in March, and then going out east and back again in April / May.
We'll give you the details as they surface. Stay tuned....

THE INCREDIBLE TOUR.
We just got back home after playing 16 shows in 16 nights and performing a death-defying 18 hour drive straight back home from Knoxville after the last show. Truth is, we still want to be on the road, playing shows. We have a lot of people and places to thank, so if I forgot anyone along the way, don't hate us. Just hate me.Here goes:
The Reptile Palace, Razor Fist, Bear Claw, Quenchers, Castle 3, Big Fat Japan, VWLS, Dayton Dirt Collective, CLVIII, Rick and the Southgate House, Ampline, 1000 Arms, Ron and the Carabar, Alex and Deadsea, Scarfo, Sean, and the Smiling Moose, Adam, Abre Los Ojos, Coal Miner, Kill You In The Face, the Khyber, Bill Wittmer (who brought Tom's amp back from the dead on ZERO notice), Josh and the Sidebar Tavern, Old Crow, Caustic Cassanova, The Spazz Haus, The Caledonia, Daffodil, Dead Dog, The Milestone, Val and Summer Night Shade, Uzuhi, Adam Arcuragi, Maya Art Gallery, Dropsonic, the Star Bar, The Poles, The New French Bar, Gamenight, Beaten Awake, the Pilot Light, and last but not least, ZEBULON PIKE and MR. MIKE SIDDALL.
So this entire tour was a huge success on many levels. We got to play with some amazing bands, saw some great friends, people, and places, and sold out of our road copies of the new album on top of it. Can't wait to do it again in the spring.
In the meantime, we're playing a few local shows - one being at the Hexagon Bar THIS FRIDAY, 12/4 with Kill to Kill, Sleeping In Gethsemane, and The Drug Budget. Check out the shows page for more details.
If you haven't picked up our new record yet, time's a wastin'. We think you'll like it.

ENDINGS.
First, let us get one thing out of the way. We aren't breaking up (as you might assume from the title above). Quite the contrary, actually.We are releasing our new album "Endings" both here in the U.S. on Doubleplusgood Records, as well as an extended version on Stiff Slack Records in Japan. The official U.S. date is Monday, October 26th, and the Japan date is October 18th.
We'll be doing a local release show at the Triple Rock Social Club on Friday, October 23rd with A Whisper In The Noise and Bear Claw, and then will be headed on a 2-1/2 week tour to the east coast and back in early November with the one and only Zebulon Pike, who will be joining us for about half the dates. And double the drink tickets for mr. bass player. Check the shows page for details.
For the time being, we have posted two tracks off the new album on our myspace page HERE. Hope you dig.
Quite excited,

LEMURS
We've got a few shows coming up through August, including one in Chicago and one in Oshkosh this weekend. The spare tire fell off the underside of the van though, so if we get a flat, we're screwed. We also really need an oil change.We've decided which 11 songs are going to make the album (and 14 for the Japanese version) and are in the process of completing the post production and the artwork. It's going to be called "Endings". Look for an official release yet this fall with a super tour to follow.
Keep an eye on the "releases" and "shows" pages for more details!
