That’s right, the STS Feast is just around the corner.  Since last year’s show got rained out, we’re making it up to you guys with an awesome 10 year anniversary celebration with our friends.

If you’re in the area, come out and celebrate 10 amazing years with us. You won’t regret it.

Check out the Facebook event page.

See you guys soon!

What do you guys want to hear?  We’ll play the song with the most votes.

Also wanted to share these words with you:

“Allow life, trust life, and by and by life will destroy all your inhibitions, and energy will start streaming in all those parts where it has been prevented.

So whatever you do, do it with this hidden idea that you have to become more flowing. If you hold somebody’s hand, really hold it. You are holding it anyway, so why waste the moment? Really hold it! Don’t just be two dead hands holding each other, each wondering when the other is going to leave. If you talk, then let the talk be passionate; otherwise you will bore others and yourself.

Life should be a passion, a vibrating passion,  a pulsating passion, a tremendous energy. Whatever you do should not be dull; otherwise don’t do it. There is no duty to do anything, but whatever you feel like doing, really do it.” – Osho

See you kids soon!

We are speechless and truly touched. thank you so much Nick.

“So I just wanna say this. I’ve been a big fan of you guys ever since before my band (Staple Remover cough cough) started. For the past couple of years, your music has helped me through a lot. But there’s always been that one line that’s really helped me through everything, especially in the past few months. “Still Got My Optimism After All” has been the one line I’ve spent all of my days living by. It’s helped me to see the brighter side of things, and I cant express how much it’s meant to me. Today, to show both my appreciation of you guys for all you’ve done for me, for my band, for everyone who hears you, and to show how much this one line has helped me in my life, I got my first tattoo. It’s a hospital band with the line written in it. It means a lot to me, and it always will. It will forever be there to show me that things will be better. So I thank you all…for everything.”

A good friend of mine has recently been faced with a very difficult and trying time in his life.  I’m not talking about drama or relationship problems. I’m talking about some serious shit. Without going into details for the sake of his privacy, it has been a time of tremendous pain, doubt, and confusion for him and his family.

At a recent outdoor gathering, he came up to me and asked me if I had headphones on me. “Sure,” I said as I pulled them out of my beat up book bag.  Giving me a “thanks” nod he took them, plugged them into his mp3 player and walked off by himself.  

I watched him from a distance standing far from the crowd, simply listening to a song.  I stood both heartbroken and amazed.  

A song is helping him in some way to get through a time like this—not a book or movie, not medicine or a pill, not conversation, but a song at this moment can speak to him like nothing and no one else can.

This is why, I thought, I write and play music: to be that song for a good friend.

With the weather being as beautiful as it has been, we’ve been able to get out of the studio and finally play some outdoor shows (one of our favorite things in the world to do).  Here is some footage from our recent show at College of New Rochelle’s Strawberry Festival which we played with our good friends My Arcadia. We had such a good time at this show--thank you guys for making us feel so welcome! 

Thanks so much to Kyle from I Redeemer for these videos!

Want to catch the next outdoor show? We’re going to rock out with the Bronx Underground in the Boogie Down, next Saturday May 15th!
