First tour w. Sloan

Hello all

Last night was the first of our five dates with power pop savants, Sloan. The Hits are being brandished without regard for the safety of those crammed into the venues, much to their delight.

I hesitate to call this a tour as we'll be within a few hours of home at all times. We can hardly call it he '2010 Expedition w. Sloan' though. It isn't far removed from going to overnight camp in 4th grade.

These shows have forced us to get our act together and (finally) release a physical version of our latest EP, 'All the Things We've Been Told'. It looks (and sounds) sharp, one and all should do their best to secure a copy for themselves.

Best,
Modern Superstitions

Fluid Piano

This instrument is fluid in the sense that the notes aren't anchored to standard western tuning (eg, A440), or the belief that there are 12 notes in a scale. It's a hybrid of the sitar and piano, a neat piece of design without much practical use.
