Reading those messages from the four of you really makes the post-art-punk we're making worth it, you know? Because being in a buzz band is harrrrd, man! And in answer to Aunt Jenny in Altoona and a little someone by the name of... the wife of the president of NIGERIA (Wow!), we can't send money right now but we do promise to play in your city soon enough, provided you can honor our tour rider (two words: Ding Dongs).
Right now we write this from our glockenspielists' home studio where we're working out some killer songs on his sick racecar bed. There's this really cool low five-to-high-five chord progression our hand-clappist is kicking around that's going to rock your world, too. I can't tell you his name because we're one of those "mysterious" bands. At our next sure-to-be-sold-out show at an arena and date TBA, we just might wear sunglasses over bear masks so we can up our ante to "enigmatic." And you'll love it.
Oh, a message for our blogger buds, if you must take incessant pictures of us at our show, 1) recognize the 'staches and 2) make us look like we're RULING. Sure, being in the buzziest band in the land has some backlash, but we just laugh at the haters who say our 15 minutes of fame started 16 minutes before we formed. Whatever! We've got like 1,500 minutes of fame! Others say "Why the hell would we see your dumb band when Cat Power, Beirut, Final Fantasy, WAVVES and The Pains of Being Pure at Heart are all playing this week?" Hmmm. Perhaps a touché. But I don't recall any of those bands getting fan mail from the former president of Nigeria's wife, do you? Bust. Crystal Quick Bear Heart's rein of ruling continues!
