Jimmy Kimmel tonight, KROQ Weenie Roast, KJEE Summer Round-Up, New Sheffield date..

Good morning,

It’s so nice to be back in our homes in L.A., after these weeks of bouncing around Europe. We’d like to thank everyone who came out to our shows in Berlin, Hamburg, Cologne, Hasselt, Paris, Copenhagen, Amsterdam, Coventry, Dublin, London, and Manchester. You made us feel at home thousands of miles from it…

We also want to thank those of you who arrived at our show in Sheffield only to find the forces of electricity conspiring against us. It’s taken a little while to get the details sorted for a makeup date, but we finally have one ( though not June as we originally intended):

July 14, 2009 – The Leadmill – Sheffield, UK
(All tickets for the May 6th show will be honored)

Stateside, we’re excited to announce that we’ll be playing Jimmy Kimmel Live! tonight on ABC The show starts at 12:05 a.m., and we’ll be taking the stage sometime after that. We really hope you can check it out.

Also, this Saturday, May 16th, we’ll be playing the KROQ Weenie Roast y Fiesta at the Verizon Wireless Amphitheater in Irvine with great bands like Silversun Pickups and Yeah Yeah Yeahs.

And on Sunday, May 17th, we’ll be heading up to Santa Barbara to play KJEE’s Summer Round-Up with Kings of Leon at the Santa Barbara Bowl.

If you’re in the neighborhood, we hope you can come join us.

Next week, we’ll be playing two shows with our good friends the Henry Clay People in Arizona:

5/19/09 – Martini Ranch – Scottsdale, AZ
5/20/09 – The Rock – Tucson, AZ

Shows with these gentlemen tend to be especially raucous affairs..
