Thanks for the video Tim.
What are the names of the two songs? And are they the ones featured in the video? I'm simply curious because the first one on the video you guys played on 2007-03-21 in NYC when you opened for The Slip, and I have no clue what that song is.

And I'd order the CD again for the bonus tracks if only I could read Japanese. Regardless, thanks for the video and link! Acoustic Miasmal... wow, how would I would have loved to have witnessed that.

yay!! thanks so much for the video, Loel!  looks like you guys had a great trip.... 

and yes, acoustic Miasmal was a pleasant surprise!! 

 

but the How You Gonna Lie teaser at the end was just plain mean....

.... i feel it crawling in, gnawing, reptilian ....

Through some research, I have discovered that the other song is called 'Ultra-Violet'.

...I think.

I think we actually settled on "Ultra Violent". How you gona lie is actually called "Early in The Morning".

It would be nice to find a way to get those tunes out over here... I'm sure we will think of something better than MP3's. Unfortunatley that was the only way the song "Damage" was released... a bit cheapish hmmm? 

I don't think we ever opened for the Slip in NYC... do you mean Troy? That was Ultra-Violent... It was referred to as "Fucked up Kids" then. I think Kevin Drew recently stole (ahem) that title though. 

Ahhh, there is a clip of a new song near the end, which has no title. We've got lots of new ideas kicking around these days, jams ahoy!

Thanks for watching! 

Loel, thanks for the info on Early In The Morning...  i have the recording from Moncton, and that song really stands out...

i do hope to see it come out officially soon!

what about 7" singles??

Hmmm acquiring these bonus tracks is certainly one of my top priorities at this point, that first song in the video Loel put up sounds excellent, I'd love to hear the whole song.

the song is called 'the kids are ultraviolent'// we will find a place for it somewhere soon.. it is on the japanese release but yeah,, we are thinking of Canadian release possibilities for both of those songs.. XO

 

That is spectacular news

There's a bootleg of a show from NYC: http://bt.etree.org/details.php?id=505988

I'm sure I've heard 'Polla' mention something about The Slip in it.
But then again, I'm pretty sure you would know a bit better than me. :) Cheers, and thanks for the info.

just received an imported copy of the cd from Japan. looooove the two bonus tracks.

i see... would you let us ... "sample" these tracks...
