That was the biggest touring break we&#8217;ve had since 2006, but it seems like we still know how to play music! Chicago was sold out and incredible. Kansas City wasn&#8217;t sold out, but still incredible. Tonight in Seattle is sold out, and I assume it&#8217;ll be incredible (or else..). And past that, the rest of the shows are running low on tickets, so\u2026 you know what to do&#8230; Oh, you don\u2019t?

This one&#8217;s gonna be reeaaal good. We were asked by Marathon and Lightning 100 (a great Nashville radio station) to play their annual Paranormal Rocktivity event. It\u2019s gonna be the most exciting thing to ever happen four days before Halloween! We\u2019ll be joined by Devo615 Allstars (a Devo cover supergroup, featuring members of The Shins, The Long Winters, Superdrag, The Raconteurs, Earl Burrows, Montessori Dads, The Pink Spiders) and ELEL.

So, you better tell your grandpa he should think about getting out of bed and warming up those legs, because I&#8217;m saying there&#8217;s still a chance! But seriously, why were all 4 grandparents bedridden? Especially because there was clearly nothing wrong with the grandpa, aside from a possible intense fear of pins and needles? Either way, <a href=\"http:\/\/soundmachinestore.bigcartel.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">grab a tape and roll the dice<\/a>.
