19 August 2008 - Well, the summer is drawing to a close and things are once again winding down for us. Our July tour went really well. We met a lot of great people, saw some great places, played some great rooms, and broke even. I certainly couldn't think of more to ask for. In case you forgot, you can read about the ups and downs of the tour here. We'd like to thank everyone who made the thing possible. I encountered enough generosity and genuine kindness last month to reaffirm my faith in humanity (at least until the next time I turn the television on). We all had a great time.

I recently finished updating several pages on the site, particularly the photography and media pages. We have tons of new photos from our recent shows and the tour. We also have six new videos I edited together for your viewing pleasure. The first four are live acoustic performances from our hotel room in Cleveland (the three Original Sin tracks and "Flag & Crucifix"), the fifth is a tour video I compiled and set to "Tow-Headed Boy," and the sixth I honestly can't explain--you just need to watch it. Head over to our new YouTube page to check them out.

As I speak, Myspace is very slowly uploading a new song to our page (click here to go there now). It's called "A Nervous Whistle To Keep My Courage Up," and it's the third track off the Original Sin single. We hope you dig it. By the way, we still have copies of the single left as well as new "Typewriter" t-shirts. Get in touch with us to get your hands on one. We will be setting up an online store soon to make things more convenient.

Right now, were concentrating primarily on writing. We will be playing locally and regionally this fall, so check back for dates and get in touch with us if you'd like us to play something you're putting together. Thanks once again to everyone who helped us out this summer.

29 June 2008 - Hello everybody. We've much to discuss. First, we are going on tour next month; the dates are posted here and on Myspace. We have (quite miraculously) fixed our bus and nearly every date is filled. If you can help us out with the few remaining holes please let us know. Joining us on keys for this tour will be Mr. Dave Van Witt of the band Sidewalk Dave. We're psyched to have him on board.

Just in time for this tour, we are releasing a three-song ep/single called Original Sin. We recorded it at home this month and have hand-made and assembled the packaging ourselves. We are still cutting, painting, and screen-printing them (and probably will be until the moment we leave), so if you have any cereal boxes you were thinking of recycling get in touch with us so we can use them. We'll be formally releasing the record on July 10th at our kickoff show at Cafe Nine in New Haven (click here for a flyer). If you're over 21, be sure to come out and see us off. If you can't make it, we'll undoubtedly be doing some CT/MA shows in the near future at which you can get a copy (although we are limiting the pressing). Beginning on the 10th, we will also have new t-shirts designed by Ian O'Neil and screened by J.P. Modderno. Click here too see them.

We'd like to thank everyone who came out to our recent show at the Space with Kevin Devine. It was Dave's first with us and it went swimmingly. If you were unable to make it or were unable to purchase one that night, we still have some of the Plastic Flame Press posters available (click here to see) as well as some from our show with The Low Anthem at P.A.C.E. and some of the ...Holy Ghost promotional ones. That's all for now. This should be a great summer. We hope to see all of you very soon.

21 May 2008 - See: I told you I would eventually get around to this. Today we launch our new website. I coded it over the past several months with the help of Topshelf Records' Kevin Duquette, who knows a lot more about design than I do and is conveniently awake at all hours of the night just as I am. Our aim in creating this site was to offer people interested in us a resource with content that is both more expansive and of better quality than is available on say, Myspace.com. Please browse around. We are still working out kinks here and there so feel free to shoot me an email (address at page's bottom) if you find any broken links or other problems. We're very excited to be able to finally make things like the extensive photo galleries, songs that aren't mercilessly compressed, and the very geeky recording logs available for those who are interested. We really hope you like the site.

Now, on to news. We've had a busy few months. We've been playing sporadically in support of The Holy Ghost regionally and locally. We've survived the winter, and now some changes are coming. The most important is the news that Mr. Alex Syner has moved to Boston this month to attend Berklee College of Music. As is the fashion in this band, he will not be formally "leaving" or formally "staying" with Aeroplane, 1929. Rather, he will be modifying his involvement and commitment levels to accommodate his new goals and geographical situation. No one ever really "replaces" anyone in this band. When changes like this come, it just kind of morphs into a new manifestation. We have some friends in mind who may be making appearances with us live, and Alex will be playing specific dates, but we will not be seeking to recreate the band of the ..Holy Ghost era. We have been writing and demoing some new songs and are looking forward to moving in new directions.

We want to thank everyone who made it out to the Play Magazine Anniversary show with the Walkmen. We had a great time playing. We are currently making plans and booking some local and regional dates as well as some longer tours for the summer, and our good friend Sal Feathers is working on a new shirt design for us. It's an exciting time of year.

Thanks to everyone for their continued support. Stay tuned for more details.

26 October 2007 - Next weekend, we are heading out for a three day mini-tour in Pennsylvania. It should be a lot of fun. We'll be revisiting some of the haunts we played on our last few tours and seeing some friends. Pennsylvania is difficult to spell sometimes ("P-E-N-N-S-Y...").

Click here for a flyer.

If you live in any of these areas come out and see us and let us sleep at your house!

9 July 2007 - Hey everybody. If you haven't heard, we put out a record this month. It's a six-song EP called The Holy Ghost, and we're very excited about it. It's available now through us, on iTunes, and in a few smaller retailers (Newbury Comics, etc.). You can also order it on the Topshelf Records website. Since our Pearl Street Massachusetts release show was cancelled due to circumstances beyond our control, we have rescheduled it for Tuesday, July 17th at the Florence VFW hall. Please try to come out. For $8 you get into an excellent show and you get a free copy of the new record.

In other news, we have a new member. His name is Alex Syner, and he's taken over keyboard duties for us. His solo work is astounding. I highly recommend giving him a listen. We put Mr. Syner to the test recently in a brief tour of the northeast, and he passed with flying colors. We will be heading out for another short tour starting after the aforementioned VFW show. We're also planning a handful of local dates and some mini-tours for the rest of the summer.

In addition to The Holy Ghost, Topshelf Records recently put out a new Northeast Sampler which you can purchase from us or from their online store. While you're there you can check out some of the other things we've got for sale: our debut full-length "To Persevere," last year's Northeast Sampler, t-shirts, new posters, and other cool stuff all at reduced prices.

Take care everybody.
