Your favorite Raisins and Chives will be performing this Monday at the famed Mercury Lounge. It’s one of those “see how many people we can bring” type deals where the club puts us on a funky time slot to audition us and our  fans.

So….show how obsessed you are with our good looks; come on Monday after work or school or en route to your next Urban Express delivery.

Something odd is in the air. People are having visions of our success. Says one friend, “i had this weird dream last night that you guys were playing vera and i was running the show, only teh show was at moma, and i got yelled at for getting coffee while you were loading in.” Coffee, MOMA and Seattle’s Vera Project: three things I need more of in my life.

Oh, that and I was known as “Kyla’s Little Brother” at a party this weekend. Some of my sister’s friends recognized me from The Facebook. It made me feel like I was in high school again, what with everyone saying, “bro, you know you’re cool because of your sis. Now come here and do this keg stand.”

My deepest apologies for not constantly posting while we were on the road. Once we left Los Angeles our days and nights were filled with endless walking tours, new friends, and of course great performances. Here are some pictures from the tour:

Ravens, ATTACK!

Some friends in Seattle actually made their own shirts. They’re the coolest.

While in Seattle I got to perform in front of some old friends and family at The Crocodile Cafe. This is the same club where Superdelux, Nirvana, and Modest Mouse used to play shows that I couldn’t see because I was under 21, thank you very much Seattle Teen Dance Ordinance. The gentleman on the left is the man, the myth, the legend, Barry Pollack.

By the way, San Francisco is cold.
