Hey!
We've got a handful of local and midwestern shows coming up, check out the shows page for details. We're also in the process of booking a bunch of regional shows throughout the early part of 2009.
Also remember that our newest EP, "Billions" is available HERE. There are only a few of the limited copies remaining!
We've been writing a bunch of songs just for you, and will be going back in with the world famous Carl Amburn to record them sometime around April of next year. Look for another full length album soon after that.
Stay tuned...

“BILLIONS” EP RELEASE
It is official, our Japanese released EP entitled "Billions" (Stiff Slack Records) will soon be available on itunes, at our shows, and physically through our site. We are quite excited about it, to say the least. The 5 songs on the EP were recorded with Carl Amburn at the same time we recorded the other 14 songs that eventually became most of the self-titled album. We've been playing a lot of these tunes at our shows for a while now, but here's your chance to hear them on disc, baby! In our opinion it sounds just as sweet, if not sweeter, than the self-titled record does.
To celebrate, we are doing an informal release show of sorts at the Uptown Bar in Minneapolis THIS FRIDAY, July 11th. Here are the details:
FRIDAY, JULY 11TH - UPTOWN BAR - MINNEAPOLIS
THESE MODERN SOCKS
SELF-EVIDENT
AH, VENICE
21+, $5, 9PM
Sweet bill, eh? This is our first and last TC show for a while, so we'd love to see ya.
And for those of you not in the Twin Cities, don't worry, we're doing another U.S. tour this fall. Keep checking our site for updates on those dates and the availability of the EP in the U.S. It shall happen soon.
For now, though, the EP is most definitely available through Stiff Slack's myspace, or by e-mailing Takuya . He rules.
You rule.
Stay tuned.

BEST. TOUR. YET.
After 16 shows across the entire eastern half of the US, we're home safe and (relatively) sound. You guys fucking rule.
Besides having to rebuild the transmission in Pennsylvania, someone trying to break into the van in Philly, and selling out of some of our merch, the tour went off without a hitch. Best freakin' tour yet. We're hungry to get back out, ASAP.
We played some great venues, met and hung out with some fantastic people, and played with the best batch of bands we've ever played with on tour, some old and some new to us.
We owe some serious thank yous. Here it goes:
You the showgoer, Andrew Johnson, Attack Octopus, Drop Dead Giants, Bear Claw and Scott Picco, Quatre Tete, Sleeping In Gethsemane, Rick McCarty, Pantz Party, No Aloha, {{{Sunset}}}, Laura Matson, Cottman Transmission, Kill You In The Face and Mike, Ale, and Adam, Frede @ Punk Rock Payroll, Company Corvette, Dangerbird, Greg and The New Hawaii dudes, We Vs. The Shark, Florida=Death, Hammer No More The Fingers, Joe and Slim's Downtown, Heather, Todd & Kelly Lemiesz, The Poles, Rocket Club Ken, King Tut, Dropsonic, 13 Day Mission, Gamenight, Josh and Brandon Manis, Chris Rusk, Castle Sunshine (Matthew, Josh, Nick), Stop Don't Stop, Over The Atlantic, Human Cargo, Victoria, Skies Fallen, Jake n' Mel, Mr. History, Kendall and Black Gasoline, Landing On The Moon, Fromanhole, Jodeen and Barry, Bryan Baxter and Massive Graphics, Traindodge, and of course....Riddle Of Steel.
If we forgot you, send us an e-mail and tell us what inconsiderate boneheads we are.
Until next time,
self-evident
