CYCLE! A SHOW! DEMOS! SOON! M!X!ING!

I'm trying to break the cycle of posting for a few weeks and then taking 8 months off.

Small Reactions is playing our last show of the year (probably) on the 27th of November at the 529 along with Red Sea, Hear Hums, Freak Heat Waves, and Perfect High Fives Everytime. You should come see it. It's recommended, I'm sure.

Finished tracking last weekend with Luci for our as yet untitled LP just in time for a long, lonely winter of mixing. M!XING!

I'm also going to be posting some more of those mixtapes along with some SH demos if that's to yr liking.

In any case, talk soon. scottyollyollyollie.

IT'S GREAT TO BE HERE…ON YOUR TUBE

New Song from Scotty Hoffman feat. Abel Hoffman

This is a song recorded one afternoon while I watched Abel Hoffman, age 2. We both played drums and sang, and he also set the delay on the guitar and played the hell out of a tambourine.

This is what the inside of our house frequently sounds like.

By the way, Abel is obsessed with the Ramones. And not even in a cute way, but in a super cool one. He already has that uncontrollable Stereolab swivel-headshake whenever he hears them.

Take it Deedee:

The last thing on the tape.

December 8th-13th: Shark Week Tour!

Hello!

First, thanks to all of you who we've seen recently. Remember that time when we played in our basement and the power cut out and that huge spark left Scotty's microphone? You mean your head was turned? Oh, well! That happens all the time at our house. You'll catch it next time.

It was a pleasure playing with Washed Out at Emory and the Save Criminal Records benefit couldn't have been better. No sparks were present in our basement for the Criminal records benefit, so maybe it doesn't happen every time? Oh, well.

But, I started this blog to let you know that, next week, we're going on tour. We loved New York over our 4th of July tour, so we thought we'd like to see it in the winter, too. It's going to be cold. But, hey! We've got some new tunes to share.

For the Atlantans or "ATLiens", this kick-off show will most likely be our last local show until at least March/April of next year. We're taking a short break because 1) we played out in abundance this year and 2) we are going to finish writing and recording our first LP. So don't miss this!

For the tour, this is what we've got planned:

December 8: Atlanta, 529 w/ The Romans, Mediocre Machine, Easter Island
December 9: Athens, Go Bar w/ Thick Paint (Graham from Reptar), Fuzzbucket
December 10: D.C. , Velvet Lounge w/ Ra Ra Rasputin, Height With Friends
December 11th: Brooklyn, Shea Stadium w/ Caged Animals, Phone Tag, and SoftSpot
December 12th: NYC, Cake Shop w/ The Hairs, Pale Lights, We Can't Enjoy Ourselves
December 13th: Philly, Little Bar w/ Alien Father

We love all of you and look forward to seeing every last one of you at these shows.

Good evening!
