New York, Philadelphia and How Cold War Kids Unknowingly Ruined A Set

What's up friends-

We are coming to you direct from lovely Brooklyn, NY and holy shit are we having a good time. It's always so good to be back in New York, and everytime we leave with a bit more knowledge of the city than we previously had! We got here yesterday after a long night of partying in Philly and a greasy Cracker Barrell breakfast (not a great mix), but we still made it out on the town last night. We brought our friend Ryan with us, because he's never been out here before so we had to show him Times Square, Central Park, and the other usual tourist attractions, but then we headed to the Lower East Side for a few drinks, which was great, especially when the sun is coming up when you finally make your way home!

Anyway, getting to the Cold War Kids story, we had just played in Philadelphia at Dr. Watson's Pub, which was really fun, and we made some great new friends and fans! We wanted to unwind a bit after our set so we headed into the adjoining pool room and racked up a game. We wanted some familiar tunes to wake us up so I threw some Cold War Kids on the jukebox. Little did I know that the music was also being pumped through the PA in the other room, while the band after was playing!! No wonder we started hearing people yelling in the other room when I started the music. I, of course, slipped into the shadows to avoid detection and luckily I did. But now it's public, so to the Danny Lynch band, I apologize as I'm sure the quiet harmonies you were singing would have sounded better without Hang Me Up To Dry pumping through the same speakers!!

Well, we are off to go promote around SoHo for our show tomorrow at The Annex, which we are really excited to play. We'll catch up with you soon and let you know how everything goes! Until then, it would be fantastic if you could help us out by clicking on the pic below and voting for us!!

Cheers,
Mike
