Selling out to Sprite?

A month or so ago we got this weird email from Sprite. You know, the soft drink? They wanted to include a song of ours in a ringtone website they were making. They were offering us no money. Here's what's wrong with this offer:

-They claimed it was a 'not for profit' thing, and that's why they weren't offering us any money. WTF? It had Sprite's brand name all over it. Do they think we're retarded?

-Which band in their right mind will associate themselves with the Coca Cola Company for no money? It doesn't make any sense

-Along with the email they sent us, they accidentally sent us some past correspondence they'd been having with other Sprite manager people. It read something like

Goon 1: "Haven't had much luck in the states or UK"
Goon 2: "Don't worry, you can expect Australia, New Zealand and the Philippines to be paths of less resistance"



Dear Sprite, next time you ask us to associate ourselves with some random giant company, please offer us lots of money.

Camp A Low Hum 09 was AWESOME

We had so much fun playing at Camp A Low Hum this year. We played in the forest, and I played a saxophone solo and I was pretty much this guy:



We tried out a few new versions of old songs, plus some new tunes. We did a couple of mashups which was new for us and was fun. People got dancing in the forest. Thanks so much to all our friends and everyone who came and saw us, we really really enjoyed ourselves :D We even played that Weezer cover, which came out ok in the end.

But man Camp was great. Particularly loved Bonaparte and The Show is the Rainbow. Awesome international stuff. Go see them sometime!

There's heaps of video and photo stuff of us playing so I'll get it up soon :)
