The A.K.A.s (Are Everywhere!)

Greetings from Philadelphia!

It's been a little while since we checked in with you... after four months on the road, we were anxious to get home for a little break and get caught up on showers, sleeping in a bed, eating, and all the other personal delights that we all tend to take for granted. However, don't be confused as we had an AMAZING time on the road with our friends in The Phenomenauts. We had the chance to meet some awesome new people, so THANK YOU to those of you who we met for the first time, and for those of you who returned to rock with us once again. We hope to see you ALL again very soon!

Check out my brief photo essay from the tour HERE. More photos to be added soon!



We're also not planning on staying home for long... check our tour dates to see when we'll be in your hood. We'll be heading to Summerfest... doing the second portion of Warped Tour, AND.... (dun duh da daaaaaah!)... we're happy to announce... we've been invited to tour Canada for the first time with Anti-Flag! Yay! To all our northern friends who we've never had the opportunity to meet, we look forward to rocking with you shortly! Once again, check the tour dates for more info.

YES, YOUR VOTES DO COUNT:
For those of you who feel like one person can't make a change in the upcoming election... here are two examples of how your votes DO count.

#1) We asked our friends to vote to help The A.K.A.s win extra promotion and a spot on the US Cellular Emerging Artists Compilation CD for Milwaukee Summerfest. You responded in full force and... WE MADE IT! YAY! Thank you!

#2) Our dear friend Alex from STAY VOCAL was a finalist in an idea contest where the 1st place was $20,000. We asked you to vote in support of his ReUse idea and... HE WON! Once again proving... even being friend's of The A.K.A.s makes you invincible! haha. Click here to view his THANK YOU video! Alex will be joining us in some awesome campaigns this summer for Warped Tour, so stay tuned!

CELEBRATE:
To say thanks to all of you for your hard work... we're proud to announce that together with our friends at PureVolume.com, we're launching a 3 part "MAKING OF THE VIDEO" series for our song "Dead Flowers Forever." Part 1 is up now... and part 3 will be the final video. Go check it out NOW and stop by our PROFILE for some more fun goodies under the tree!

MORE GOOD NEWS:
To the chagrin of conservative republicans all over the nation, dozens of Gay couples exercised their new right to Wed yesterday in California. Viva Civil rights!

Speaking of conservative republicans... on the brink of a full blown economic meltdown and record high gas prices... George W. Bush recently admitted in the most begrudging way possible, that Global Warming might exist just a tiny little bit. Pretty soon, he'll start believing that dinosaurs once ruled the earth!

Also, in an epic display of common sense, mainstream news reported this past week that a vegan or vegetarian diet was an exceptional way to help conserve the environment! Duh!

NOT SO GOOD NEWS!
Our Trailer took a shit on the way home from tour and is now resting in a junkyard in Rawlins, Wyoming.
