a brief smile

Thanks to everyone who came out but especially to Matt from The Music Slut for DJing!  This was a great way to end this series of shows/releases!

Check out some pictures from our party on Thursday:

And here’s a video the guys from Wellness put together (featuring “for a while”)

i am writing here about our show last sunday in philadelphia - not my favorite cass mccombs song:

we’ve decided that playing outside new york city is awesome!! you can drink on the sidewalk…play ping pong before the show…and the soundguys are way less jaded (not necessarily better…but they seem to care more).  beer is cheaper and comes in far more varieties that we’re not used to.  philadelphia, we’ll be back!

drinking outside!!

Here are some photo highlights from Saturday night’s release party at The Delancey.  Check out the entire photo set here.

Before the show:

Spinning all night tomorrow will be DJs Rachael and Pat, two of our very favorite friends and bloggers:

Rachael runs this blog: The Underrated Blog
Rachael was the first person ever to write about A Brief Smile. We did an interview with her back before anyone knew what a ‘blog’ was. Remember ‘Zines’ kids!!! Well she single handedly ran Underrated Magazine before taking it digital a few years ago. She is also an avid Lost fan, like DL and Jared, and for the past three seasons, she has been brightening up our mornings with the “lost link of the day.”

Pat runs this blog: Pop Tarts Suck Toasted

Pat too is a fellow lost fan and member of the LLOTD email chain. His blog is super rad. Obviously, he does not toast his Pop Tarts®. He just completely ignores the directions on the box, opens up that weird space-age silvery plastic packaging and eats away. I have yet to ask him what his favorite flavor is. We played Pat’s CMJ showcase in 2007. He also has a showcase this friday at Public Assembly as part of the Northside Festival.

What to expect from their DJ sets:
Pure 90s hits mixed in with a myriad of current tunes that will make you want to ‘put on your dancing shoes.’ Oh and Rachael will probably play this song: YouTube - Weeds Season 5 Episode 1 - Flash Mob Scene
