If you haven’t heard of Lance’s amazing show on VBS, this is a good chance to check it out. This episode called “Family Portrait” chronicles the lives of an amazing group of artists, musicians, and all-around creative powerhouses that surround the Family Bookstore in LA (where we played our first show!!). Our music is used throughout the piece, but you can see us play live in the store at the end of Part 2 during the credits (above). This was a special unannounced show (filmed by Lance and Spike Jonze) so it’s pretty special that it’s here to check out. Enjoy!!

Hello! For those of you that have been wondering, here’s another report on the various goings on in the world(s) of The Sads. First off, it looks like our Berlin EP is finally going to be released! Yes! We know, it was recorded over a year ago, but we all got busy and sidetracked and well, you know, these things take time. Anyway, we’re hoping to have it out early in 2010. There are some mumblings within our ranks that hopefully some sort of tour will follow that as well. We’ve got lots of ideas. Stay tuned. In the meantime, on the solo-projects front…Aska is currently in the studio in Los Angeles recording her first solo album. It’s going to be really amazing and includes guest performances by Nick DeWitt, Lucky Dragons, Flea and more!! here’s a photo we snuck the other night!!!
