** "The Sound (John M. Perkins' Blues)"
Today we released the music video for our second single off of Hello Hurricane, "The Sound (John M. Perkins' Blues)" on Yahoo! Music.  If you haven't seen it yet, check it out!  We are extremely proud of the efforts that went into this video, documenting the vision of John M. Perkins.  "The Sound" has also made its way radio, and we'd love nothing more than for all of you to request this track on your local radio station! Contact info for stations playing the track can be found on myspace. 
**Europe Recap
We want to start by thanking all of the fans and friends who came to our shows in Europe.  We had an amazing time.  The festivals gave us a chance to hang with amazing artists like Slash and Stone Temple Pilots!  Visit our myspace page for a blog update from the Download Festival, which includes photos.
**Bidfire Winner
We want to thank everyone who participated in the Bidfire auction.  It was a huge success and we raised over $22,000 for Stand Up For Kids. Congratulations to our winners, who will be joining us in San Diego to record a song and be our guests at Bro Am. All participants of the auction will be receiving an exclusive unreleased version of "Your Love Is A Song".  Stay tuned for more information on when you will receive the mp3.
