Born Ruffians

As you can see on the right side of this here page, we have just posted our tour dates for the fall in Canada and the United States. One date in particular to take note of is October 1st, as that's when we will play our long overdue makeup show in Pontiac, Michigan. I'll make sure Luke takes his vitamins and does his pilates so we don't have to makeup a makeup show.



Also, we're releasing a new EP on September 30th featuring Little Garçon as the single. It'll include a few never-before-heard ruffians songs as well, and some remixes, depending on which version you pick up (all versions are winners in my eyes). Here's what I'm talking about:

Or die! Not really, but vote or don't vote I guess is the option. We prefer vote.

I'm talking about this by the way - the XM Music Awards, featuring us ruffians up for best group and best album.

I think you know what to do. And if you don't know what to do, just vote for us.

Place your vote here.

P.S. New shows to be announced soon!

It's been a while since we've put fresh ink (or whatever this stuff is made of) on here, but it's only because we've been busy with... well, not much besides some lovely summer mischief.

To be fair though, we did just get back from touring pretty solidly since nasty, ugly February. But now it's gorgeous pretty July, and we're looking forward to this summer. We do happen to be playing a few shows (check to your right), and we'll be back on the road to the States, Canada, the UK and Europe come Autumn. Those dates will be posted soon, f'reals.

But until then, lets just talk about summer plans and stuff.

You go first.
