Dates have been posted above for our upcoming spring tours. First we'll be making the trip down south to the annual SXSW festival in Austin, TX with some friends of ours from Albuquerque, NM called The Coma Recovery . We'll be playing a Radar sponsored showcase at sxsw featuring all the best of Radar Recordings (CONSTANTS, JUNIUS, CASPIAN) plus a ton of other incredible bands so be there.
Secondly, we'll be headed out on a west coast tour with some friends of ours from Salt Lake City, UT/Seattle, WA called Nine Worlds . We're really excited for this because we haven't been out west in years and we'll be hitting a lot of new places in the northwest. Some of the cities in CA aren't set in stone, so if you don't see your town on there and would like us to come, write us and we'll see what we can do. And as always, if you see a show you think you could help out on we could always use the extra help, so write us on here or shoot us an email @ [email protected] . Thanks, hope to see a lot of you soon.

After almost 2 of the most atrocious weeks of our fall tour we're deeming it the only appropriate name possible as the "problems" tour. This tour for us was by the far the worst we've ever endured as this band. From van problems, to shows falling through(shitty promoters), to blown guitar head(s), even guitars breaking in half, we just couldn't go on. We were both out of money and patience for it all we had to do what we deemed necessary to make it home in one piece and do just that; go home.
This disappoints us more than anything to be at home writing this but circumstances just wouldn't allow us to continue what we were doing. We're very sorry to all of you that helped set up the shows that we couldn't make and for those of you that planned to attend to see us. Please still go as Caspian will still be doing all the dates and they aren't a band you want to miss! Thanks to everyone who helped us out during the days we were out, we really appreciated it, and to everyone in the east, we'll be back out soon! Keep an eye out for news regarding the re-release of our EP via Radar Recordings for an early 2008 date. Thanks.

After 5 months of nothing too exciting happening in Adai HQ, we're very excited to announce that we will be teaming up with our very good friends and the wonderful crew that is Radar Recordings to re-release our debut EP titled "... I Carry". The re-release will feature the entire layout of Artwork done by the talented Seldon Hunt (www.seldonhunt.com) and is scheduled for a very early 2008 release!
We couldn't be more excited to join such a group of hard working people and artists that make up the core of Radar Recordings, if you haven't heard of any bands on there you're really missing out. Head over to www.radarrecordings.com or www.myspace.com/radarrecordings to check out some of the best music out there today!
Lastly, we're excited to bring in the fall by hitting the road. We will be touring all through October into November. We'll be joining with one of the most incredible bands and a personal favorite of mine called Caspian for a handful of dates along the east coast. Check them out, they have one of the most incredible live shows!
The tentative routing of dates is posted above, and as always we're still in need of some help on a few dates, so if you see an open date you think you could help with or even if you don't see your city on it and you think could help, shoot us a message and we'll see what we can do to make it happen!

Our new EP is Done!! Art turned out incredible and the mastered version is bigger than we'd hoped it would be. You can view some low res pictures of the album art at www.seldonhunt.com . We also added "Hawkins" and "Home" from the EP here on our myspace and also on our Purevolume. We made a limited edition pressing of 200 hand slikscreened versions of "...I Carry." and still have a few left, if you would like to purchase one contact us here or email us at [email protected]. We also just got home from almost a months worth of dates with our good friends in Constants and Junius, and we couldn't have had a better time out. Thanks to everyone who helped us out in any way on those tours, we really appreciated it!!

Things are shaping up quite nicely for the release of our EP "...I Carry." The EP will consist of 5 tracks clocking in at just under 25 minutes. The track listing is:
1. The March...
2. And Termination
3. Home
4. A Mark Of Ownership
5. Hawkins
Art is being handled by the very very talented Seldon Hunt. You can check out some of his past and current work at www.seldonhunt.com Mastering is being handled by Nick Zampiello @ New Alliance East Mastering and we couldn't be more excited about that. All in all things are looking good for the release. We're getting most of our gear problems worked out along with some other kinks we've been having some trouble with. Thanks to you that planned to attend Across Tundras tour kick off to see us and for being so kind about our situation and what happened. We hope to have all this mess of stuff sorted out and to schedule some shows as well as a cd release party in the coming months. Stay tuned for more news and new tunes up here shortly.

We just got back from our tour out to Godcity for the recording of our new EP titled "I Carry". Unfortunately we ran into some small van problems and had to cancel most of the second half of our tour and we're very sorry to those that helped with the shows and those who planned to attend. We'll be back out in no time to make all of those up. Recording went well, we worked with the talented Kurt Ballou at Godcity in Salem, Massachusettes, and we couldn't be more excited to release the songs. We did 5 tracks clocking in at around 25 mins. More details regarding release date, art, track listing TBA. Furthermore touring has taken a toll on us financially and gearwise so we will be taking the next 4-6 months off from touring and playing shows all together to get that situation worked out and to continue writing some new material that we've been keeping under wraps. Keep checking back for new tunes up in the next month or so, we'll keep you updated. Thanks to everyone that helped us out on tour, gave us food, shelter, beer, etc. etc. and to those who came out and just partied with us and stayed up with us til 6 in the morning just shooting the shit, you made these tours compeltely worth it. Thanks to Battlefields, Lye By Mistake, Sender Reciever, Empires, Cougar Den and Brian Rogers for being the raddest dudes ever!

2 years down, plenty more to go.

Last sunday marked our two year anniversary. We've been touring plenty and writing like mad since the beginning of this year and we couldn't be more excited to complete what we've been working on for ...
