The Harder They Come

Hello friends,
Read Yellow has just returned from the absolutely fabulous time at the CMJ festival in NYC. New York is such and amazing place, and we've had the privilege to be playing and partying there consistently for the past few weeks. It is filled with many of our best friends and favorite bands to play with...It is nearly impossible to return home without a handful of amazing stories of late night debauchery at all night dance parties or sweat-soaked rock shows. The experience is incredible, you walk down streets that stink of piss and beer and perfume and coffee and noodles and gasoline and crepes and hairspray and leather and body odor and flowers and the sewers and the skies and it makes you happy to feel so damn alive. This city has a golden heart.

The shows that we played were incredible, we really felt it. We felt the people around us, and each show was a love fest. We had the opportunity to play with great bands like Some Girls, Das Oath, Chinese Stars, Goes Cube, Foreign Islands, Jake Brennan (total hunk), Scissors For Lefty and even had the chance to play dressed as three Slash's and a Zebra on Halloween in Brooklyn...(pictures to come).

It is really comforting to meet genuine people that are from totally different lifestyles, environments, and share a common love for living the fuck out of life. I felt so alive the entire time that I was there, and I have many people to thank for that...Most importantly, my band. We all love life and so should you.

We ended up getting our mastered album(Gang Violins) back from NorCAl and have been giving out two song samplers at our shows and parties(feat. Soul Sister! and Pia Zadora) . We are very proud of our hard work and we are getting right into writing our next album. We love you all and we want you to spread the word that music is still very alive and very real, and we bands must always continue to fight the good fight, the fight for a new Art Explosion.

be good to one another,
evan of RY
