We’re thrilled that they’ll get their day in the sun, and we’re writing more for the next project as we continue to tour promoting the debut! Outliers EP: 1. Fake Baby 2. Devil Hides 3. Blanket 4.

I’m currently on the 10th floor of a hotel in Downtown Salt Lake City. Relaxing for a few minutes before we play a show later tonight. My good friends back home in Cincinnati have been working on this site for several weeks,  and now that its finished it’s even better than I had hoped! A HUGE shout out and thanks goes to: Kevin Bayer:  http://www.youyoureawesome.com & Julie Hill:  http://www.80percent.com I owe you two Skyline (amazing Cincinnati chili for you non- Cincinnatians). Julie also designed the tour poster for this month’s tour. I’ve been wanting a new site for a while now, something that lends itself to the way we’re most likely to use it. In a world of twitter,  facebook, myspace, blogspots and .com’s, I figured it was time to update. So here it goes. We’re going to do our best to keep this thing alive, but it will take help from our friends. Please check back often, and we’ll put a word out on twitter when there is new content as well. So follow @badveins. Thanks! Now I’ve got to see if this Temple I keep hearing about is in between the hotel and the club! -B 2009-10-13T00:10:49+00:00
