THE VERA PROJECT

We're really excited to announce this show!

On Friday, February 18th, Us on Roofs will be playing at the Vera Project with some of the finest bands in Washington state. These bands include:

LAND OF PINES. Listen to them. They are honestly one of my favorite bands to see live these days. They are so passionate and their songs are so catchy, yet complex and well-structured. They're unbelievable. Do not miss this opportunity to see them live.

THE WARM HARDIES. If you miss getting to see Conservative Dad all the time, this should whet your appetite. The Warm Hardies is Matt Batey (of Con Dad) and Tamara Power-Drutis (along with Eric Anderson of Cataldo and Sean Lane, also of Con Dad). You will have an overwhelming positive emotional response to their live show, no matter who you are.

THE CAT FROM HUE. We've had the fortune of getting to play a lot of shows with these guys (not to mention the pleasure of having their guitar player, Wesley Williams, record our new song, "Fossils," for us!), and they just get better and better every time we see them.

Some more details about the show can be found here:

I sincerely hope to see a bunch of your beautiful faces at this show, if nothing else, so you can see the three marvelous bands we're playing with. I feel really lucky to share this bill with some of the most talented people I know.

New manager and plans for the future!

Greetings!

Lately we've been discussing a million things we want to do in the future. These discussions always foster a lot of excitement and passion, because we can't wait for all of the things that are coming. Here's a little recap of the best parts of our most recent meeting.

1. We have a new manager named Brianna Lantz. Brianna has been a friend of ours for a while now, and we are stoked to be working with her. We have a lot of trust and respect for her, and we know she will be able to help us do things that we can't do alone.

2. We have two really big shows to announce in the future! One in February and then one in April. Stay tuned -- you will not want to miss either of these.

3. We are undergoing some preliminary planning for creating Us on Roofs T-shirts on sale at concerts.

4. We recently recorded a new song, "Fossils," which we've been playing at all our concerts. We have some exciting news about the release of this song, so, once again, stay tuned.

5. We have THREE new songs! And we are really stoked about each of them. That means we have 5 songs that we're ready to record... hint hint. We're starting to talk about recording another EP. Possibly a summer release? We'll see.

As always, thank you to everyone who has been supporting us for the last year. Without you guys, we would not be nearly as passionate about our shows and songs and the like. And thank you to everyone who has just recently started listening to us after seeing a recent show like our Neumo's or EMP Sky Church shows.

Love,
Mikey and Us on Roofs

2011!

Hey all! 

We recently wrapped up our first year as a band, and we couldn't thank all of you enough for 

supporting us and helping shape some fantastic memories. While we're not fully at liberty to say 

what we've been up to, we can say that we have recorded recently and cool things are in the 

works! Keep your ears open and per usual, be well, and travel safe.

Love,

Us on Roofs
