… but tour ruled anyways!  Thanks to everyone who came out to hang and listen to our tunes.  It felt nice.  Check out what the Austin Chronicle had to say in their Thursday preview:

“If there’s danger in being clever, it’s that people will mistake it for being cute.  It’s best to just be earnest, and Chicagoans Mittens on Strings took that tip to tape on last year’s instrumentally rich Let’s Go to Baba’s, which includes the song ‘Lou Reed Says’.”

We were hawking our new EP on the road, and it’s now on our myspace page for all you dudes and dudettes to hear.  Check it out!  http://www.myspace.com/mittensonstrings  We’ll have handmade copies of it to sell soon enough, and have some shows on the horizon.

Next club show planned is in June with our friends Secret Cities, who have a new album and 7″ coming out on the most awesome Western Vinyl label.  All ya’ll Chicagoans come out, ok?

Stay tuned for more shows, and more tunes posted to the site!
