But for tonight, we're talking about ... US! Our new album is now available on LP <a href="http://www.weirdforest.com">via Weird Forest</a> and <a href="http://garrincha.bandcamp.com/album/life-is-wasted-on-the-living">Bandcamp</a>. You can stream the whole thing and even download at your price (or no price -- we don't mind) there.
If you're so inclined, hit us up via Twitter @StolenElk or email gse(at)weirdforest(dot)com.

In any case, after a little hiatus we are back in action. Our new album should be out in the summer, more details on that very soon but in the meantime, here is our very first release available for download on Bandcamp for however much you care to pay or free if you prefer. It was released on the excellent 905 Tapes run by Mike Haley. It's a bit rough & noisy but I'm quite happy with how it turned out. Enjoy!<br />

Sorry! Seems to be more convenient to update via Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/garrinchamusic -- like us!) but I will try to keep both avenues open as this blog allows me to post stuff that's hard to do on Facebook.
<br />
<br />Both tours were great. Met so many amazing people & played w/ excellent artists all along the way. Thanks to everyone that came out and everbody who played w/ us. Would love to do it again soon.
<br />
<br />Tonight is a hometown show in Sacramento @ Luigi's Fun Garden w/ the Polyps (Eggy Records), Carter Mullin (Reedbeds) and the Kevin Corcoran / Wes Steed duo. Should be excellent.
<br />
<br />We're also playing Sept 3rd in Davis, CA w/ Rene Hell and Earn. Most likely, that will be our last live show of 2011 as we focus on writing and recording.
<br />
<br />Reviews for Void are coming in ... will try to provide links to all of them soon.
