Dear Friends,

We made it home safely. After trekking around the midwest in a rented 12 passenger van (with one seat removed), it is fair to say we are changed men. We saw many things and made many friends, but we also faced many obstacles. The road made us tough (except for Eric).


Tough Guys from left: Chris grunts, Kyle intimidates, Steve crushes, and Fraser takes us to the gun show. Eric cowers off camera.

Thanks to all of the bands, venues and friendly folks who helped to make all of the shows possible--and to everyone who came out, listened to us play and had a very reasonably priced beer with us. Our parents can rest assured that we ate, drank and slept well.

Since coming home, we've been gearing up for a special NYC show! Jezebelmusic.com has selected The Secret Life of Sofia to be their August Feature. They've written some nice words about the band, taken some new photos of our collective handsomeness (see one below), and there's even a video interview coming soon (with an exclusive rooftop performance of "Outside")...

The show is this Thursday, which also happens to be Eric's birthday! Come celebrate:

Thursday, August 21st 8pm | $8 | 21+
Union Pool 484 Union Ave, (Williamsburg) Brooklyn NY
w/ Mancino (10pm), Beat Radio (9pm) and No Eye Contact (8pm) | The Secret Life of Sofia headline @ 11pm

After this show, we'll all be taking a little vacation time. When we get back we'll be working on some new songs, which we hope to debut during CMJ week in october! In the meantime, we've freshened up our myspace and facebook players with some different tracks for you to hear... and remember, if you haven't picked up Seven Summits yet, you can order it directly from us or from Insound.com!

See you soon,

The Secret Life of Sofia: Kyle, Eric, Steve, Fraser & Chris
