When you purchase the album, $2 will be donated to Oxfam America, an international relief and development organization that creates lasting solutions to poverty, hunger, and injustice. Oxfam's focus on broad advocacy and local relief for the impoverished is inspiring and we hope our support brings more awareness about their projects and goals.

Hello All,
First off, THANK YOU to everybody who came to the benefit on Saturday in Cambridge. It was a night of wide-ranging emotions, but it was wonderful to see such a supportive and enthusiastic crowd filled with friends and familiar faces. An extra special thanks goes out to Vampire Weekend, Tokyo Police Club, and the Middle East Club for helping to make it all possible. THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!
In other news, we are all back home for a few weeks, taking a break after months of touring, writing, and recording. The album is finally finished being recorded, and the year is winding down. It has been a hectic autumn, so we just need to recharge our batteries and rejuvenate so that we’ll be ready to hit the road with The Virgins in early ’08.

Welcome to our new website (Thanks Tyler, Albert, and Vanessa)! We know that we’ve been pretty stagnant for the past year with our online activity- so this time around we’re going to try to keep on top of the updates in order to bring you, the faithful RRR friend or foe, up to speed on whatever exciting or mundane adventures we are up to. As of now, there are a couple photos, videos, blogs and what have you, but over the next few months those things will expand and develop as an ongoing dialogue with friends and fans. So, make sure to check back at least semi-frequently!
In other news: we’re back in the studio- which is partially why I’m going to have to cut this short (I think I might have to go shake a shaker or tambourine or something in a minute). We are eight days away from (what we hope will be) the completion of the album… which means it will hopefully be ready for your enjoyment sometime in April or May. We are very excited!
