Congratulations! Can’t wait to hear the new record. Sounds like you’ve put a lot of heart and thought into it. January-ish release?

I am DYING to hear the new record! Also, I am PLEADING you to come to Utah! I know it sounds like it would be a pioneer ridden pit of despair, but I assure you it will be fantastic! I HIGHLY recommend Kilby Court!

Since we just brought up the tour, I have to ask out of curiosity: have you ever played any of the Texas venues listed? I’ve never been to the Granada Theater in Dallas, but the other two are great venues. Emo’s outside in Austin is especially neat, since it’s outside and has its own beer garden. I hope to be at all three Texas shows because it’s the end of my summer, and a friend and I are going to finish it with a blast. Why not?

Hope to see you there! We also plan to bring gifts for your Record Box collection, if that’s ok. If they’re poor gifts, you can regift them. No one will ever know.

I’m so so so so happy for you, Gareth.

TrentJuly 28th, 2009 at 3:17 pm

Oh yes PLEASE do come to Utah! That would be the best thing to happen to our little state all year! But I’ll be seeing you in Vegas either way. And I’m psyched about the new record!!!!

DianaSJuly 28th, 2009 at 8:37 pm

I need to see you guys at the Las Vegas show! It’ll be two days after my 21st birthday! (not that it matters much to me, growing up in mexico, I’ve already been legally drinking since 18, and illegally long before that). But I’m not an alcoholic or anything…
Yay, tour!

maddyJuly 29th, 2009 at 1:56 pm

I’ve just gone and listened to Xiu Xiu properly. Can’t believe I never listened to them before.
Can’t thank you enough. I owe you some kind of over-sized gift
