hey everybody! 
we’ve got some news!

we are not pregnant.

but we’d like to be…know anyone good?

jk. anyway, we’re leaving for another europe tour soon & we’re fuckin pumped!!! i just dropped an apple core in my bra. cold. we’ve got only a few holes left to fill on this tour…i lost the email that tells me which ones those are…i’ll find that soon because we’d love some help from y’all if you know anybody! all shows will be with the magnificent Sissters from Berlin!

in the meantime, we’d like to formally invite you for a round of FUCK YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!s as we welcome DRUMMER NUMBER NINE (let’s say “9 to 12”…i’m losing count over here) into des ark, Mister James-Roman Joshua Nee. i call him “m’lady,” but if that makes you wanna hurl, you can call him Josh Nee. josh currently plays in Thou, who we love. this is just super rad, because he loves to dance. i think? i actually barely know the dude, but i’m pretty sure he loves to dance. 

for the record, this does not mean goodbye to Johnny Ward (pygmylush); we are looking forward to writing and recording with johnny in the conundrum of future space & time, but he’s been off surfing in hawaii (no lie, we thought we’d never see his ass again). he’s back, but has other commitments with pygmylush at this time! which means: go see pygmylush! 

here’s what i know about josh, either from talking to him or snooping him on the internet (creepy, i know. please don’t judge):
-he plays in thou
-he has a cat named “Dude” (me too! i can’t believe this) 
-he is an aries 
-he DJs an 80’s night in baton rouge. i went to it. it was good.
-he doesn’t bring “No Surrender” (from born in the USA) to 80’s night. that part about him…ehh…not so cool.
-he seems excited about my idea to power chug a half gallon of euro coffee then go play dress up at H&M
-he loves to go on tour
-he eats meat but also enjoys eating vegan
-i bet his favorite food is pizza, since he’s late to mid 20’s/in  a punk band
-he wants to play music all of the time
-he’s very nice and easy to communicate with
-he has a lot of tattoos
-he seems to like to wear a baseball cap
-according to youtube, he knows how to play at least one black sabbath song
-this man is not scared of fun.

& that concludes our profile of josh nee. 

i’ve updated the tour section & will keep it updated as things keep happening. there will likely be a brief 1-2 week solo europe tour to follow, so if you’d like to help with any of that, please be in touch with our pal Mika, who is setting up these awesome shows.

also, one more thing: we don’t hate drummers, but drummers just keep having babies or getting real jobs or buying houses and shit like that. i would say “…or buying houses and shit like that…not my problem!” but, it kind of *is* my problem. know what i mean?
