SNL!

PRE POST SUMMARY:

WE'LL BE ON SNL ON 3/8!
WE'LL MAKE UP THE GIGS IN ORLANDO AND ST. AUGUSTINE IN JUNE (THE WALKMEN WILL STILL PLAY ON ORIGINAL DATES).
WE'LL PICK UP THE TOUR IN ATLANTA.
I GOT HIT BY A CAR.
TOM PETTY IS AWESOME.

Prose version:
We're traveling home tomorrow after an eventful UK tour. We were very excited to start our North American tour on 3/6, but something has come up.

We have been invited to play on next Saturday's (3/8) SNL, and were honored to accept! Unfortunately, this means we'll have to postpone our appearances in Orlando and St. Augustine and cancel our set at the Langerado festival. The Walkmen will still be playing on those dates. We are looking forward to meeting up with them in Atlanta and continuing our regularly scheduled tour. We will be back in Orlando and St. Augustine on June 7 and 8.

This all happened very quickly, so there will be more information in the coming days.

Also, many of you may have read that I was involved in a hit and run accident last night in London. It's surreal that that currently qualifies as a "news" item, but I would sincerely like to thank everyone who lent me their support and good vibes. I feel incredibly lucky to have sustained only minor injuries, and would also like to thank the Royal London Hospital (Dr. Lewinsohn!) for taking care of me. I'm currently recuperating with a steady diet of Nando's chicken and Tom Petty, who, appropriately, pointed out that even walls fall down.

Really excited for next week and the tour to come. See you out there!

Manchester and Glasgow Shows Cancelled
Current mood: BUMMED!

We're very sad to announce that we have to cancel this week's shows in Manchester and Glasgow due to illness. We were very psyched to come, but at least we'll be back in May.

We sincerely apologize to anyone who was planning on seeing us. Hope we can make it up to you in a couple of months.

Please send positive health vibes our way.

Best,
Ezra

We had some illness but now we've found wellness. We're back on track and on the road. Making our way from Jacksonville to Austin via one night in New Orleans.
