So we landed in Chicago 2 nights ago after finishing off the best UK/European tour we’ve ever done- After being sidelined/off the radar for almost 2 years, we figured it was going to take some time & hard work to get back in the game - but thanks to the incredible international support and our Madina family - it felt like we never left.  *Crunkles

We’re currently on our way to Baltimore where we kick off the Me Talk Pretty tour~

It”s good to be back in the US and feeling normal again..  even though  Matthew’s fighting off several difficult longer-term affects from his incident, he is playing his ass off.  He blows me away every night (*sidenote- i initially forgot to put ‘away’ in that sentence- almost went to print before catching it last second- yuck ok moving along) cuz I know more than anybody what he’s really feeling and how hard he works to “mask” his pain.  Yet he insists we stay on the road and support WWIII.  I admire him more than ever.

Moving along..  turns out Mateo has been a bit exhausted from the tour and has some personal matters to deal with back home. For the immediate future we’ve tapped our dear friend Crispy, to take over guitar duties for the first round of dates.  Crispy hails from our close friends- the Chicago based band Comasoft (check them out athttp://www.facebook.com/comasoft, @comasoft).  We’re super lucky to have him filling in and are very grateful to his band for lending him to us- thanks gentlemen!  Anyhow.. come hang out on this tour - its gonna be fantastico - plus we get to personally thank you all for the support and of course so we can give you the best Madina show yet…  all the love in the world creepers :)
