so were back in Chicago finally.  Once you hit November it’s widely known that touring slows down quite a bit and we’ve had a pretty long run of US European and UK dates so we’re excited to get some time off to regroup.  We get to play Metro Sunday which is where ML started 4 years ago.  Ironically over the past 4  years Chicago is one of the only cities in the world that we rarely play.  One of the issues we’ve struggled with is that we’ve done so much international work that we’ve inadvertently cheesed our own backyard. Well we’re here now and gearing up for a killer show so anyone in the area… come hang out. After this show we’re gonna chill for a few weeks (mateo is going home to columbia, matthew is going to borneo to hang out with gibbons, my gf and I are going to w.palm and jeezy is going through puberty).  then we get to go back to Japan to headline Osaka and Tokyo on December 15th and 17th respectively and after thaaaat we’re gonna begin writing our 3rd record until we have to leave for tour yet again.  We expect some announcements real soon about the UK and US dates to kick off next year.  Otherwise - i hope you all are feeling fabulously about your lives and i’ll check in soon.  ohh and if you want one of our lovely new hoodies/tshirts etc.  head over to http://www.gomerch.com/madinalake for some holiday deals. and if you need half price METRO tickets go here http://www.editurl.com/5im
