Happy Holidays everyone! So we have some very unfortunate news. We regret to inform you all that we have to cancel the last leg of our tour with The Stiletto Formal and Mexico Mexico due to our van breaking down. Fortunately, it happened at a convenient time (when we were coming home from Albuquerque on Christmas Eve), and we didn't end up getting stranded far away from home. We will still be playing on Jan 2nd in Lake Havasu at the Havasu Underground with Stiletto and Mexico Mexico, and also on the 7th somewhere in the Phoenix area with Mexico Mexico (more details on that soon). We want to say thank you so much to everyone who came out to the first half of the tour. We had such a great time, and appreciate you all taking the time to come out and support us during your busy holiday season. We also want to thank our best friends in The Stiletto Formal for rocking our arses every single night and being the best company we could ever ask for, and then some. Make sure you all go check out Stiletto and Mexico Mexico on the rest of the dates, you will be blown away!

So, in other news, we would like to officially welcome the newest member to the Not Quite Bernadette family, our best friend Robert, who is playing Piano, Organ, and Synth. He played with us on this last tour after only a few practices and was amazing, and we can't wait to start writing the new record with him now as an integral part of the band.

Speaking of, we will now be home for the majority of January and February to write our debut full-length, and we will be recording for the month of March. We will most likely play a few weekend shows out of town in February, to try out a lot of the new material, and we will also be playing in Phoenix, Arizona on January 29th for The Stiletto Formal's CD Release Party with Lydia, Awesome, and Fashion Music at the Modified Arts. Their EP, Masochism In The Place Of Romance, is one of the best discs to come out of Arizona, and will surely be on the top of the best of lists for 2005. Make sure you do NOT miss this show!!!

Well, that seems to be all of it for now. We would like to thank you all so incredibley much for giving us the best year of our lives. These past 6 months of constant touring have been an experience we will never ever forget, and we can't wait to hit the road for even longer after our record comes out. We really can't even begin to describe how grateful we are for all of you who support us, and how much we love you all. We have gotten to see the country and meet so many amazing people all while travelling around and doing what we love most with the people we love most. Thank you all so, so very much for that. Hope you are all having wonderful holidays, and have a fabulous and safe New Year. Keep in touch through email, we'd love to hear from you all. We will see you in 2005, and we can not wait!!!
