The lads returned to their roots last night, playing New York’s Mercury lounge for the first time in over a year. The show was part of the annual CMJ music fest. There’s a few more photos here. Stay tuned.

Pela will be headlining the 10/23 CMJ show at the Mercury Lounge. Also on the bill is The Muslims, Frances, Blind Pilot, Hockey, and The Vettes. The lads will be going on at Mignight. For the rest of the schedule, check out the Mercury Lounge calendar. Since this is a CMJ show, it will almost certainly sell out, so get your tickets soon.

Pela was voted number 112 in KEXP’s countdown of the Top 903 albums OF ALL TIME as voted on by their listeners. Thanks to all of you who voted for us and thanks to KEXP for their support. You can show your appreciation for them by making a contribution to them during their pledge drive.

Breanna Wucinich has posted some interesting Polaroids on her Flickr page. Nice to see that Polaroid isn’t dead yet.

Hello friends,  

To all the people at the Seattle show that wrote…. Thanks for your thoughts, and yes Billy broke his foot. He should be out of commission and on crutches for 6-8 weeks. No worries it was a fantastic show and we enjoyed seeing all your faces again. It was quite a turnout and we truly had a blast. Thankfully the hospitals of Seattle are artist friendly and it won’t cause us any problems, but we met many interesting folks in the emergency room nonetheless. We will be in touch and we’ll see you all at CMJ in NYC! Be well until next time…

Seattle!!!

Thank you to everyone that came out to make last Friday such a memorable day, and thank you to everyone at KEXP for all of your hard work organizing the event (especially Amy).  As promised, below is the crowd project from the show.  If you were there, take a look and see if you can find yourself!

We’ll be back on the West Coast soon enough, can’t wait.

XOXO - Pela

We’ve just sent out a news bulletin to our mailing list. If you’re not on the list (shame on you), you can catch up with the lads by reading the bulletin on-line. Don’t miss it, there’s some good stuff there.
