Ooooooooooo !! A new collection of Department of Eagles material is going to be released this summer, entitled Archive 2003-2006



And not just any old biscuits either - "back in 2004 Daniel had this period where he was making these beautiful little suites using NYU practice room pianos, and we've included a lot of those. Other stuff comes from a period in 2006 when we tried and failed to make an album at this studio in Berkeley, CA. Also there's also a song we recorded with Chris Taylor that's one of few fast-paced rage type songs we've done..." Rage? As in Dept of Eagles do Rage Against the Machine ??? I can't wait. Archive 2003-2006 is out July 19th in the UK/Internationally and 20th in the USA.

Ed's guitar sold for a cool $3670. Nice.

At some point, everyone's had a guitar like this one at home. Except this one was Ed's first guitar, and has been played on Sorry For The Delay, Horn of Plenty and Yellow House. By Ed AND Dan. OOOO.

For the fundraiser, Ed has also made this delightful T-Shirt which y'all will be able to bid on:



Marvellous. Get out your wallets and figure out a budget, because the auction starts on 15th March.

"Wall street journal"?? We're definitely not in Kansas anymore.

We know not why :(

All love to the band on their ongoing international tour.

The show on 4th Nov at Manchester Cathedral, UK has been converted to a standing event and a small amount of extra tickets have been released. I am very tempted, but skint, and have already spent £150 going to see them in Paris, mmm.

ATP are organising ANOTHER extra London date for Saturday 13th March at the Roundhouse, which is really quite a large venue. Beach House will be supporting and tickets go on sale tomorrow, wheyyyyyy.

hey, checked out their tour dates for australia. will they be releasing more dates later or are they not coming to sydney at all? seems like from melbourne they're flying right over us to brisbane then going straight to the west side.
