We're trying to get a spot on the Ernie Ball stage of Warped Tour this summer, but we need your help. Go to: battleofthebands.com/ettisonclio and play our song "Mexico City" from beginning to end and if enough people do it, we might just have shot at making that stage. Just an FYI, you only get one play, per computer, per day. So don't waste your time playing it 10 times, tell your friends! Thanks guys, it means a lot.

Just a quick one. We're playing in our old home town, Lansing, Michigan on Thursday. It should be some mighty good times. If you were at our last show at Mac's.. well then, you know. We're also thinking about getting a dance competition going during one of the songs.. maybe some free drinks.. hmm. For details go to our shows page. Hopefully we see a few of you late comers out there.

---

Well, we just got done recording our 2 new songs that will debut on The Beautiful Mistake split. We're happy to report that the tracks came out exactly the way we wanted them to. We couldn't be happier. Our love definitely goes out to Tim Bushong, his family, and Lucka (pictured left) for the great experience. We don't have a definite release date for the album yet but it will probably be by the end of summer. Stay tuned, this release is going to be pissed.

If you check out our shows page, you'll see we have almost finished booking our tour with Cue The Doves. We're FINALLY getting down to Florida as we know we have had a lot of requests for that. Once this tour is done, we'll have pretty much covered all the 48 continental United States. Crazy stuff, eh? Hopefully we'll see you guys out at one of the shows especially with the gas prices these days.

---

Our tour with Long Since Forgotten and The Weakend has been officially cancelled due to logistical issues. Sorry to those of you looking forward to the upcoming shows. We promise we'll make it out to those areas before the end of the summer. :(

---

The recording process went very well, we put in 14 straight days, at about 11 to 15 hours per day. I think we killed Jeremy, hahaha. He was great to work with and worked very hard, and as a matter of a fact he is still in Miami mixing the damn record so he for sure put in some time, and we love him for it! Plus thank you to Chip, Joe, Fred and everyone else at the Dungeon for all of their time, hard work, generosity and ears during the process.

SHOW CANCELLATION

Bad news, our friends in Man Alive are still stuck in Pennsylvania with van troubles, and are unable to make the drive to the show tonight at Headliners in Toledo, Oh. When the promoter found out that Man Alive would not be able to make it he cancelled the whole show. So if you really want to see Clio and Man Alive, we are playing thursday in Ann Arbor, Mi at the Olde Heidelberg. Once again sorry about the cancellation it was out of our hands.

---

A reminder! Our best friends The Beautiful Mistake have released their new record "This Is Who You Are" today on The Militia Group. Without question it fucking owns, so do yourself, us and especially them a favor and pay 10 dollars for the best record of the year. Then go to the show at the Shelter in Detroit April 14th to see Them, Us, Anatomy of a Ghost, Emery, and The AKA's.

---

Major show updates boys and girls, check it. For sure it has a few shows that you should go to.

P.S. Thanks to the crazy old veteran that grabbed Brian's arm and screamed that we had to unplug during our set back a few days back at the legion hall in Utica,MI. We felt like we were in the 50's trying to fight to play some rock and roll. Im sure we were called whippersnappers or something of the sorts a few dozen times....(show went over time they rented said hall for) We held out for a few more songs until the crazed ol boy took center stage and started screaming at us in the middle of a song. We couldnt fight him, we had to let him win that one.

---

We added some new shows, check em out. We're super excited for our headlining Shelter show January 7th.

Hey, attention to anyone planning on coming out to a show in the next couple weeks: PLEASE CHECK THE SHOWS PAGE. We've had a series of show cancellations due to a promoter quiting in Illinois, a venue closing, and we cancelled our shows next weekend because of personal reasons. Sorry to anyone planning on coming or to anyone who shows up and we're not there. None the less, you should go to Flint and check out Dirt Fest. There is an amazing line up of bands and it's going to be one of Kid Brother Collectives last shows. Those guys are unbelievable musicians, and great people who have helped us out in more ways then we can count. It would be awesome if you went and supported them one last time.

Also check back in the next few weeks for some tour dates in October and November. It looks like we might be hitting up a good number of states in the east and extensive dates out west.

-New STREET TEAM page Launched! Go and see it, then sign up!

-Show page seriously updated

-Tuesday June 3 through Friday June 6, lead singer Stephanie Gunther traveled to Eudora, Kansas to record with longtime Red House (now referred to as "The Black Lodge") producer / engineer Ed Rose. She was invited to sing by the band and good friends, Long Since Forgotten. They are currently finishing work on their newest release under Rocketstar Records, "Standing Room Only," which is due out early this fall. Stephanie sang on two of the band's tracks. The first song features Stephanie soloing on a verse and then harmonizing with LSF's lead vocalist Josh Coy on a bridge. The second track she is featured on is entitled "Euclid Crashed Today" and includes both Stephanie and Josh blending harmonies between the verses and chorus. "It truly was an amazing experience," Stephanie said after returning from her trip. "Long Since Forgotten is such a talented band, and Ed Rose was very helpful and fun to work with. He's got an outstanding musical ear, and the new recording is sure to turn some heads". While in Eudora, LSF's members and Stephanie stayed in the apartment above the studio, a cozy spot set aside for bands who come to the Black Lodge to record. "It was really cool to be staying right where they were recording, it definitely kept the band focused, and we were lucky enough to partake in some visits by members of The Get Up Kids and Hot Rod Circuit. The Get Up Kids are co-owners of the studio so they stopped by often, practicing for tour, working on side project material, or simply just to hang out. They were all really nice people." Sorry Steph, what are ya, hanging out with the Get Up Kids, having a hot dog or two?

Keep your eyes peeled for more information on Long Since Forgotten's new release, and once it hits stores this fall be sure to help out our friends and pick up a copy!

Long Since Forgotten is a four piece Rock&Roll band from Syracuse, NY. To hear some of their music, click the link below.

-24 new pictures added

We got the final mix of our new demo that we did over springbreak and we are super pleased with the results. Yeah, while our friends were partying in tropical environments we were in a basement in Jersey. Makes sense. We are going to post a new MP3 on mp3.com as soon as we can. Also in clio land we are in the process of updating the profiles and giving you a more in depth look at us band members (for better or for worse). Roop and cups also loaded some new pictures onto the "live" photo's section so be sure to check those out too. Last but not least our STREET TEAM page is up and running. Be sure to sign up and get all sorts of cool perks, merch discounts, free stuff, and that warm fuzzy feeling inside of helping us out. Alright, I'm out- I gotta go get my rig, fill it with a bunch of heavy noise-making equipment and drive across the state.

So there are two places on earth which Michigan is going to have a tough time reproducing. Those places are In 'n Out of the west coast, and now Hot Dog Hut of Jersey. The 'Belly-buster' hot dog.. are you serious? Well the recording went better than expected. We are anxiously awaiting the final mix/master. One of the songs 'Still Everything,' features the famous 'emo dog' Daisy. She can be heard also at the end of the new Further Seems Forever album, which we do recommand you get your hands on ASAP! As of now, we don't have any plans of putting the three songs into print, but we will most likely be placing one of the tracks on our mp3.com site. The street team page is almost ready to go, and if you haven't noticed, the merchandise page is now fully ready for ordering. Hope everyone has been getting their orders undamaged. We'll keep you posted and an email will be out shortly. Take it easy kids, hope to see you in the crowd this month.

---

Whats up everyone,
We leave March 2nd for Wayne, New Jersey to go and record 3 brand new songs. Chris Mizzone from Evelyn Hope (ex guitarist for Element 101) is going to be sound engineering the new Ep, we are very excited to be working with him! We will post a Mp3 as soon as we get back!
