One of the best things about being on Deep Elm Records is that we have a link to The Appleseed Cast. Here we are with Chris Crisci at last week’s show.

It’s Spring sale time! For just a few days, we’re offering both of our CD’s for only $10. That’s two for the price of one, more or less. Downloaded music is cool and all, but for those who prefer to own the real thing, here’s your chance.

We’re playing Noisepop 2013 on Sunday, March 3 with Caspian, Native and Boyfrndz.

Reminder: this is an early show. We go on at 6pm sharp. See you there!

Check out a new video from our show at the Elbo Room last month. Thanks to Squire Films and Bourgeois Productions Presents for their great work!

And, we’ve got a couple of very cool shows coming up. Next up is a Noisepop show with Caspian. March 3, at Bottom of the Hill in San Francisco.

See you soon!

Thanks to everyone that helped make 2012 so great for us. Lost Causes has popped up on a couple of Best of 2012 lists:

The Alternative Tone and Popblerd.

Update January 12: and Team Reasonable.

It’s an honor – and a little unsettling – to be listed amongst so many great artists.

We have tons of shows and a bunch of new music to unleash on 2013. Can’t wait to share it with you!

Finally – we have t-shirts for sale in our web store. Big thanks to Lucija Kordic for the awesome design.

We Were Always Loyal to Lost Causes is presently celebrating its one month birthday. One of the best parts of the last several weeks has been reading all the reviews that have been popping up in internet land. We’re truly humbled by all the positive feedback. And we’re still waiting for the first real stinker (go ahead, we can take it!). A few snippets are below. Click hear to see the gory details.

Absolute Punk: “We Were Always Loyal To Lost Causes is as a close to a perfect post-rock album as you can get.”

The Big Takeover: “music this intricate and delicate is not made in a hurry  …an impressive record of powerful beauty”

Dagger: “The Dandelion War is in no hurry to get where it’s going; taking time to put forth layers of beautiful guitar and distant synthesizers before Larry Fernandez’s swooping vocals take us on any of several journeys.”

7BitArcade: “To say that this album is moving is an understatement. Prepare to be soothed, to be crushed, to be inspired.”

And, as a reminder, you can buy the digital album from Deep Elm, and physical CDs straight from us.

We’ve got a handful of shows coming up in the next month or so, and we’ve got some others in the works that will be announced soon. Check here for a full listing.

First up, is Friday, September 28 at the Rickshaw Stop in San Francisco.
