We are currently in the studio working on our 3rd full length album. The recording is at the halfway point and going really well so far. We are recording at Type Foundry in Portland with our friends Adam Selzer and Dylan Magierek who are doing an amazing job. Lots of new sounds to work with, this will be our most varied album to date. Pictures and video of what we’re working on is soon to come!

We are doing a benefit for our friends in Haiti who were affected by the earthquake that struck last week.

The line up will be:
Nick Jaina
Tu Fawning
The Builders and the Butchers

The cover is a minimum of $10, but of course you can give more, the entire door is going to the cause.
All of the tips from the bar and 20% of the bands merch profits are also going to the donated.

Doors are at 8pm

Hope to see you there!!

We will be doing a short west coast tour this January, visiting some of our favorite places, and some new ones too, check our shows section of the page. Also thanks for KEXP for having us play their big benifit this weekend in Seattle. KEXP is hands down the best station in the US, and it was greating meeting all of the volunteers that help make it as amazing as it is. Also thanks to our new friends The Grand Hallway, The Cave Singers and The Thermals for being all amazing people and making the night so special!!

So we’ve had a bit of a rough tour, each having various levels of the flu, mixed with a drive to denver for cancelled shows only to be stranded in a snow storm, a new van that has a bad habit of stalling out when we go less than 10mph, and a 3 hour traffic pile up last night as we got into Albuquerque. It would all be pretty rough, exept for our good friends in Denver, Boulder, Los Angeles, San Diego, and Albuquerque who have not only put us up, but fed, and given up their showers for us. On a regular tour these things are nice, but on a tour such as this these favors become monumental. We miss our friends and family at home and wish you a happy Halloween, this being the 4 year aniversary of the first shows of the Builders, we appreciate all of the people who came out to the shows in the begining and those of you who still come out, we are honored and thankfull to have you as fans.

Brand New canceled the show due to illness. We are now going to be playing at the Medowlark tonight at 11pm! See you there!!!
