Nov 05, 12:13 PMVan and Trailer Stolen, But The Show Must Go On!Hey everyone,
We awoke this morning in Philadelphia to discover that both our van and our trailer had been stolen from the parking lot of the hotel we were staying in. Needless to say, this was an absolutely devastating discovery! All of our instruments, equipment, merchandise, and many personal items are gone. This misfortune has fallen among many of our friends in the past and we suppose that after touring for 8 years this sort of thing is bound to happen. However, we will be finishing the remainder of the (a)fternoon Tour to the best of our ability! We have four dates left on our tour and will play the shows with the help of our friends in Deas Vail and Jenny Owen Youngs.
It's in these moments that our fans lift us up and remind us why we do what we do. We thank you for the immediate outpouring of love and support. If you would like to help us out, you can make a donation using the button below or by clicking here.
We love you!

Nov 03, 11:20 AMNew Song "Seasons" Online Now!Hello everyone,
After a brief delay, we are proud to announce that our October song is finally online now at whatismae.com. Please head over to the website, check out the new song "Seasons," and make a donation!
"Seasons" is much different than anything we have released this year. It is a story about relationships in time. It is a dance between a day and a year. And it is the music of a birth, a life, a death, and a rebirth. It is about cycles that we experience in our brief stay here on Planet Earth.
"Seasons" is designed to be experienced simultaneously as sound and image. When you listen to the song, follow along with the digital booklet that is included in your digital download. Each image in the booklet coincides with a section of the song. As you listen to the song more and more, replace the images with those that you create.
Our greatest hope is that you have been inspired by our year long project in 2009 and that you make a commitment within yourself to be
the difference you want to see in the world. That is the greatest multisensory aesthetic experience you can have; a life well lived and
full of love.
Take this coming year and make your own story out of pictures. Use this song as your soundtrack and show us your world.
We love you!

We are currently partnering with Donorschoose.org to help teachers receive the supplies they can not afford to make each educational experience fun, thorough, and priceless. This time, if we win, we will give all of the $10,000 to Donorschoose.org and to teachers in need!
