We're back from our midwest tour! Thanks to all the friends we've made and all the floors we've slept on. See the "Sightings!" section for lots of fun pictures of us rocking Detroit, Vince being sweet, and a dirty hot dog. Oh yeah, and Notre Dame.

Tomorrow we have another show coming up at the Big Horse, where you can buy burritos to either eat or throw at the band. There's going to be 4 bands playing so it should be a good time. Wear your spurs to the show, pardners.

Big show next weekend at the Corktown Tavern in Detroit Rock City... it's gonna be En Fuego! (pun intended). Actually this will be the first show since the big fire at the Corktown Tavern a few months ago so we're pretty stoked about that. All of you Detroit snowballs come out to the show!

Also the three of us have moved into a house where we'll be recording our upcoming album. Like our new Top Five? We totally copied it from the Pop Project!

Dude, new mp3! So hot right now. It's a rough mix of our new song "Back To Me" and it's sweet. Check it out!

Site redesign whaaaaat. On the one year anniversary of theabominablesnowmen.com we're treating you to this grand re-design. Pretty sweet eh?

What's new with us you ask? Nick's interviewing for grad schools, Joe's been watching the OC, Tim's working on getting into a law school, and we're all in the process of recording all of our new songs. We'll post them as soon as they're done.

We're getting seriously stoked about our midwest tour in April. We're also working on adding more shows too so if you know anybody in Kalamazoo, Toledo or Cleveland then let us know!

We’re coming back with a vengeance at the Mutiny @ Fullerton & Western. This is our first show in forever. Be there! (or we’ll make you walk the plank). We’ll have plenty of hot jamz and some pins.
