3/21/07 Hello!!!! We have some nice news! There will be 2, yes 2! LGS songs on the next episode of Grey's Anatomy airing this Thursday 3/22 on ABC. "All I Want From You is Love" and "Sideways" will both be played and look out for "Sideways" over the ending sequence. Can you believe Oprah's going to hear LGS?!

12/06/05 Man, it's been a while since we've updated. Shana's Dad acutally wrote in wondering what was going on....well what started out as a 1 week tweak in the studio to finish up the record turned into a 2 month crazy adventure, but we are happy to report that all songs have been mixed and the record is now finished awaiting release in the spring of '06. We can't believe it's actually done and that it will finally be born into the great big world. In the coming months, we'll also be revamping this website....

8/1/05 hello everyone, thanks for coming to sunset junction! Lots of stuff has been going on. Very exciting stuff.

1/20/05 Quite possibly the coolest website of all time has reviewed our demo! Go to http://www.soitditenpassant.com/and check it out. It's written in French, so if you need a little help, it says something like we are a little marvel coming out of LA and that living without us another moment would be an error.

Hello Everyone,

First off, thanks to everyone who has called in and requested let's go sailing on KXLU. They have been playing us a bunch.

We just got back from having an amazing time in Tucson and Austin! We played a show at Hotel Congress with the Silversun Pickups and then we played a party for the Ship at the Long Branch Inn in Texas. Hotel Congress was one of the coolest places to play. We got to stay there too and there were bunk beds in some of the rooms. Luckily not in ours cause I probably would have fallen out if I had to sleep in the top bunk. The SSPU van broke down in El Paso, a city our drummer, Ghost Tiger, claims makes strange things happen. We met a really nice guy who ran a Chinese buffet there while the van got fixed. His hobbies included swimming and playing piano. In Austin, we got to see all of our favorite LA bands at the very first Ship party at SXSW. It was one of the funnest parties ever for real.


1/31/04
