For the release of the first single off Modern Dances, we decided that CDs just wouldn't cut it. Instead, we're releasing it as a download hidden inside an 88-page, 14-ending'd Choose Your Own Adventure book starring the band. If you make the right choices, the 3 songs are yours! If you don't, you might be killed by a wizard.
The book stars YOU, the new manager of TGSM, as you attempt to get the band to their show at the abandoned warehouse. When you arrive, there's no one to be found (it's abandoned, duh), and the band splits up to locate the gig. Which group will you join? If you follow sounds into the basement, tag along with Morgan and Matsu to page 10. If you go through the warehouse to the river, follow Melissa and Berger to page 12. If up the creaky spiral staircase is your choice, join Gliva and Pete, the lovable keyboard-playing hound dog, on page 14. But beware! The warehouse holds many secrets, and the choices you make may lead to success or disaster!

T-Shirt/Apparel
We are head over heels in love with Olga Korbut, the Sparrow from Minsk. And she is head over heels on our new t-shirt.
Check out Eryck of our favorite band Jackpot, Tiger modeling one! So nice, Eryck - so nice.
T-shirts are no longer screen printed - instead we are bleaching them with stencils! Same design, same colors, added hands-onsy-ness.
I don’t wanna seem so boring.
I don’t wanna waste your time.
I don’t wanna keep your story,
Acting like a little child.
Honestly, I’m worth ignoring -
Never gonna lay. Besides,
I would rather go exploring.
Ah-ah-ah-ah
I don’t wanna break your habit;
I would never be so bold.
I don’t wanna seem dramatic,
Just making your sad eyes roll.
Oh, tell me what I’m still lacking;
Tell me just what you know;
Tell me that I’m far too savage.
Ah-ah-ah-ah - HEY! But…
Wait – WAIT! [X3]
I don’t wanna be so boring.
I don’t wanna waste my time.
I would rather be exploring.
I’m aching to be racing, blind.
Oh, take me from the foreseen story.
Break me away from lyin’.
Faking it will make you boring.
Ah-ah-ah-ah!
I ain’t gonna ask no questions.
I ain’t gonna play as told.
I’m gonna run in all directions,
Shaking the dust off my bones.
Been living under an affection;
Been safer with the weight I’ve known
Can't settle in when I'm electric.
Ah-ah-ah-ah!
I wa-wa-won’t be phased
I got no lick of time
My la-la-leap of faith
Is all I leave behind
Oh, Runaway, away
I won’t be left behi-oh-hi-oh-hi-oh
Ah-ah-ah!
Tell me that I’m misbehaving.
Tell me that I’m just a child,
Wasting my time with chasing
Something I’ll never find.
Honestly, my heart is racing -
Aching with a faith that’s wild -
More than you could ever make it.
Ah-ah-ah-ah!
I don't want to make no habits
I don't want to rest my bones
Under white banners, stagnant
In the still winds of what's known.
Oh strip me from my common practice
Horizon, oh, call me home.
I'll settle when it's more attractive.
Ah-ah-ah-ah!
I wa-wa-won’t be phased
I got no lick of time
My la-la-leap of faith
Is all I leave behind
Oh run away, away
I won’t be left behi-oh-hi-oh-hi-oh
Ah-ah-ah!
Wait – WAIT! [X3]
I wa-wa-won’t be phased
I got no lick of time
My la-la-leap of faith
Is all I leave behind
Oh run away, away
I won’t be left behi-oh-hi-oh-hi-oh
Ah-ah-ah!
