Sweden has been great so far. People are good. The band is good. Food is good. Stockholm was tops and so was the Fontrest record store. Special thanks to Claus for the Dearhunter vinyl. We love that record. We’ve also had great times in between in Orebro, Uppsala, & Malmo.
Oh, and I played the Norrtalje Prison yesterday. Surprisingly, my first time behind bars…..
One last thing to our Sweden fans, make sure to check us out on TV 4 on Monday, Sept. 26th for a special live broadcast.
In Sweden now. We were just pulled over by a large group of police officers in Germany, but for some reason, they let us go. The first week here in Europe has been a great one so far. After a few Holland shows and a stop in Hamburg, we are keeping on. Thanks to all for the support out there and a special thanks to Hans for making the badass barn doors for our stage show. See you all soon.

Take a look at the brand new video for “Drown”
On May 22, 2011, a tornado destroyed 1/3 of Joplin, MO and killed more than 100 people. The survivors need assistance to rebuild. In an effort to help and as a Missouri native, Israel is announcing today the release of Missouri, a collection of material featuring two brand new, never before heard tracks written and inspired by the tragedy. You can get all three songs for only $5 HERE. All proceeds go to The United Way’s “United For Joplin” relief fund.
