fakeproblems:
This is some pretty sexy stuff. We’ve been nominated for an MTV Woodie Award, alongside some pretty amazing acts (Childish Gambino, fun., Cloud Nothings, Lana Del Rey, Cults, and a bunch more).
Voting for this is open to the public, so we’d love it if you guys would help out by voting and spreading the word. This is some pretty steep competition so every vote counts! THANKS...

portijon asked: Dearest Chris -
There's always been talk of "that one show" where you guys played to a room of very few people and switched all your songs up to reggae.

Anonymous asked: Hey Chris! can you talk about how you guys pick opening acts for your headline shows. Did you guys pick Laura Stevenson and Pomegrantes cause you guys were friends already or was it cause someone recommended them to you guys? thanks for answering the question.
teddydothroar asked: Did you have to give permission for the ADT use on the Kardashians show? Or did they just... kinda... do it.
