i saw them back in august at the kindercore shows here in athens.  the one you're talking about told a story about going to the
bowlie weekend that led to them signing on kindercore.  he met an american girl who lived in new york.  when he went to visit her he
met the kindercore guys and eventually cajoled them into signing them up.  i've seen him again recently, i think it was at the yo la
tengo show, so i believe they've been in town to record as was reported.
