Big ups to Florida for being super hospitable and awesome to us this past weekend.  We had a great time at each of the 4 shows.

If you didn't get a chance to come to the show, go check out US Royalty & There For Tomorrow.  They're both great bands.  US Royalty might be our new fave.

Check our myspace tomorrow for our newest video installment titled "Meet our Sound Guy".  It's the funniest one yet.  It has cameos by Envy on the Coast, Thursday, Mae, Sugarcult, and probably some more i can't think of right now.

Ft Lauderdale -> Atlanta = A Long Drive.  It's sleep-time.  Later.

Hey everyone, I know we've been AFK for a min, but we've got some time off this summer to start writing a new record!  We'll be doing this one the right way, and taking our time.  So in the meantime we'll be posting the videos we made from our tours in Japan, Australia, and Hawaii!  We've posted the first one so check it out!   We'll be posting a new one every week, so check back! 

Also if you live in Florida we will be doing a quick 4-show run through your state in a week or two.  It will be with There for Tomorrow and US Royalty.  Check them both out, they're great bands!

Whats up everyone?! I've got a quick update from the Cartel camp. We've just gotten home from Japan, Australia, and Hawaii and couldn't be in a better mood! We've met a ton of cool people in the last couple months, but we're already getting the itch to get out there again! So here's what we've got next.

We're putting together some east-coast small-club dates soon. It'll be a lot of places we haven't played in a while, so keep your ears open. We're also looking to do a small overseas stint after that. More news soon, I promise.

Until then scroll down to see some behind the scenes of our last UK Tour.

Hopefully everyone had an amazing Thanksgiving!  I had more dressing than Paul fucking Newman in the last couple days.  Ugh!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to everyone we won't see till next year, unless you live in Athens, GA!  The only show we're doing in the states until after January will be there.  Tickets went on sale this last Wednesday, so there are a decent amount left.  

Buy Tickets For Athens Here!!

Got a new video done and posted.  Check our videos to see it.

We have a cookout, hang out with our friends, and then quickly get bored.  Take a look at our recent photos for proof.  I somehow went from growing a 3 month beard to going completely bald...on my face even.  I'm gonna go edit some video stuff, and find a new hobby when I'm done with that.

Post a comment and tell me what you think..unless it's bad, then lie.

In Part 2 of Cartel's interview on DJ Rossstar's Punk Rock Show, Will and Kevin recall their worst wipeouts while performing on stage. The guys reminisce about the 90's TV sitcom Sister Sister, skinny-dipping in high school and even manage to fit in a quick game of truth or dare.

It's all here in this second installment. Let the chuckles continue...

Cartel on DJ Rossstar's Punk Rock Show - Part 2


In case you missed it, here is Part 1 of the interview.

In Part 1 of the DJ Rossstar's Punk Rock Show interview, Will from Cartel answers the big question: Does he look more like Aaron Carter, Lucas Grabeel or Larry The Cucumber?

The laughs continue througout the interview as Kevin and Will give advice on how to pay your rent while trying to make it in a rock band. They also discuss what happened to the warehouse that was storing the autographed Cartel booklets and what it's like being followed by a family van.

Trust me. You do not want to be drinking while you watch this because you will spit it out!

Alright guys and girls.  It's that time again.  "Lose It" is up for voting over at TRL and need your help to get on the countdown!

Vote For "Lose It" Here!

Thank you so much for your time.  It helps us out a lot having such amazing fans.

-Jeff

I posted the "Lose It" video again.  Sorry to anyone who tried to find it yesterday and couldn't.  I got a little internet happy (imagine that), and posted it everywhere when I wasn't supposed to.  Oops.

Me and the rest of the dudes are at home, in Atlanta, preparing for tour.  We leave in less than a week, and are all real excited to get back to work.  If you haven't bought tickets yet, hurry up because they're selling fast.  We're putting together a really amazing show for you guys, and can't wait to show you all!

See you soon, and take care.
Jeff
