Quick! Get a Quick! Smile Smile : The Comic. 0

Feb4

In the words of the great Hunter Hauk…”Having covered Smile Smile’s music from the band’s inception, we’ve always thought the rollercoaster relationship of members Ryan Hamilton and Jencey Hirunrusme would make a killer comic strip. Finally, with the participation of the two ex-lovers and artist Chad Thomas (who draws Quick’s “We’ve Never Met” comic), their story’s been illustrated.”

In you’re in DFW go pick up a copy of the Quick immediately! You can also see the complete comic strip HERE. We are SO thankful to Hunter Hauk, Quick DFW and Chad Thomas for creating this painfully honest and beautiful work of art.

“Beg You To Stay” Video. YAY! 0

Jan14

Hola Internet Users,

We’re VERY excited for everyone to see our brand new music video for ‘Beg You To Stay’ from our upcoming release Truth On Tape.

Maybe a little disturbing, maybe a little therapeutic (for me), but completely ‘magical’. . . . wow. . . . .  yeah, I said it.

;-)

We’d like to say a special ‘thank you’ to Jason Whitbeck and Yes Go Productions for doing such an incredible job.

Enjoy!

Thank You, Thank You! What a year. 0

Hello All,

It’s that time of year when everyone looks back. This year, looking back overwhelms me (in a good way). I dream of being able to live my dream, which is making music. THIS YEAR we actually got to do that for the first time. We had the opportunity to play shows with, and get to know bands and musicians that we were fans of before. It is unbelievable to me that we shared the stage with people like Loretta Lynn, Ben Folds, Metric, Mat Kearney and our new pals Bowling For Soup. Without these wonderful and talented people we wouldn’t be where we are now.

Also, the support of our fans, friends and family has been unbelievable. We couldn’t do it without you. For you to believe in our music and what we do means more than you will probably ever know. So, thank you. Thank you a million times. We love you all.

Here’s to an amazing 2010. A year when we get to release our new CD, Truth On Tape. A year that I’m sure holds lots of love and excitement.

All the best to All of you,
Ryan (and Jencey)
