Aloha!

We really have no right to say "Aloha" right now, since it's about minus 10 degrees here in cold and frosty, Illinois... but, we're going to keep the dream alive anyway.

Today, on this fine Sunday evening, we've got a handful of news to alert you about..

RELEVANT PODCAST PERFORMANCE:

While we were on tour last Fall, the kind folks at Relevant Magazine came out to our show in Jacksonville, Florida to record a couple of our songs live for their RELEVANT Podcast. We played stripped down versions (just an acoustic guitar and voice) of our songs "Umbrellas" & "Heaven Breaks." That podcast episode was just released this week, so if you'd like, please download it for free at:

(or you can subscribe to the Relevant Podcast via iTunes)

NEW PHOTOGRAPHS

Also while on last Fall's tour, a very good friend of ours named Samantha Lamb (an incredible artist/photographer!) was kind enough to take our pictures. They were taken at a beautiful park near Samantha's home-court, Oklahoma City and it was just a ton of fun to work with her! If you'd like to take a look, we just added a bunch of them to our MySpace Page, our Facebook page and of course, our website (www.sleepingatlast.com)

A huge thanks to Samantha for taking these pictures.. she is awesome and we definitely encourage you to visit her website to see and/or buy her truly beautiful art and photography: www.samanthalambphotography.com

INTERVIEW FOR "WRECKED FOR THE ORDINARY"

Ryan recently did a short interview with a cool web-zine called "Wrecked for the Ordinary," so feel free to take a look-see here:

LIMITED-TIME SHIRT SALE:

Lastly, we've put a couple Sleeping At Last shirts on clearance. We're selling these until they're gone to make room for tons of new merch coming in. As always, we do not reprint shirts, so once they're gone they are gone for good. These two Sale Shirts are called: "Black Sun" (not to be confused with "black hole sun", by soundgarden..) and the other is cleverly called "Green Blur Type." They are on SALE for only $8 ea. (which includes shipping!) and are only on sale, via this link:

Well, it's time for us to get back to work on that new record of ours. Thanks very much for reading! We hope the rest of your weekend is wonderful.

Love,
Ryan & Dan - Sleeping At Last

P.S. A few of you have reported to us that our last newsletter (sent earlier this month) never made it to them, so for those of you that never got it and are interested in checkin' it out (it includes an overall update on the album as well as our best of 2008 lists!) you can read it here:
