Our incredible song "Over It" from our incredible self-titled debut was recently featured in an episode of "Cougar Town," the popular Courtney Cox vehicle. I didn't see but I'm told it was during a scene in a bar or something and you could tell everyone in the scene was really excited that our seriously good song was on and also they wanted to have intercourse with us.
In other news, this is from a little while ago, but our hit song "The Door" from our newish album "Semester at Sea" was recently featured as NPR's Instant Gratification Song of the Day. You can read all about it and hear it and stuff right here.
In still other news, Phil and Dave recently recently recorded and mixed 15 songs in one day at Headgear Studios in Brooklyn with Tomato from Sound of Urchin and Moby, international rock music person, for a hard rock super side project called Diamondsnake. Diamondsnake will make their live debut June 17th at the Highline Ballroom in New York City.
And finally, if you live in Germany, Austria, or the Czech Republic, look for Dave playing guitar with the Walter Schreifels Band in those countries May 14-23.
And, of course, while all of the above is happening, Valley Lodge is working on their third incredible album.

Congratulations to John for winning a 2009 Emmy Award for co-writing the opening number that Hugh Jackman totally sung at the last Oscar Awards. It is John's second Emmy. How many people do you know with two Emmy's? Not many I bet. John has made the Emmy Awards his bitch at this point.
Dave recently composed original music for the new Lance Doty directed Spaghetti Western "Shoot First and Pray You Live (Because Luck Has Nothing To Do With It)." He is pretty much counting on winning an Oscar for this and if he doesn't he is not going to be cool about it. Just give him an Oscar. How hard could it be? It's just a goddamn trophy – make one extra while you're at it. Dave is also currently playing guitar with the Walter Schreifels Band. Check for dates here.
Phil is touring the UK this December as the frontman for Tragedy, a heavy metal tribute to the Bee Gees. If you live in the UK and don't go see them, you are an asshole. Check tour dates here.
Eddie is currently touring as the bass player for Gordon Gano and the Ryans. You can totally see the legendary Violent Femmes frontman along with Eddie and members of the Bogmen for about the price of four or five really expensive coffees, which is still pretty reasonable. Check tour dates here. Eddie is also going to be a father soon, a direct result of having had intercourse with his wife. Sorry, ladies.
