EP out!

Heyyyy there,

Exciting news! After months of writing/recording/arting we've finally released our EP. It's a 6 track disc named after one of Jupiter's moons, "io." The moon (image below) has a beautiful name, but is probably one of the ugliest things you'll ever lay your eyes on (besides Michele Bachmann... zing! just kidding we all know she's hot).

Anyway, "io" is out, and we can't wait for you to hear it! Here's the tracklisting:

1. Roses

2. Stars (Keeping Your Words)

3. Soldiers I freakin' love how this song turned out

4. Do It Again

5. Don't Know Why (Norah Cover)

6. Roses (Philharmonic Mix)

You can get "io" on iTunes, and I'll leave you with this little thing:

Peace!

Sarah

Stars!

Hi!

If you haven't gotten a chance to hear our new single, check it out below! If you like it, share it! Youtube views are actually a drug. This song is one of my favorite off our upcoming EP called Io. It's a really intense song with (I think) a good message of optimism in the midst of intense frustration.

Also, it was really fun to make the video. We basically just danced around White Plaza in the middle of Stanford for an hour while random people played hacky sack, sax, or golf around us... Stanford is filled with some of the most amazing and random people in the world. I'm going to miss it.

Anyway, we hope you enjoy the song and video! Also, if you'll be around the Bay Area this summer, check us out in San Jose July 23rd. Tickets are $3 off with the promocode FINDING338 if you get them by the end of the week!

Love,

Sarah

2. We decided about a month ago to pull together an EP before graduation, so we've been in the studio nonstop the past few weeks working on it. The EP will consist of a couple of familiar songs, three(ish) new songs, and 2 or 3 remix tracks. The official release date is... July 19th! I know, kind of far away... but we def need the time to make sure everything is perfect. You'll be hearing my favorite track off the EP in the next week or two :)

3. Peter, Dean, and I are graduating this weekend!! A bit terrifying... Goodbye Stanford, hello rent payments!!

Ok, that's it for now... bye!

Sexy Sax Man

Yes. Best part is when everyone boos the security guard in the mall haha. Ok, so... wondering what FJ has been up to? SO MUCH. Hope you all got a chance to check out our acoustic cover of "Till the World Ends" by Britney Spears (posted below if you haven't). I have to admit - I really love the single. Finally, pop is just diving into electronic music instead of carefully tip-toeing around a couple synthesized beats. For that reason and because it's just such a simple, well-written pop song, I like it.

What else have we been up to? Here's the list:

-FREE MUSIC. Everything we've recorded is available for free download at www.findingjupiter.com/freestuff

-Norah cover (finally done recording/mixing, stay tuned for the release!)

-"Roses" recording (original we wrote earlier this year, laying down the track this month, wahoo!)

-GIGS. We've got a few coming up this month, so check out the "upcoming gigs" section on our main page at www.findingjupiter.com

Gotta love the sunshine,

National Marriage Boycott

Hey there, Sarah here.

I wanted to write a short post about an org I'm really passionate about called the National Marriage Boycott (NMB). The reason I love this group so much is because without it and the activism it has allowed me to do, I would have never felt empowered enough to sing about girls in front of complete strangers.

NMB is actually the only youth-led national LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender) rights group (pretty cool, eh?). The boycott is a coalition of allies and LGBT people waiting to get married until there is full federal marriage equality. Boycotters wear an Equality Ring as a symbol of their pledge, to start conversations, and to help build a community in which queer youth feel supported.

The first time I saw the Equality Ring was when I walked into a computer science section my sophomore year. No joke -- I immediately felt infinitely more comfortable knowing there was someone in the room who didn't hate me or think I was perverted just because of who I loved. I soon after decided to join the group and take as active a role as they'd let me :)

If you'd like to read more about the National Marriage Boycott or like the Equality Ring enough to wear one too, check out their site!

Yay love!

Sarah
