Since August of 2005, The Life and Times has played over 200 shows in support of their debut full-length release Suburban Hymns (DeSoto) on US tours with bands like the Appleseed Cast, Murder By Death, Pelican, Mono, Sparta, Pinback, Engine Down, and William Elliot Whitmore. In June of 2006, they headlined a two week tour of Spain in support of an eponymous split CD/10", both of which with urgent post-rockers from Barcelona, Nueva Vulcano (ex-Aina).
The Magician EP (Stiff Slack), their fourth overall release, is a fad-free snapshot of a band that’s constantly morphing from a dragon, to a butterfly, to blinding white light, to a bird, to Godzilla, and back again, often within the space of just one song. RIYLs don't do the band justice from a recorded or live standpoint, but suffice it to say that the sound on the Magician EP puts them in company with artists like Pink Floyd, Slowdive, My Bloody Valentine, Swervedriver, Built to Spill and just a pinch of early U2. In October of 2006 they headlined a successful Japanese tour in support of The Magician for Stiff Slack Records (Mercury Program, 31 Knots, Shiner, Mates of State), and then a US/Canadian excursion in November and December of 2006.

Caught you again @ the beach club the other night....dont remember much other than the fact that It was a superb show!! Well done sirs! Look forward to seeing you on the only night worth going to the Power and Light ever!
I've always like the song Hush, but for the past week I've had it stuck in my head - and you know when you get a song stuck in your head and it urks you and it's annoying...yeah, well not this time, I just rock out to it by myself and encourage my brain to keep repeating it. Shit.
Come down to Brick on the 22nd. if you guys don't have anything else going on. I'm coming down from Duluth to play at the N. vs. S. thingee. Not sure when I'll ever be in KC again. Love to buy you one (or two or three).
big a, i just got done watching life is pleasure and am jazzed by the whole thing. its so nice to know bands like yours exist strictly as a need to express music number one. the material since magician has just been getting better and better. its hard for us to afford gas to even play shows where few people go and where we seldom get paid but i know we are on the same page regardless of all the trends, etc...thanks for the continual inspiration...
