We have been feverishly rehearsing here in LA to prepare for the live shows coming up in just a few weeks. While the European shows have sold out, the US dates still have tickets available. Make sure you check the tour dates below to catch any of the performances near you.
The MySpace page has needed a facelift for quite some time and we are happy to announce we have launched a new layout. More content and information will be added to the site in coming days and weeks, so stay tuned.
Also, it has been long overdue, but we would like to congratulate the BRAZILIAN ECHELON for this photo and being the winners of the Global Glyphics Assault Contest.
Don't forget this information listed in the previous Transmissions. Feel free to spread this info far and wide.

Weekly Picks From the Band
Book of the Week
Less Than Zero by Bret Easton Ellis is set in Los Angeles in the early 1980's. This coolly mesmerizing novel is a raw, powerful portrait
of a lost generation who have experienced sex, drugs, and disaffection at too early an age, in a world shaped by casual nihilism, passivity, and too much money a place devoid of feeling or hope.
Movie of the Week
Hunger was written by Enda Walsh and Steve McQueen, who also directed. The film follows life in the Maze Prison, Northern Ireland with an interpretation of the highly emotive events surrounding the 1981 IRA Hunger Strike, led by Bobby Sands. With an epic eye for detail, the film provides a timely exploration of what happens when body and mind are pushed to the uttermost limit.
Album of the Week
Fleetwood Mac - Rumors
"Had to include this for the romantics out there. This album was part of the soundtrack of my brother's and my youth. Does anyone remember having to flip the album over to hear the other side?" - Jared

Thank you so much to all the riders for coming out and joining us for the shoot. Your spirit, individuality and amazing community made this an unforgettable experience. The images we have seen so far are beyond amazing and that is all because of your participation.
We were blown away by the amount of people who showed up to join us. Positive attitudes, creative contributions, and good old fun prevailed.
From the very first ride over the bridge into downtown we knew we were in for an adventure. Taking over the streets, flying over the hill down into Santa Monica Pier, and owning Hollywood Blvd. were all incredible experiences. We were glad to have shared them with this wonderful group of people and their amazing bikes.
Can't wait to see you out there on the next ride.
- Jared, Shannon, Tomo

Bartholomew removes his hat, according to the laws, but another hat mysteriously appears; when he attempts to remove this one too, another one appears again, and this continues, even as he removes more and more hats.
Movie of the Week
The National Parks: America's Best Idea by Ken Burns is the story of an idea as uniquely American as the Declaration of Independence and just as radical: that the most special places in the nation should be preserved, not for royalty or the rich, but for everyone.
