On April 22nd we had a blast performing for such a welcoming crowd, opening for our brothers Hundred Hounds who killed their set.
We want to thank everyone who made it out to the show from far and wide. Always great to make new friends!
Here are a few select shoots from the night:

Merry Christmas to all of you, we want to inform you that we've just launched a pledge campaign here: www.pledge.com/goodbyemotel to create some vinyl for our new album 'iF'.
We love the tactile experience of listening to music on vinyl with the full scale artwork at hand, and we to share this you all. We also want to give tribute to Storm Thorgerson who created the artwork for 'iF', a man who's created some of the most icon artwork in music for Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin. So if you head over to our pledgemusic site, you'll be able join our campaign, and receive your own copy of 'iF' on vinyl. There are also a bunch of other packages you can pledge to receive on our site.
The night is upon us; tonight we celebrate the release of our new album 'iF'. Completed over two years, recorded in Melbourne (AUS) and New York City, and finally mixed in London. We're super excited to finally share this collection of songs with you, and are more than honored that the great Storm Thorgerson completed the album artwork for us.
Tonight we'll have physical copies of the album for you to take home with you.
Recently we did an interview with MusicTimes.com, talking about 'IF' and the process of completing this album. We go in to detail about where the band name came from, our 4D Live Music Experience and how we got to where we are now.
"I think it's a lot about taking risks and following up on something, completing something, and really going through with the ideas in your heart and mind," Enström explained. This is something the band members themselves experienced when making the decision to pick up and move to the United States.
