    • Helloooo. We’re playing with the English Beat this Thursday. For those of you in the Bay Area who couldn’t get tickets for this one, come see us on February 16 at the Independent. We’re going to play a couple new songs from our next album at that show for sure. Click on “tourdates” for more info.

      Love, Loquat

    • Hi. It’s been a while. We may have been MIA for a minute, but we have a bunch of new songs in the works for our next album, so there’s a good excuse. We’ll probably start recording them for real by early spring (we can only hope). But we’re excited. Stay tuned for shows in early 2006.

      Love, Loquat

    • Hello hello... Our show with the English Beat in SF is sold out, but there may be tickets available at the door on the day of the show (Dec. 15 at Red Devil Lounge). In the meantime, we’re writing songs for our next album, and we’ll be playing live more in the New Year.

    • Hello. Tickets are on sale for our show with the original line-up of the English Beat Dec. 15 in San Francisco. It’s a small place and will sell out before long, and it’s likely to be our only show for the rest of the year (while we’re writing new music). To buy tickets, search for Loquat at www.ticketweb.com.

      Also, you can get our remix of From Monument to Masses’ “Comrades and Friends” on the band’s new album, Schools of Thought Contend (Dim Mak), in stores now!

    • Hi again. We’ve locked ourselves in our studio so we can write music for our next album. But we’ll be back to play live before the end of the year. In the meantime, feel free to drop us a line and say hello....

    • Hi, we’re back from our Pacific NW tour. Even the ridiculous moments were fun (who knew Christopher could eat so much bacon in one sitting?), and now all we want to do is come play in everyone's town. Stay tuned for a couple blogs on our Myspace page about the tour.

      If you’re in the Bay Area, please come see us at the Great American Music Hall this Saturday with Citizens Here and Abroad, Ex-Boyfriends and DJ Bagel Ted. This is our last show for a while, as we're working on writing/recording our second full-length album.

      Love, Loquat

    • Hi... Just wanted to share a new bit of press. Don’t know if we deserve this, but we certainly appreciate it! http://www.sfexaminer.com/articles/2005/04/20/entertainment/20050420_en01_keep.txt. We will update our press (in the bio section of the site) shortly. And we are preparing for summer touring plans, but in the meantime, you can get our new album, It's Yours to Keep, in stores now.

    • Hello! Thanks to everyone who came out to see us at our record release party last Saturday. We didn’t expect it to sell out so early, so we’re very sorry to those of you who came by and couldn’t get in. But we’ll be playing again soon in SF, and we are planning on going out on tour this summer, so please stay tuned....

      Our album is now out in stores. You can order it online at www.amazon.com or at your local store. Tower, Virgin and Amoeba are good places to check. But you can also ask your local store to order it for you.

      Love, Loquat
