Wow. 2011. What a crazy year. Year of the Bynar indeed! We released an album. An interactive video. Lost a band member or two. Played a ton of shows. Got a bunch of good press. Ate lots of snacks.

After these couple of dates, we’ll take a break from shows for January and we’ll begin planning for 2012. We have a bunch of new material we’re itching to work on, places we’re hoping to go, and some projects we’re excited to begin. We’ll also be watching more episodes of TNG. I think at least two a day?
Thanks everyone for a great year! Hopefully we’ll see you soon, and if not, have a great holiday & a happy new year. We hope you enjoyed all the hyperlinks in this blog post.

Hi everyone,
Our show at T.T. The Bear’s in Cambridge next Wednesday night 11/16 will be the last one with our bass player Kiel. He has decided to part ways with the band to focus on other aspects of his life. We are very sad to hear the news that he is leaving. We’ve been playing with him for over four years now. He has been a fantastic band mate and contributor, but most of all he’s been a great friend. We love him very much and will miss him terribly. Let’s give Kiel a proper send off on 11/16.
Wishing you all the best, KARRRL!!
Love,
Matt, Ben & Mike

Hi everyone, today we release a free single + remix to get you in the mood for HALLOWEEN!
“Haunted House” is a track on our album that was remixed by the talented Sawtooth for this release. We love this remix and hope you will too. The artwork was done by Chris Piascik, an amazing illustrator based here in the northeast. Check out more work by Chris on his website and we highly recommend you follow him on Twitter & Facebook, if nothing else for his awesome Daily Drawings.
This single will only be available until November 1st. Like Halloween candy, it’ll be gone before you know it, so grab it now and if you feel generous, share!
Upcoming Shows
11/16 @ T.T. The Bear’s, Cambridge, MA w/ The Front Bottoms & Eldridge Rodiguez | RSVP on Facebook
Happy Halloween!

Yesterday we released our new interactive music video. It was viewed by many of our amazing fans. It was re-posted numerous times on Facebook and Twitter by said amazing fans, and also picked up by some blogs and websites. The peak came when news of our video was picked up by Mashable.com (which is pretty awesome). By mid-day, the video had been viewed by an OVERWHELMING number of people, which caused our site to run reeeeeeeaaaaaaally slow… like, almost die. By the evening, everything was loading at a snail’s pace, and it may as well have been dead. So we moved the video to another site. And now we are alive & happy again. As a user, you shouldn’t have to worry about a thing – just enjoy the video as you normally would. All the links will still work, etc. But it was dicey for a while yesterday, and we apologize if you experienced a load time that was really insane (longer than a few minutes). This video does take a while to load… just probably not that long.
Thank you for almost killing our site. Seriously. We just appreciate that people are watching. These are all good problems to have, we would honestly be happy if our site almost dies again 
Thank you for all your kind messages, re-posts, and retweets yesterday. Keep watching. Keep re-posting. You are all awesome.
Thank you!
