We just finished up a new music video for our song, Soft and Slow…and here it is in all of its pre-MTV inspired video glory! Huge thanks to our friend Jeff Lundstrom for his shooting and editing skillz, and to the Double Door for letting us prance merrily around on their stage. And, of course, huge thanks to our good friends the Rolling Stones and their “Start Me Up” video.
This weekend we are getting together to start putting set lists together for next weeks SXSW and other tour dates! Can’t wait to get back in the van and play some shows with the dudes, should be fun times! Good bye winter and fuck off cold and snow! haha

If you haven’t already, become a fan of Treaty of Paris on iLike.com. We recently updated our page with new tourdates and songs from our latest EP. If you want, you will receive some handy email notifications when we post a show that happens to be near you. And then you can watch us play our music live, and maybe you could bring us some snacks…?
Here is the revamped iLike page. Complete with a pic of us in our underwear.
I watched the movie Psycho for the first time last night. It’s true! I have never seen it before, even though like everyone else, I have seen the famous shower scene and I was aware of the schizophrenic plot twist before watching.
It made me wonder how many people take the time to watch old classic movies, read classic books or listen to classic albums and songs when we are constantly bombarded with new movies, music, books and TV shows at all times.
If you regularly spend some time watching movies, TV shows, reading or listening to music, change things up every now and then. It’s fun to rediscover something that was created a long time ago.

St. Louis show info! Come out all you MO peeps
We have been practicing for our show next week in Chicago. The venue wants us to play a longer set so we went right to work: Tightening up the new songs, dusting off the old ones, maybe even relearning a cover song or two. All in all, I think we have something like a 17-song set planned.
After last night’s practice, one thing was clear to me: Standing for hours on end with an 8 lb guitar hanging off of me for a few days straight has made me feel very thankful for Icy Hot! I don’t know how jam bands can play for so long every night and still be able to get out of bed. Those guys must have suitcases full of Tiger Balm. Come out to our Mardi Gras show at Mother’s on Tuesday 2/16 and see the leaner, meaner TOP. Then, someone drive me to the chiropractor. I will need some adjustin’! – Dan
