Fearless Music is an awesome studio in NYC that broadcasts live music on a local cable station. Some of the bands that have performed on Fearless: Brian Jonestown Massacre, Juliette and The Licks, Shiny Toy Guns, and now....MINK. We had a great time playing in the studio. It was filled with all these vintage guitars and amps. Here is a shot from the performance:

Leaves are changing. The air is getting cooler. We met up this afternoon in Williamsburg for lunch at a little cafe on Bedford Ave. called Bliss. Autumn in New York is incredible.

-MINK

MINK plays the famous "Pianos" in the heart of the lower eastside, what a way to do a show just like SXSW all over again crowded load ins and busy bars, 20 min change over 25 min set, the adrenalin was on, heres some live shots capturing the spirit of the performance, Nick ps thanks to all the lovely people who saw the show.

-MINK

after our Whirl wind US tour we are back in New York doing showcases at CMJ heres a shot of our first gig back at the Club Midway, it was fantastic to get all hot and sweaty again for you.

-MINK

Tonite was the grand Finale both bands had a chance to play together during the Satellite Party Set, it was amazing to play with Perry live onstage, plus the end of tour shenanigans were outrageous, Neal dancing in his underwear and stuff like that.

-MINK

After 2 months on the road, we wrapped up the tour in two of the most beautiful cities in the USA: San Diego and Las Vegas. San Diego is filled with perfectly tanned people and white sand. Las Vegas is a neon-lit dream world where no one sleeps. Our friend Ducky was nice enough to plan an "end of tour" party for us at a club called Tao in Las Vegas. The DJ spun a blend of early Michael Jackson, hip hop and funk classics....we danced til dawn. Here are some shots:

Today was a scorcher. We whipped out our short shorts and beach towels under the Phoenix sun. Ate some quality hummus, bathed in the heat and played at a wonderful record store named Zia's in Tempe. Cool! Thanks to everyone at the Martini show too, what a blast..

Today we played for the Virgin Megastore head office, Neal cranked out the guitar hero controller during the set which stirred everyone up we were very happy to brighten up everyones day in the office. In the evening we donated and signed a MINK drum head and a pair of Neal's gold pants worn at Emo's in Texas and New Orleans, followed by a short set in the cafe. Peace Nick

Today we traveled 30 miles from LA to Pomona to play at The Glass House. Before the gig, we went shopping at a vintage clothing store which had a large supply of cowboy boots and denim vests. Thanks to eveyone who came out to the gig and supported us. MINK

Playing LA Weekly's Detour Festival was loads of fun. After our set, we met three amazing girls who were all wearing candy bracelets. We discussed the bracelets for awhile, then decided to form a gang called The Motherfucking Candy Bracelet Gang. It's not the most intimidating name on the planet, but I love it. There were so many great bands playing tonight, including Turbonegro, Bloc Party & Justice. It was so cool to hear a different band whenever you turned the corner. Here's a picture of The Motherfucking Candy Bracelet Gang. Be afraid!!!!! - neal/MINK

-MINK xxx

Back in LA! Ahh, it feels good. Tomorrow we have the honour of playing the LA Weekly Detour fest with Bloc Party, Justice and Satellite Party. Two parties in one day! Today we hung out at the music.com offices and met with the lovely staff. Neal tried to prove that he doesn't resemble Mick Jagger; to no avail. Thanks music.com!

-MINK xxx

Today was a fun filled adventure with Perry and Satellite Party as we played a little hut in Santa Barbara in the morning where both band performed MINK and Satellite Party songs together, another proud moment to play with Perry. The evening was unreal the venue was huge and it was great to meet some MINK fans in the crowd.

-MINK xxx

Santa Cruz was just what we needed today. We took a long stroll on the beach, neal sat in a lamborghini, and then we got lost so neal and stella decided to hitchhike back to the bus. Good Times!!!!

-MINK xxx

San Francisco is one of our favourite cities in America im so glad we we were given a chance to come here. heres a couple of shots from todays Apple Instore appearance

-MINK xxx

What an amazing and eventful day in San Fransisco. It was my first time in this clean, vibrant city. We performed 2 flash mobs with the Satellite Party gang; first at Spin HQ and next in front of the Virgin Megastore. What an extreme honour to play with Perry and his band. Great American Music Hall was beautiful too, checking out San Fransisco as we speak and getting ready for the Apple Instore! Be there!

-MINK xxx

We are all stoked to be in California right now I love it here. The west coast is the one our favourite places to be! Last night in Sacramento was one of the wildest crowds on the tour Neal put on an exceptional show and we killed t-shirt sales. The whole day was documented by Undercover TV which be posted on youtube soon, I can't wait to be in San Francisco and down the coast towards LA. Nick

-MINK xxx

Today i discovered a place "Bizzare Guitar" that also sold guns and amo right next door, a famous spot that many famous musicians have stopped by to gaze at the collection and purchase some of the worlds best collection of Gibson Les Pauls, it was now Mink's turn to check out what they had and i was amazed to see a real 1959 les paul which was worth around 300,000 big ones, id like to say a personal thanks to Shannon for showing me the vault Our show at the Club Undrground will be leading us to the sunny days of the Californian West coast i just love it there Cheers Nick

-MINK xxx

Today we got into SLC to do a live interview/acoustic performance at 88.1 KWCR Radio. Thanks to Brad for being so cool to us today. Later on we did an instore performance at Gray Whale CD Exchange and got to hang with our friend Natalie from Universal/Fontana. We dig Utah and hope to be back soon.

-MINK xxx

Spent the day travelling from Spokane to Salt Lake City. Visited a traditional japanese restaurant with a soundtrack comprised solely of M.O.R pop song. Nice. Then we hid out in a coffee house for a nightcap and went back to the bus for a supernatural guitar jam. All in all it was a tremendous day! Tomorrow we perform on KWCR and visit the Grey Whale for an instore performance at 7pm. Be there or be pear (shaped)!

-MINK xxx

Emo's was the sweatiest sexiest gig to date im saying 100 degrees onstage!!! It was punkrock and the crowd loved the show... it was insane. Check out the pics.

-MINK xxx

The Big Easy. An Interesting name for a venue.. it had walls covered in guitars and rock memorama, a decent sized room allowed us to stretch out a bit with the volume which is always fun. It was our first time in Spokane and we met some lovely people who wed love to see again next time around.

-MINK xxx

On our way back from Vancouver, we stopped to play a couple tunes at MSN Headquarters. It was a cool stop because I met a few people who worked on the website for Rockstar: Inxs, which is the show I was on in 2005. After the show, we talked about XBox for awhile...I am a self-confessed video game addict, so I was curious to hear about the release of Halo 3 for Xbox 360. It was a great day! -neal/MINK

-MINK xxx

WOW! What can we say about Vancouver? It's an awesome city with amazing people. Stella and I started by visiting 99.3 with Perry and Etty. Next, we did a flash mob at Fluevog shoe store. Afterwards, Stella picked up the most incredible red boots on the planet. Words can not do them justice, so you'll need to look at the picture below. I had a pretty bad cold yesterday and I was worried about singing, but once we got onstage, it was all cool. Stella took the a picture of the crowd at the Commodore last night because they were so amazing. We can't thank you enough and hopefully we'll be able to make it back soon! - Neal / MINK

-MINK xxx

We had a blast in Seattle hanging out with Satellite Party, Bright Eyes and The Used at End Fest. Got to watch the Pumpkins play (nice treat) and I snapped a quick shot with Bright Eyes. For the first time, I look comparitively conservative in this photo. Grant is pictured here immediately after Satellite Party's set smiling maniacally at the audience. Great festival, lovely crowd and the bands were smokin' hot. See you in Vancouver!

-MINK xxx

As we pull into Portland Oregan we notice the change of scenery and general vibe of the land, so to speak. It made us feel like messengers as we stand on the balcony in the store over thousands of records playing our MINK acoustic set. it was a pleasure to indulge in what the store had to offer musically, after the set. Nick

-MINK xxx

Today we have trekked across the desert of Utah to make our way across America to Portland Oregan. We stopped on the side of the road to make our first episode of MINK TV that will be aired on Fuse TV mid Oct. heres a couple of behind the scenes shots. cheers Nick

-MINK xxx

Hey guys, yesterday we were in beautiful Aspen, CO, for a gig at The Belly Up Club. It was a great intimate show and we had a blast. Thanks to everyone who came out to see us, and hopefully we'll be back in a few months. Rock on!!!

-MINK xxx

Heya!!! Denver was awesome...we played at the Gothic Theater for the 2nd time in a couple months. But a couple hours before the gig, we stopped into the Apple store and did an acoustic show with Satellite Party. Special thanks to the Apple staff for being so amazing. They even played our podcast on the big screen while we were playing, which was surreal. Here's a photo from the afternoon. Next stop: Aspen. -neal

"As a life long New Yorker, I have passed Union Square countless times, the front steps usually occupied by a mixture of skaters and NYU kids, but this time, the clamor and bravado of MINK washed over me as I stepped out of Union square station. The force of the music was so that the normally jaded passerbys could do nothing but be entranced by their vibe. It was frikken awesome!" Jeremiah Alexis

-MINK xxx

Ah, kind of home. We arrived into JFK this morning on limited (rather inhuman) hours of sleep. Nick and Stella took to the streets in search of any available (legal) excitement and checked into their luxury hotel; looking forward to a stationary bed tonight! We're in NYC for 2 days ONLY to play a free, outdoor show at Union Square Park TOMORROW! Be sure to get your tight little behinds there around 3pm (or earlier for the Virgin/NYU festival). See you on the streets! Woo!

-MINK xxx

Yes Folks we are still in Orlando Florida and its bright and sunny quite reminiscent of Australia's Gold Coast which made all the fellow Auzzies feel right at home, especially Grant. Today we explored the Orange County Convention Centre Surf Expo alot like Paddy's Markets in Sydney but showcasing every product involved extreme water and land sports. Curly Girlz have made some exclusive limited edition skateboards with our MINK logo on it, we are all seriously stoked!!!

-MINK xxx

Hey guys, we had a blast in Orlando. Went to the beach for a swim and to get tan, then headed to the Virgin Megastore in Downtown Disney for an outdoor performance and signing for some lovely people. Thanks to Kim for the great photos and to the Virgin Staff for being so cool to us. See you soon.

-MINK xxx

Hey everyone...Atlanta was awesome. Earlier today, Grant and Stella visited 99x and hung out with Peter, Bjorn and John. Later, we did an acoustic performance at the Apple store. Our new friend Erica drew this awesome picture of us as owls. I don't know about you, but I've spent many sleepless nights wondering what I'd look like if I was an owl. Now the question has been answered. We want to thank our new friends and fans in Atlanta for being so supportive. We hope to see you again soon. Neal..

-MINK xxx

I have to say we have come across some of the friendliest people in the country who truly justify the terms of "southern hosipitality" Firstly we played at radio 99X, heres a shot with our buddy Mike, then we hit up the local indie record store "Criminal Records" which had a great selection of vinyl, cds, dvds, comics, cool magazines and a fantastic staff. our finaly activity of the day was playing a show at Center Stage we had a great time talking to all the friends and fans, we set records at our merchandise store.. Stay tuned for more apple store performances.

-MINK xxx

Some may be aware that we are back in the van for a few days to make a few adjustments with the 007 bus. A long drive in the sun today took us to the Orange Peel, yet again another great venue and a great town, great vibe just walking up the street. Neal and i went to eat Sushi before the show. Sushi is fun! heres a shot from the gig ..

-MINK xxx

Today we had lunch with Nicole from PETA and shared each others veiws on animal rights and what we can do to help create positve solutions to help stop cruelty to animals.

Hey Folks after our first experience in Philly we set off in the Van to Baltimore, the whole time i thinking of the Frank Zappa song called "Whats New In Baltimore". Our first stop was an instore performance at a cool alternative indie record store called "The Soundgarden" my first question was it named after the obvious? so we crammed into a little corner and gathered some more people to the show tonite at the Rams Head, i have to say we totaly enjoyed the stage and production here, GREAT STAGE and onstage sound!!, any way heres some pics from today to prove it. signing out Nick..

-MINK xxx

Of course we ate philly cheese steak before the gig for dinner! after an epic day/night/ morn schedule in New York city we farewell off into the lands of America to play outrageous Satellite Partys

-MINK xxx

Oh my god this was one of the best gigs weve ever done, the crowd was one of a kind, the special hometown show set the night alight and welcomed us off into our next half of the Tour.

-MINK xxx

Its an amazing concept, a live rock band in an Apple Macintosh store!!, well today we did just that, the kind Apple people had pretty MINK projection screen set up behind us, which was a real buzz, perhaps a future stage show? Id like to say thanks to all the people who showed up and rocked out with us and played with our hair, cant wait to do more in Atlanta, San Fran and maybe even Denver, folks i highly recomend it, such a great vibe and a fresh new approach to promoting music today. Nick

Today was the day to get back into the luxuries of having a stable internet connection, after a month on the road, take our guitars in for a service at Rudys Music repairs in Manhattan, they have taken a beating. Above all Stella Max and myself managed to get the word out around Soho and the Lower East side of New York to help promote our Apple instores, Virgin Megastore Irving Plaza and Snitch after party performance appearances. this week MINK has an exclusive week in New York not a moment spare, cheers Nick

Oh my god it was all about Alligators and crawfish for lunch! the word on the street was MINK and Satellite Party tonite come for a rad party show.. Many people took our advice from our trusty street teaming efforts when we landed from the 86 mile drive from New Orleans.
