The End of the Tour at the Bottom of the Sea

Tonight was the last night of the Tour at the Bottom of the Sea, and the band is now on their way home. There have been many exciting moments along the way--in addition to the new music video for "Quick!" Stephin also visited several radio stations, some of which have posted videos online, including the venerable KEXP, where Stephin played while sitting on a (closed) toilet seat. All of the videos can be seen below.

If you'd like a day-by-day account of the tour, you can find photos, videos, and more at the Tour at the Bottom of the Sea blog. We're also in the process of setting up an online shop for tour merchandise, and will let you know here when we've done so. Sign up for the newsletter and follow the band on Twitter @TheMagFields for the latest news.
