I don't know, really – which is exactly why I decided to give their new Open-Ness and Honesty EP (released just yesterday on Tom's new Indie-MP3 Records !) a try!

(from RFT showcase, stolen from its MySpace) So, the Wooden Kites are gearing up to release a seven-inch with Quief Quota. (Fittingly, both bands are playing a show at CBGB next Tuesday, September 9, with Future Kings of Nowhere.) But the catch is, the band doesn't have a name for the song yet!
