The Modern Machines' status has been has been unclear since the three-piece lost their drummer and relocated from Milwaukee to New York. While the band's future is still "not at all certain" the group has enlisted a new drummer, one Mikey "Ben" Yannich of the Ergs, and they're planning to play some shows soon. This includes planned local gigs in the NYC area and a tour down the eastern seaboard to the Fest in Gainesville. Dates should be announced soon.

The band's most recent full length was 2006's 'Take It, Somebody!', which arrived via Dirtnap.
