California's Time Again has announced their plans to take a hiatus for a couple of years. The band had this to say:

as some of you already know, this is going to be our last US tour for a couple years. Elijah is getting ready to go on his two year mormon mission and we didn't feel that it was right to replace him, so we all agreed to wait for him to get back before we start playing again. we can't say thank you enough for all the support you've given us since the band started. tour isn't even over yet and we already can't wait to start touring again haha, but i don't want to make this sound too sad, because it's not even over, we're just taking a little break. we will be back soon and we hope you will all still be there with the same support when we do come back.

anyway, the rest of us are going to be starting a new band. we plan on recording early next year and touring soon after. there's plenty of information to come, so make sure to keep checking back to see what's going on.

Portugal. The Man's recent commentary on vice presidential hopeful Sarah Palin has spawned a lengthier article with Los Angeles' Metromix where the band further commented on the governor and former Wasilla mayor:

What is it about her that you don’t like? Just everything that she represents. When she came into office, they made this big deal out of her firing all the corrupt people. So who gets the jobs that were just all opened up? It ends up, it’s all people from her church. They get the jobs at the hospital and they get abortion out of the hospital; [they] pretty much enforced their own rules. I’ll always be the first to say: we’re not a political band. We’re not into voicing opinions on things like this. It’s just—that’s our hometown.
