The Gardner-Hammel family has decided to take a break from it all and hit the road. Vacation destination? Nearly two-dozen dark, smoky clubs across Europe and the U.S.-- welcome to paradise, lovebirds!

In addition to tacking on a few extra dates with the Brooklyn four-piece, the pair-- who just wrapped up a hefty overseas trek with We Are Scientists-- have announced two New Year's Eve party-gigs going down at NYC's Knitting Factory.
