From the Lovitt Newsletter:

BATS & MICE has come full circle with their line-up and Jonathan Fuller has re-joined the band. Luke moved out to Oakland, CA, in 2004 and joined Totimoshi and with Engine Down coming to an end, it worked out that Jonathan could once again work with Ben and David. They have been working on new material and hope to record a full-length at some point next year. No word on when the first show with this line-up will be (this version of the Bats & Mice never played live) but hopefully they will be ready by late spring.

A few weeks ago a joint compilation with Saddle Creek entitled Saddle Up and Love It was released. It is available at Hot Topic stores and can also be purchased from them on the internet by going to the hot topic store. It includes material from a variety of bands on both labels, including Bright Eyes, Cursive, Engine Down, Decahedron, Division of Laura Lee, Criteria, Rah Bras, and more.
