We’re a good week into this tour with Bobby Bare Jr. Thusfar we’ve all got about 8 hours sleep combined. It’s mobile insanity, like a freaky Partridge Family episode, but stinkier and louder. All in all, lots of fun meeting cool new people, playing our songs for them and then doing it again the next [...]

We’re 1/2 way to Nashville right now, where we’ll pick up Mr. Bobby Bare Jr., learn a few of his tunes then hit the road. So far, we’ve driven by a huge road fire, almost came to fisticuffs with the hotel clerk in Nebraska that gave our room away, and stopped for some random (yet [...]

If you have a CB radio, Ham or shortwave – you can catch us broadcasting from the road on Channel 19.
We’ll be eastbound and down, loaded up and truckin’ this entire year on tour – so maybe if you’ve got yr ears on we could meet up at a Flying J, Texaco, or Loves for [...]
Getting ready to leave your house for a full month (& change) begs a few questions that are seldom asked. Is this really enough socks? How necessary is shampoo? Do goth bands all wear black because it shows sweat the least? How many guitar picks can I plan on loosing in a 4 week window?
Gearing [...]
People of the world – today is the day that our 1st record comes out! Blue Giant (the self titled record by said band) is now out there in the wild. Running free. You can catch it now…
RIGHT HERE
…or where ever you dig on music. The wax version is a particularly rewarding listen.
Seattle, Portland & [...]
Aside from the fact that our album is out in about 2 weeks (!!!!), the big news around here is MFNW. We just got confirmed we’ll be playing alongside our good friends Laura Veirs & The Decemberists on the outside Levi’s stage – downtown Portland – at Pioneer Square. We couldn’t be more stoked.
Here are [...]
The photo you see above is from Terminal 5 in New York. Our dressing room view before playing. While not every venue we’ve performed at is as extravagantly filled as this giant warehouse – it has occurred to me that we’ve met a hell of a lot of people while doing our thing.
One topic that [...]
It’s “technically” spring – but I’ve yet to see the sun for more than one consecutive week. That’s what it’s like living here in Portland. So all you bands who I’ve met on the road who say, “..we’re thinking of moving there…” – ask yourself; does living like a cave troll sound good to me? [...]
A little bit country & a little bit rock & roll. Ladies & Gents, what we have here is the first recording ever of Anita Robinson.
When Anita was 7 years old she won first place at the Wrangler Star Search Talent Contest in Lakeland, FL. Her prizes included 12 hours of studio time at a [...]
Since it seems the sun is never – ever – going to come out in Portland, I’ve taken my grey-skies woes into the studio to try and demo up a chunk of new songs. The chaos you see above here is the top floor of our studio.
Downstairs, the band is set up, so we can [...]
