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 [...]

Happy Cinco de Mayo folks.

We’re excited to announce we’ll be playing a residency at Laurelthirst Pub in Portland. Every Wednesday in April we’ll be playing 2 hour sets (!!) during their happy hour [...]
Hey Folks,
We’re roughly 7/8ths done with this tour with The Fruit Bats. It’s been pretty epic. Night after night of amazing sets – can’t thank everyone enough for coming out to see us play, shaking hands, getting us sick.
It’s been something else.
Technically – this is the first Blue Giant tour ever & what a way [...]
We’re nearing the halfway point of this tour. It’s going fantastic! Highlights so far – for me – are Chicago and Kentucky. They’ve all been killer, but these were standouts. Someone posted some pics from the Chicago show
…here.
So after tomorrow, we have two days off in Florida. I already fulfilled my boiled peanut fantasy. I [...]
So we’re knee deep in this thing. We’re already speaking our own language. At any point the phrases “cornbread stay put”, “hell strange” or “the devito clamp” are uttered, the whole place comes unglued.
The Fruit Bats are total sweethearts and crushers to boot. Making us bring our A game nightly. So far we all have [...]

A1: They’re all artists on Vanguard Records! That’s right folks we’re elated to announce we’ve joined the ranks of the venerable Vanguard Record label. They will be [...]
