June 2009
I just finished up three days in the Jack Straw studio engineering The Starlings upcoming full length record. They got some amazing tracks laid down, and will be celebrating with a sneak-peak EP to be released the evening of our send-off to Europe. Mark your calendars for Friday, July 10th at Conor Byrne, it'll be a great show!
We've had a few really cool shows these last few months, and capped 'em off with a fun set at The Fremont Fair this past weekend. I'll surely miss Bob's Telecaster licks while Aimee and I are cycling around Europe, we've been awful spoiled...
April 2009
It's a busy Spring! We're hard at work putting together the European bicycle tour, as well as getting Blues Filter Through into the ears of all you people out there...listen to KBCS or KEXP here in Seattle to hear some spins, or let them know you'd like to!
Updates and blogs about all this and more can be found in detail on the Myspace page. Enjoy!
March 2009
Thanks to everyone who made it out to the release show, it was a memorable night...I think my favorite part was the extended and weirdly chromatic build during the "Chop Chop Chop" chorus...pedal steel, drums, bowed bass, guitar, glockenspiel, and 3 voices all converging in a wonderful dissonance...I loved it.
Blues Filter Through is now available online! Buy it HERE at Sonic Boom Records, our neighborhood powerhouse record store, then let me know what you think.
Aimee and I are beginning to tighten up our summer European bicycle/train tour so keep an eye on the shows page, it'll get updated regularly as the spring draws near.
February 2009
It's official, we'll be celebrating the release of Blues Filter Through at our favorite neighborhood joint, the Conor Byrne Pub in Ballard. Mark your calendars for Friday, Feb 27th! It'll be a special show...our friends The Starlings will be there, as well as just about everyone else who played on the record. Not to be missed! Also, some of the tunes are posted on the Music page here, as well as on the Myspace page. Check 'em out.
January 2009
A new year, and a new record almost complete. Mastering is set to happen in a week, and we've already spent a beautiful afternoon out in Issaquah with a 100-year-old letter press and a thousand recycled cardboard CD cases. Details on a release show soon!
