Tour blog, Flophouse Sessions, upcoming shows.
Hi. The tour blog is up. You can read all about our fall tour, and though it’s all that’s up there, it’s a lot, so it should give you an adequate dose of reading “it was a great time” and “thanks for coming to the show.” Soon, I’ll post a recap of the September tour with Finn Riggins.
Our friends over at Band in Boston posted our first Flophouse session, which took place during our fall tour in 2007. There are four songs up, all in one convenient track, and they don’t sound nearly as bad as I remember them. Ha. They also renamed “Hawks Die” as “Hogstyle,” and though I’m not sure if it was intentional or not, I don’t care, because the new name is far superior. You can listen to it and download it here.
We’ve got a couple of shows happening this week:
Thursday, December 11th at 9:00 p.m.
@ The Eagle Tavern
Low Red Land
Them Hills
Tartufi
Friday, December 12th, at 9:00 p.m.
@ Ghost Mansion
Low Red Land
Birds & Batteries
Biagio Biondolillo
Dame Satan
The first one is Thursday and it’s an electric banger at the Eagle Tavern in honor of Lynne’s birthday. She and Brian, known together as Tartufi, are opening the night so that she can spend the rest of the evening getting smashed. Nevada City’s Them Hills play second, and we get to close out the night with some standard rock and some special surprises.
The second one is Friday and it’s an acoustic throw-down at the Ghost Mansion. 4 acts, 5 or 6 songs each, and a party after. Dame Satan will be performing as a duo, Bellingham’s Biagio Biondolillo will be performing solo, Birds & Batteries will be stripping it down, and Neil and I will be performing as a duo. If you know where the Ghost Mansion is, come on by. If you don’t…well, there may be a reason for that. We’ll be recording the night, and, with any luck, it will be released through Ghost Mansion Records as the first in our series of “Live from the Ghost Mansion” (or something like that) CD-Rs or digital downloads.
Hopefully, everyone is enjoying the holiday season. That’s about it for now. Feel free to get in touch with us, unless you’re a drunk ex-pat living in China.
