New Video
And now, a new video. Thrilled that Bob Boilen of NPR Music is premiering our video for ‘Sigh a While,’ directed by Chris Cannucciari (who also did our ‘Sun’ video). Check out the down-to-the-wire story behind the single-shot video here. Also, we sort of look like zombies.
Swift
First, a big thing is happening on Wednesday. Stay tuned… Second, the #RoadtoNewport campaign continues, this time in East Rutherford, NJ. For where else would you find people excited about the Newport Folk Festival but at a Taylor Swift concert? I don’t know about you, but we’re feeling 22…
Josh Ritter
Thrilled to annnounce we’ll be opening for Josh Ritter and the Royal City Band on Aug. 17 at the fantastic Lowell Summer Music Series in Lowell, MA.

We’re asking you good people to send in pictures from around the world holding signs saying how far you are from Newport. We’ll put them all together in a little video we’ll put out right before…
Improper
Well damn, the Improper Bostonian Magazine just named us ‘Best Local Band‘ in their Boston’s Best issue. We’ll take it! Monday starting off with a bang, and much more to come this month: new video coming out soon, shows to announce, and the Newport Folk Festival in a few weeks, where we’ll ask for your help in getting…
Dead Albums
Do you think we live in a 99-cent-single culture of music? Do you think the album is dead? We have our own thoughts, and Naseem talks with The Vinyl District about it (as well as fear/love of the Clash). Are we dumb in this day and age? Maybe we just miss our eight-tracks…
