This Sunday, we invade one of our favorite places in the world, Madison. At 4:30pm, we play the Marquette Waterfront Fest, and hope the cheese curds we inhale cooperate when we jump in the water. Who’s with us?!? No one? Sigh. Later that night, we play a fundraiser for our great friend Matt, who we…

As we get pumped for the Midwest next week, this week’s last Pledge Music campaign photo: a sampling/smattering/smidge of pictures going in our recording scrapbook. These are all from the studio, Great North Sound Society, where we didn’t just take long exposure photos trying to spell our name, swear…

Today’s photo from our Pledge Music campaign: a recent retreat to record songs commissioned by Pledgers: Pixies, Petty, Peggy and yes, Kanye. Still working on these…got to get them right…

We are thrilled to present to you our new video for “Sun Gonna Lemme Shine,” and thrilled that the Onion’s AV Club premiered it.  And thrilled to be able to talk about wagons, wizards and Cobra Kai and have people know what we’re talking about.

The folks from Chunky Glasses recently came over to Naseem’s living room in Washington, DC ahead of the band’s show at the 9:30 Club supporting the David Wax Museum.  They talked all things music, and Naseem tested out his homemade salsa on them.  Verdict still out, but you can see the interview below, as well…
