Coming off a fantastic May show at the U Street Music Hall, we decided we needed to continue our quest to play every great venue in DC.  This time, not only are we playing the Black Cat on Saturday, July 7, but we are supporting two bands we’ve wanted to play with for a very…

Few shows are more fun than Gloucester, MA shows. They’re long and sweaty and dark and chaotic and setlists always go out the window. Sometimes rock songs turn into dance songs. It can get weird. Many thanks to Joanne for the preview in Good Morning Gloucester ahead of Saturday night’s show at Madfish Grill (details here). …

Yep, that’s two posts with plays on Langhorne Slim and Ha Ha Tonka. It’s just too fun. Sorry. It was a great night at the Middle East with those guys last week. They brought it.  And Chris Van Slyke (check out his site Boston Through My Eyes for pictures and video of those guys) brought…

Tonight’s show at the Middle East (downstairs) is one of our favorites so far, and it hasn’t happened yet.  The reason is because two of our favorite bands – Langhorne Slim and Ha Ha Tonka – are on one bill, and we kick things off (tickets here).  Other folks seem to be excited too: Music…

On Friday, we get to play a show that we would’ve gone to anyway.  Langhorne Slim is a guy we’ve been following for a while, and his songs just keep growing on us. First heard of him after he did ‘restless’ on Letterman. That song stuck, and we were encouraged by the fact that an…

Hell of a time Saturday night at the U Street Music Hall. Thank you DC…

Ahead of Saturday’s Washington show at U Street Music Hall (tickets here), an interview with the great DC blog Sweet Tea Pumpkin Pie, in which Naseem talks favorite DC eateries (anyone disagree?), late night Mt. Pleasant parties, nuclear weapons, and, of course, dancing.  Oh, and a free download…

And from our trip out (mid)west recently, a collage.  From our Chicago show at the Hideout, and from Culver’s somewhere in Wisconsin.  Somehow, we pulled off the Chicago show after Culver’s. Many thanks to Joe Mazza, who captured some great shots at that Chicago show (here).

After many submissions to both our facebook page and our email account and after much stressful deliberation, we have a winner of our “name our mini-tour” contest. The winner clearly demonstrated an understanding of the geography, timing and most importantly, was kinda witty with the whole ‘may’ and ‘May’ thing. Congrats to Melanie Morin, and…

It’s been a while since we gave anything away, and in honor of next week’s mini-tour out (mid)west, we’d like to change that.  Plus it’s Friday, and people like Fridays.  So, because everything in this world needs a name, the challenge: NAME OUR MINI-TOUR. We’ll be hitting Cleveland (May 2), Madison (May 3), Chicago (May…
