Digital Hibernation No More
We admit it, we’ve been quiet on the internets of late. Admittedly, we’ve spent much of the Winter since our EP release in January electronically hibernating. We’ve apparently taken our roles as bears in our “I don’t wanna go home” video to heart. * That’s all changing, with some updates going out to our mailing…
Blogness…
Anxious for the new Springsteen album? Blogness on the Edge of Town has some advice (note: the advice includes us). “As for the lyrics, they’re keenly tuned in to the way we live now, as exemplified by the moody album closer ‘House On The Hill,’ an almost Springsteenesque indictment of the American dream deferred. Bruce…
Showing off our Spanish
We’ve gone global (sort of). Earlier this week a music blog in Spain wrote about our new EP. Of course, we already knew Spanish (no we didn’t), but we figured let’s be totally accurate and hire a crack team of translators (our buddy Tony). Click the picture below for the translation, and we’ll be practicing…
The River
Don’t listen to anything the kids say…radio is alright. In other news. “”i don’t wanna go home” is now in regular rotation at one of our favorite stations, 92.5 The River at nights. We’re excited, so we’re going to invade their studio and play a River Music Hall show on Feb. 8 and Boston people,…
1 band 1 brand
We teamed up with Out of Print (a company that puts book covers on t-shirts) for a very cool website called 1 Band 1 Brand, which hypes up developing/emerging/something-ing bands and brands. Here’s Naseem explaining just what the hell we’re talking about, and issuing a very specific challenge to Out of Print. But before that:…
Release Day
There’s a lot of news out there today, from politicians in New Hampshire to mice in Mountain Dew cans. We’re happy to bring you this news, but more excited to bring you the other news: today we officially release our new EP, Colder Still. The EP is finally out on CD (CD Baby) and digitally…
Twangville
Twangville is already big in our books. We were having a hell of a time figuring out how to describe what kind of music we play…yeah we use ‘Americana’ instruments, but our shows can get rowdy, and we end up channeling Joe Strummer more than anyone else. So we were pretty excited when they came…
Our Top 11 of '11
We drove a lot this year, from Texas to Buffalo to Washington. In the van, we played a lot of Mad Libs, ate a lot of Doritos, had a lot of serious existential conversations about Rainbow Brite and Nerf. We also listened a lot. Here, after much debate, we present our own top 11 of…
2012
Our last show of 2011, which, appropriately, happened on New Year’s Eve, was a dousy (or, doozy…or, douzy…anyway). It sold out, the Brighton Music Hall crowd was rowdy, and Mean Creek and Freeze Pop brought the house down; it was a hell of a way to bid 2011 farewell and welcome the apocalypse, I mean,…
Our drummer
Only drummers know how to properly celebrate Christmas. In related news, Steve may or may not be wearing that outfit on New Year’s Eve, when we greet 2012 with Mean Creek and Freezepop at Brighton Music Hall. Tix available here.
