Apparently, people haven’t gotten enough of the elections. They were more than two weeks ago, yet us Americans apparently just want to vote all the time (or maybe we just really missed the California demon sheep).  And we just keep on voting: we do it with our American idols, we do it with our dancing…

Perhaps it was the unusually nice day, the Celts opener, or the giddiness over demon sheep finally getting the exposure they deserve this election season…whatever it was, the show at the Paradise earlier this week was a blast.  To prove it actually happened, we asked the great photographer Kelly Davidson to document the whole thing. …

So far we’ve reached people’s ears and eyes, and even though we just met, we’re going for the chest. It’s a big step in our relationship, but we think we’re ready. In other words, we have t-shirts!  And we’re debuting them at tonight’s show at Boston’s legendary Paradise Rock Club.  We’re thrilled to feature the…

The Beast of the Northeast showcase at the CMJ fest in New York City was pretty great: we got to play alongside excellent Boston acts like the David Wax Museum and Bodega Girls (yep, just a tad different in styles), and a fantastic Buffalo act Son of the Sun (and we’re not just saying that…

On Oct. 22, Boston will invade New York. It’s been a long time coming, really. We’ve always had some resentment (Yankees having more World Series rings, bigger buildings, smellier sewers), so really this shouldn’t come as a surprise. Unfortunately, our National Guard is smaller, so we’ll have to make do with military prowess of awesome…

Baltimore: Soft shell crabs. The Sun. Bubbles.  All things we like.  Here’s an article on us in that second one (ahem, the Sun) ahead of our show this Friday at the Golden West Cafe that once again raises the notion that we don’t really know what it means to be an ‘Americana’ band. More on…

The good folks at Boston Band Crush felt the need to get all intellectual and intelligent and stuff, so they decided to dispatch their academic department to host the second annual What’s Your Major? show at Church. The show is asking the question of many bands (and comedians) including us, Gene Dante, Do Not Forsake…

A lot has been made of the Soy Bomb incident that took place at the Traveling Wilburys shows this past weekend at the Lizard Lounge.  A battle is currently raging over who deserves the title of Soy Bomb King: Mike Bishop, with his true-to-form style or Justin Shapiro, with his own unique interpretation. Call it…

This past weekend, we loved playing Bob Dylan and Traveling Wilburys covers over two sold-out nights at the Lizard Lounge. Besides ridiculously good musical interpretations of Orbison, Petty, Lynne and Harrison tunes by our compadres, chaos ensued. Antics were had. Our shows featured an on-stage break-up between Dylan and Joan Baez, a rebirth of Baez…

In 1988, the Bob Dylan was getting panned critically. A year earlier, he had released Dylan and the Dead with, not surprisingly, the Grateful Dead, and critics hated it. After that came Down in the Groove, and critics hated that even more.  Dwindling sales, an unfortunate fashion sense, and the mere fact that it was…
