Call it the ole Public Radio Boost* – since the airing of NPR’s Weekend Edition in which the band talks with host Rachel Martin about Americana music, death and awkward dancing, good people like you have been revitalizing our economy and buying Dust Windows, like, a lot. On Sunday, it was #49 on the iTunes…

Yeah yeah, we know we just posted the other day that we’d be on NPR’s Weekend Edition. The point of that post wasn’t really to tell you that; rather, we’d been looking for an excuse to refer to Betty White’s muffin for a while. Well, the newsworthy event for this here post is that the…

Exciting news: a ten-minute segment featuring two in-studio performances and an interview will air on National Public Radio’s Weekend Edition on Sunday, August 22 (probably around 9:30am), assuming no big news happens that bumps us to another week. So if you’re like us and stay awake at night dreaming about having Carl Kasell’s voice on…

Joel Brown wrote a lengthy, detailed piece about us in the Boston Globe last week, going pretty deep on the band’s formation, approach and what drives us all.  There’s also a focus on Naseem – his family background (ethnic), childhood (uneventful), healthy criticism of Middle East conflicts (hopeless?), and deep love of both Springsteen shows…

We’re thrilled to hear that Ryan’s Smashing Life named our album Dust Windows one of the best albums from 2010’s first half. Here’s what Ryan himself said (and we didn’t even pay him!): “Ascension, you are mine! Kingsley Flood are easily one of the most talented bands on this list. Moving effortlessly through the worlds…

Two things of note from yesterday. First, we were thrilled to head into the hallowed halls of MIT (where there are actually chalkboards in the bathrooms, for like, equations and stuff) last night to play on the show Pipeline. We had a blast, and you can hear it below. It was certainly live, so you’ll hear…

Today, a new picture. And, a radio performance. Tonight we’re playing on WMBR’s Pipeline. Tune in to Boston’s 88.1 FM to hear a full set at 9pm. We’ve got all of your audio/visual needs covered today, apparently.

On July 17, we are pleased to be sharing the stage with Balthrop, Alabama, a raucous group from Brooklyn by way of the mystical (and completely made-up) town of, well, Balthrop, Alabama.  And they have Balthrop as their last names, Traveling Wilburys-style.   What’s very cool is that they wrote a song dedicated to musicians who…

So, the Boston Phoenix just sent us a widget indicating that we won Best Roots Act in their Best Music Poll.  Thanks once again to all those of you who responded to the call and voted for us.  We were thrilled to win, and also to get this widget in our email. Of course, we…

Good people, the results are in.  Thanks to you and your amazing ability to wage democracy across the world (or at least the intertubes), we were named Best Roots Act in the Boston Phoenix’s Best Music Poll. The Phoenix was so inspired by your show of force that they wrote some nice stuff: If you…
