New Years Eve Eve 2007

2007 was a good year. We recorded and mixed an album entirely on our own in a studio housed by walls we built and filled with equipment we funded, selected, collected and connected ourselves. DIY. *High Five* It feels good, especially since we are still very much proud of that album. Here Tomorrow sums 2007 up well […]

CMJ Week/Live WOXY Broadcast: 10/19, 5:15 est

CMJ arrives next week [10/16 - 10/20]. I recommend that anyone in range call in sick at least one day.

Plus, these day parties are usually free […]

When It Rains It Pours

Not sure if it was a dream or not, but I vaguelly recall waking briefly to the sound of thunder crashing into the night. The lovely rainy day outside my window seems to confirm it did happen. Nice. It’s the perfect kind of day to wander over to the ski-lodge vibe of The Delancey and […]

Getting Down in China Town

Speaking of good music, check out apoundforabrown. It’s a gold mine of jazz, folk, vintage psych, forgotten heavy jams, and more… the […]

Cold / Warm Rock Fronts Converge Over Brooklyn

Electricity’s crackling in the air, and, from the looks of Ryan’s divinin’ ’stache, storms a brewin’ …
We’ve been working hard in the studio for the past few months carefully coaxing lightning into a bottle and chiseling new classics out of the ether. It’s been over 6 weeks since our last show. Needless to say, we’re overdue […]

Yes Yes Y’all

We are back in the great NYC. Ryan’s write-ups did well to capture the spirit of our brief journey, so I won’t retread the details. All I will add is that the trip was a celebration through and through. Life is good when you travel with such quality folks as Jeremy, Ryan, Nick, and Sam […]

Attention Huxtables; there is a rock show tomorrow.

Since I’m at the office and can’t watch the Spain/France game, I’ll instead focus on the rock show that’s going down tomorrow (Wed. 6/28). It’s going to be good for (but not limited to) the following reasons:
- Condo will be playing. They’re a great band we met back in the days of Luna. Condo also […]
