Live Set 7/3/2010

Last night we were fortunate enough to play at Cheryl and Bill Bunce’s 5th year wedding anniversary back yard jam out, appropriately titled “Bunce-a-Roo 2010″. Cheryl and Bill are avid music fans travelling throughout the US to watch their favorite bands, and it was an honor being able to play for them and celebrate with them.

Here’s the link for the live footage:

So we’ve been out of touch. Like bad cousins or real dads. Excuses don’t mean much but here they are.

We’ve been burying ourselves into our 2nd album/record/cd/mp4collection, working ceaselessly day and night. We’ve cut back on shows as a result, and we’re all really aching to get back out on the road and to play live, but first things first. I’m working with a producer for the first time, a new challenge and a new voice to the music, not literally, new ideas and opinions. I feel almost bad for him as I am a huge pain in the ass to work with, but he’s signed up for it. The plan as of now is to record in the end of july in los angeles, subject to change, and we’re looking for a september release. After that, more shows, more updates, more photos, more everything.

Thanks for staying up to date, even though we haven’t really made it a challenge, but good things are on the way.

Today’s a day that will be remembered for a long time, regardless of it’s outcome. So when you’re walking around looking for a coffee spot, or watching re-runs of Everybody Loves Raymond, remember what you were doing today as it will be jotted down in the history books for generations to come.

Have fun at the voting booths, just make sure you go and cast your vote. Your vote is your voice.

DC Songwriter’s Circle - VIDEO LINK***

In the heart of DC’s Adam’s Morgan, known for it’s diversity, slews of bars, and giant slices of pizza, the DC Songwriter’s Circle has been reborn. It was a project from years back whose ideology is taking members of bands and making them play their songs accoustic, alone, without their accompanyments. This turns the focus of a song to its core, it’s foundation. Music and lyrics. I was fortunate enough to be asked to take part in the first run of its rebirth and got to play 4 songs along with three others. The atmosphere was awesome, like a small old movie theatre, and the crowd was unlike any other, quiet and attentive, opposed to the drunken rowdiness I’ve become accustomed to. Not to say I like either one better, but a different pace is always a door I’m willing to walk through. I opened with “Kings” then played “Nassau”, we had a set break, I had a Sierra Nevada Pale, then I played “Two Points of You” and ended the night with “Southern Gentleman”. Many thanks to Bill McKenna for all his work gathering musicians and promoting the events (every month on the 2nd Sunday - google DC Songwriter’s Circle) and Frank Marchand for recording the music, not to forget the countless souls that ventured out to hear some origional music. Cover bands, except good fun ’80s cover bands suck. Enjoy the link.

Next up - EBTW at Clarendon Day in Virginia.
