herd of cats

day 3, maybe day 4... if we don't emerge in five days, wait five more days then send food and whiskey.

day 2: scratch takes

Today we worked real hard. We also encountered a feral pack German Shepard puppies on the way into Ratcow.










Murphy ran them off. and saved Ratcow and its occupants for the day.

Studio Day 1


With chests puffed up, out and a longing to locate some sense of self separate from the cold wombiness of studio. we ventured to hardware store... for to build baffling for the our upcoming mission: record new album.





we found nails and stuff. My vanity was caught on security tape and a hard-ware lady laughed at us.

Day One of recording consisted of cleaning up studio from previous sessions over the last few months and building baffling for songs.

desmond dekker

I'm usually the last to know about these things, but Desmond Dekker rules. I borrowed Shitty's car because the something or other broke on my car from the 150,000 miles of touring we've done in the last few years. This however, is the first problem I've had with my truck since the purchase, better than most tour vehicles I've been in or heard about. Anyway Desmond Dekker was in the automobile CD player and I stole'd it from Bryon's car and rocked to it some marina and meatball making.

We're playing a awareness benefit show at UWF for the non-profit organizations: Seeds of Hope. They raise funds and educate the public about suicide prevention.

March Tour and Beyond

The March tour was interesting, we played some really awesome clubs: Rafters (St Simons Island), Shantytown (Jacksonville), The Wonderroot (Atlanta). On the other hand I also had two of the worst musical experience of my life in March at clubs no worth mentioning. Although I did hear one of the greatest reasons ever from a club owner at one of the unnamed clubs for not paying us the band:

PSR 2:30am: You know that $30 does not really reflect the total sales for the bar this evening, there are at least 75 people with drinks in their hands and they've been here for at least 3 hours.

Unnamed Club Owner: Well they are all here to see me... not you guys.

Of course people go to clubs to see the owners.

We are going to start recording our new album this month and hopefully we will have it ready for release by the fall. Next tour should be in September or October. Stay tuned we'll be doing regional shows and stuff.
