alabama music box 1.7.09

the alabama music box is the best sounding room in the southeast, competes easily with the bottletree in birmingham. we played a good show there last night, the people are wonderful. i met tim from the super nice bros (and he's very nice).

mobile is a strange town much like pensacola the streets are empty after 9p on weekdays. there are lots of strange building, and leaky pipes. lots of algae growing on alley walls. downtown is dimly lit, and a creepy. i like.

love liza was shot here...

in mobile.

Circle Bar 1.6.09

we played the circle bar last night. it was a great start for our tour. there were quite a few familiar faces.



i dreamt of sailing and water last night.

it rained from p-cola all the way to new orleans. we hit every pothole in between. quite nerve racking.

tomorrow we start our spring tour. as usual there are a million different things to be done from packing to promoting. i'm nervous as usual waiting for the tour to start. should be interesting though. we have twenty plus shows booked for january from p-cola to new york and back. the band will take february off and i'll do an acoustic tour with renee arozqueta and then back to the road with band in march out west. i will post stuff from the road, pics vids and some recordings. take care drop us a line.

saturn bar bootleg, new songs, new album, another tour

we are currently practicing new material, and will hopefully have it ready for tour in addition to the material on escapist vs exit (the album we will be touring in support of in 2009). i'm excited because the follow up to escapist exit is done. we have a tour coming up in january followed by a march/april tour.

also we just finished mixing a bootleg show from the saturn bar (9.27.08) on our last tour, and its available for download here:

Saturn Bar 9.27.08

i know this isn't news, but we finally finished escapist vs exit! a year and half odsessy of melodrama, and high intrigue. we cut the wet blanket away this week in athens, mixed and mastered. with a year of touring ahead, a vinyl record, and a new cd we're ready finally to get this monster off the ground.

the first leg of the spring tour is almost booked. wow its so exhausting sitting behind a computer day after day working for a show, with people you've never met. but i know it all counts, and it will be nice to be back on the road soon...
