Thanks Austin for being so awesome. Our triple-header this past Saturday was exhaustively fun. Hope to see you all sooner than next SxSW.
Coming up, we have a bunch of shows on the books, and a bunch more in queue to be confirmed.

“Loving every minute with this damn crew.”
We’re happy to report that our next and as-of-yet untitled full-length album is all done. Last night, Engine Studios—where we recorded and mixed the record—was generous enough to allow us a listening party for all those involved. What started as a listening session, turned into an epic hang that went into the wee hours of the morning. We’re all still recovering from the good times.
As is customary with BMA meetings, there was a Spirit Award given. By unanimous decision, the highly sought after honor was handed to producer, engineer, sailfish-wielder Brian Deck. His contributions throughout the process were invaluable, and we thank him for his support. What a mensch.
A round of applause for all the extras that helped make the recording even more special: Mark Yoshizumi, Dan Smart, Max Crawford, Pauly, and everyone at Engine.
We’re looking forward to sharing this music with you as soon as possible. In the meantime, the Billboard Sun EP is still as fresh as a sweet Sunday morning.
Thanks to all who came out to our set on the Summerfest grounds. Special thanks to Hilarie for this great shot, and all the others. We’ll be back July 28th at Bad Genie. We sure hope to see you again.
Coming to a gig near you.
I can’t thank Bill at Harden Engineering enough for this amazing piece. Couldn’t be happier. Gusto.
We were out in LA this past weekend recording at the Red Bull Studios. It was a great time reconnecting with the production team of Rock The Route, and meeting some new people.
In the two days we spent there, we were able to track two new tunes—one called Touch and the other called Wake The Dead—as well as lay down some overdubs on some other tracks. All of these tracks and more are nearing completion and are slated for release on our next record. Whereas we’re not quite finished, I can finally see a light at the end of the tunnel.
More news on that as it comes in. For now, we have two awards to give out for the weekend…
The BMA Spirit Award splits between engineer Eric “Five-skis” Stenman and cellist Alison Chesley who’s contributions and positive vibes were invaluable.
The BMA/Max Crawford Total-Pro Award goes to Joe Darnaby for remembering his 12-string guitar case, but not his 12-string guitar. —Hope you make it home, bro!
