We had a great time playing with Midnight Vitals, Snake! Snake! Snakes! and Mergence. Here's a clip of our new song All City Flames taken by our very own Lynsay Padilla. We are heading into the studio in the coming months so there will be more to come.

For RSD 2011 today, we've got two performances. First, we are appearing on Good Morning Arizona sometime between now and 9am. closer to 9am, we think. Anyway, you are probably already up watching, so just stay tuned. Tonight at 6pm we'll be performing in-store at ZIA Records Tempe down on University. ZIA is featuring two songs from us ("Avenues" and "Summer Nights Lakeside") on its RSD compilation CD this year. Also, the first 100 or so folks who buy the comp get a free download card that includes all of our new LP C-L-A-W-S plus the bonus sinlge, "I Can, I Will". I don't know if a download card really sends the right messsage on RECORD store day, but...

Our last outing at the Rhythm Room (last week) was probably our best show ever. Help us build on this momentum by joining us next week. Same time, same place... more or less.

Very pleased to share with you all our video for "Summer Nights Lakeside." It was compiled by our buddy/director Benjamin Bates from Joel's vintage 8mm family films. Ben is in the process of shooting another video with us for our slow-dancer friendly jam "Greeley Estates."

One of our older songs but still one of our favorites. We (Scott and Joel) recorded it in a huge room at a local community college and Bob Hoag from Flying Blanket mixed it. Enjoy !

We had a great time recording the music video with Benjamin Bate and his crew at the Bullion Plaza School. We had some extra time to sneak in a recording of Somebody Stole My Money in one of the creepy, old classrooms. Hopefully, we will be posting both of those soon. The grounds keeper, Tom, was a really awesome guy full of creepy ghost stories about the historic grammar school.

Just recorded this past weekend at Flying Blanket ! We had a great time working with Bob Hoag and Gerald Schoenherr to get our new song, "I Can, I Will", recorded. Bob showed us an awesome documentry, Winnebago Man, in our down time. If you enjoy this, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zSWUWPx2VeQ and want to know more you should check it out.
The new song should be available to the world soon. We took tons of video too which we will hopefully be cutting together to make some sort of video thing. kthx bye -John
