Where’d this come from?
We rescued our old blog from the smoldering wreckage of Myspace, and lovingly back dated every post. While Justin Timberlake brought us many fun times on SNL, his Myspace take-over couldn’t make the site any more relevant for us, so now we have a bit more blog control. Whether that will translate into the motivation […]
Weekend shows – Somerville & DC
Hi everyone, There are two big shows coming up this weekend that involve us and we would love to see you. We anticipate our public sightings to slow down over the next several months as we regroup and start work on album #3 (depending on how you’re counting.) We have lots of new songs circulating […]
Getting into a cramped van
Hello Friends, We’re sending a quick note to let everyone know that for the first time in our little existence, we’ll be hitting the road for a 5-day mini-tour in support of our new album, “Black Clouds.” If you live in any of the cities we’ll be visiting (Washington DC, Pittsburgh PA, Cleveland OH, Detroit […]
Live set this Wednesday 9/2 on WPRB!
We stopped in Princeton on our way to Philly a few weeks back to play a set for Jon Solomon at WPRB. Our drummer likes to think of Jon as the John Peel of New Jersey, and I think he’s on to something with that. Jon is great, we had fun, and our set is […]

New Record, New Shows, New Almost Everything
Happy Summer, After many months (years?) of threatening, we can finally say with real certainty that our new record, “Black Clouds,” is recorded, mixed, mastered, packaged, and almost ready to be sold. We’re very excited, so we hope you’ll indulge us in a longer-than-usual email update. First, (Julie Christie) the rumors are true. Our new […]
Updates! Shows! NEW ALBUM!
Hi to everyone, It feels like it’s been such a painfully long time since we’ve sent any kind of update, let alone had any worthy news, that we’re excited to have some things worth saying, finally. First, we hope things have been well with everyone. Things in our collective and individual worlds have been just […]
We Keep Forgetting Things Will Never Be The Same Again
There was a brief and very happy window of time when the Abbey Lounge was the center of our Boston/ Somerville universe, so it makes us very sad to see them closing. The Abbey was the place we always knew would be there for us with cheap beer, good bands, and the best sound system […]
Then Richie said, “Hey man let’s dress up like cops. Think of what we could do!”
After quite a few years (4, we think) of talking about a new record, of trying different pedals here and keyboard sounds there, of considering and re-considering harmony ideas, of laying down vocal takes and then deleting them and then laying them down again, of just plain trying to find time to go in hit […]
