We'd gotten so busy in the last year that really only one song emerged during that time.  Parts of others floated around ... probably more were missed because they lasted a minute or two of inspiration and, because they weren't recorded, are lost.  So be it.

We've gotten around to working on new songs and they are coming together.  A few make completely obvious sense - - - like being able to do a T Model Ford song like never before, or adapting one of his songs in our style, after playing all of these shows with him.

However, some of the songs are curves off the path from what you may have known from us before.  The progression makes sense to me/us ... some of them had a part (a riff, a drum beat, etc) from the past, but something has us moving in the direction we are moving.  It's weird and wonderful at the same time.  I want to "can" it (to keep it going exactly where it is going), but I know that can't happen.  I'm just gonna trust that we are going exactly where we are supposed to be going.

We will see.

Please do come out and see us the Tractor this Saturday if you are in Seattle.  Scott Biram and Cicada Omega will make certain that this will be a great night of music NOT to be missed.

Other than this show and a NOISE FOR THE NEEDY BENEFIT on Sunday June 14, there's not going to be a whole lot of opportunities to see us in the coming months ... a US tour with T Model in July and joining him over in Europe for a month starting in early September will keep us busy.  I expect the prep work for the next album to be absorbing most of the rest of our time ....

We'll see ... either way, it's a wild and wonderful world from over here.  How about you?  We hope music and life is treating you right!  Let us know ....

Thanks for reading/listening/supporting the music and the musicians!
