It has been a grueling few months!

First of all I know I've been slacking on my intention to list our shows in the blog and give everyone a synopsis of the night. However, to make up for this I'll be listing our shows and try to say something small for each one, as time permits. Therefore, I'll list the shows we've played since Nov. inception below and get cracking on it, & I'll be updating this post as time permits.

In other news, we are currently recording w/ our dear friend Brian Herb, this month. We've been sneaking into Orchestra Hall downtown Minneapolis, guerilla style between the hours of 12AM & 6, and recording in the hall, so as to take advantage of the great acoustics. Brian has a sweet mobile rig, we've been using & the drums sound super sweet! Hopefully we can be done by August. Furthermore, thanks to everyone for their interest in Linnea's artwork, the best way to purchase/commission work is to contact her directly @

http://www.linneamaas.com

not that I don't appreciate the emails, it is just the best way to get a hold of her in a timely fashion, as I am not always the most punctual person.

Thanks so much to the warm embrace of the Minneapolis musical community, the shows we've played since our inception in Nov. have been great & we've been very lucky to share the stage & work w/ some great people/artists.

Cheers,

Winter...

PS
The doc says I should wean my way off crutches by next week, for those off you concerned. I'm looking forward to doing a show on my feet next month.
