Hey crew,
Feels like autumn already in Boston. And, to think, it was 90+ for almost two weeks about a week or so ago.
C'est la vie! At least this means football & hockey is right around the corner and, to Justin's great excitement, pumpkin ale!
August was short on shows but not on fun or work. After playing at a
private party in Maine at the beginning of the month, we spent most of
the month writing and working on some new songs (some of which we hope
we'll be debuting soon).
We also had our second show at All Asia in August which went over
great. We had an awesome crowd that showed up for the event -- some
with and in viking garb, no less! -- and we made plenty of new friends
throughout the day. It's always enjoyable to meet other people who
enjoy this type of music and we hope to see them all again soon!
New music... Thanks to the wonderful Pam Craven we had our July
TT the Bear's show recorded live. She did a great job mixing everything
and we have a few of the live tracks available for streaming on our
Myspace page. Let us know what you think.

This will be an All Acoustic Night at Porter's. It also just so happens to fall on
Talk Like a Pirate Day
and you know we can't let such a day go by without some sort of
celebration. We're still working out the details but be sure that we'll
do something special to mark the occasion. Hint: get your pirate/viking
garb and/or related clothing ready 'cause you'll need it for the fun.
More details to come in the following weeks. To order tickets,
