Current mood:totally chill
Looks like we'll be taking this monkey thing down yonder to Rock Hill next month.  Our first venture off the farm.  Of course, we're off to Gore, Va for Camp Barefoot in July, too, but we're hoping to get out a little more beyond the Triangle this summer,maybe to the beach, maybe out to western, NC a little.  We'll see.

Meantime, we've added Robbie Girardin to our lineup.  He'll be manning the drum slot, with Bongo moving over to, well, bongos and other such percussive stuff and assorted electronic weirdnesses.  Our experience with two percussionists at the Kimock gig gave us an idea of what that configuration might bring and we liked it a bunch.  Robbie's got a nice musical pedigree, most recently having played with Rob Watson in the bizarrely wonderful Oblivious Action Figures. 

And speaking of the Kimock gig, there are two fine recordings of that show on the archive at:

and

We also finally got around to dubbing the Miller matrix audio over the video that was shot there that night.  The video of the entire show is now available at http://video.google.com.  Just search on "kimock" and "navigated" and all nine tracks ought to show up. 

We're just about finished authoring a hi-q DVD of the Kimock video with the Miller matrix audio dubbed in.  Also, we ought to have our promo disk ready for distribution at the June show.  Will include 5 tracks we recorded in the studio over the last few months, with a nice mix of 'songs' and the usual fruity instrumentals.
