1/19/12 Happy New Year to all. We’re working to set our schedule for 2012 and looking forward to returning to our favorite places. We hope to add a festival or two in the coming weeks. The schedule to date is posted on the SHOWS page. Also updated on the site is the SITES page with a video shot by our friend Tyler Dorsey at Ingenuity Fest and put to a cut from the record, Sweet Reckless You.

We also wish the best to our drummer, Wil who will have a procedure done to mend an ailing shoulder. There will be some recovery time, but Jen’s brother, Stephan, an accomplished percussionist, has agreed to help with our gigs in February and March, and we should see no drop off in groove or performance. We may have to play a few longer jams during the stretch, though. Heal fast Wil.

10/04/11 Today is the day. We're glad to announce the release of our first proper LP, El Otro Lado. It's been a great process and we are fired up about the results. It's sort of a retrospective, as we've chosen our favorite songs from varied parts of our history, and pulled a couple from Groveland. But there are quite a few new numbers, too. The end product is a very representative collection of tunes. You can check out samples and information on it in the page.

08/26/11 We're looking forward to playing again at the Barking Spider tonight. We anticipate a good crowd, and hope to see many of you. We'll wrap up festival season with a spot on the main stage at Ingenuity Festival on September 17. We've added some new pictures from the Zoo and the Burning River Festival to the SIGHTS page. Some cool pics and thanks to Kate Hoffmeyer for employing her artistic touch.

And speaking of wrapping up: all the work is done and the duplicators have the mastered tunes and artwork. We will soon make an announcement for the realease date of our first offical full length CD, El Otro Lado.

08/06/11 Another fantasitc evening at the Zoo last night. We were given a new stage and our sound support from Beth and Sweet Spot Audio was top notch. Thanks again to the Zoo organizers and the zoo of people who attended. It was a hot, fun summer night that did not dissapoint.

07/24/11 Festival season arrived with a thunderous clap. Last night at the Burning River Festival there was great music, a great cause, great beer and lousy weather. Thanks to our sound team, the organizers, staff and Lisa Vinciquerra from the Rock Hall for being true pros, delivering great sound and a fun experience during difficult weather conditions. We look forward to a sunny, bright festival next year.

03/30/11 We've emerged from the restless winter to find winter's not really over. But we're bursting at the seams to put the music back to work again. We'll get back to pushing waves on the air April 8th at the Barking Spider. It will be a heavy night at times, becasue of the loss of the iconic owner of the vaunted establishment, Martin. We know however, that music has always kept the place going, and we'll be prepared to bring it. All the best from us to Ms. Juredine, with whom we have much respect and a full faith that she will carry a bright torch. On the studio front, we have refused to compromise in haste. So we have taken the time necessary to completing our recording task. Squeezing creative bursts into the necessary tasks we all must endure, we have taken the time when it was available. Coming to a close, we're overly excited to share the goods with any and all.

10/30/10 We're headed into winter hibernation to concentrate on staying warm, beer drinking and offspring; literal and figurative. Have a tolerable, safe winter.

01/27/10 The new year brings sanguinity for the band. 2009 was a year of finding our groove. We needed to learn a few things about ourselves, each other, recording and the local scene. 2010 is a year to put our boots on the road. We are smack-dab in the middle of recording a bunch of new tracks at Anteup Audio and couldn't be happier with the progress so far. We expect to release a full length album sometime in mid-2010. We have bookings with some of our old familiar friends, and will look to add some new venues to our schedule. Next on tap is the Beachland Ballroom and Tavern. Check back soon for a Beachland booking, possibly in May.

09/30/09 Raging good times throughout August: Starting with the Greenville, continuing at the Zoo and finishing up with a double dip in Charlottesville, VA. The Zoo hosted it's 15th consecutive rain-free event on the 7th - and has quickly become one of our favorite annual events. We are already scheduled for next year. If you haven't before, it's worth giving this event a try.

Our trip to the first annual Brew Ridge Festival, just outside of Charlottesville, VA in late August was nothing short of a spectacle. Unfortunately, we had to endure some rain during our set, but the sound was excellent, the grounds were gorgeous, the beer was plentiful, dark and strong and the 4 other bands in the lineup and us provided the crowd with some of the finest rock/country/bluegrass music you could have hoped to hear in the Eastern US. Our set went so well, that we were asked to play a gig that same night at a local Charlottesville club across from the University of Virginia. Easily, each of us were thrilled to see the fresh faces on their first Saturday night back on campus. It was....eye opening. Big thanks to John Keefe for getting us in the line-up for the festival, managing the night gig and singing along to every song.
