I haven't posted anything for almost two weeks now so I thought it would be a good time to update everyone on the status of my band and our music. The good news is, that we have all of the tracking done for our first EP.

Sean and I played a great show at Berbati's Pan in Portland last night. I have to say, Berbati's is a fantastic venue. Their sound guy was totally on the ball, and they had great lighting and a cool stage. We opened up for a group from Boston called The Grownup Noise, who's style ranged from Andrew Bird classical/roots sounds to early 90s rock covers with a few face-melting solos thrown in for good measure. The cellist was a great addition to the band. It was an all around tight set, and I will be sure to catch them again next time they come around.

So yesterday he, Wess, and I got together for some mindless jamming and I just wanted to say that it felt fantastic. The definite highlight for me was when an old woman was walking by our garage door and couldn't help but dance a little as she walked by. She didn't look up or even acknowledge that we were there, but she just threw out a few dance moves and continued on her way. It was fantastic.
