Holy crap, people actually payed money to see us!We love you guys!
James from La Strada, kicking ass on the accordion.La Strada ('the road' in Italian) is amazing. Super sweet string arrangements and just an all around great live band. Getting to see them play four nights in a row was a real treat. They have an EP coming out real soon. Check their myspace page for upcoming shows.
Kaveh played a rockin' set with DBB Plays Cups, then got too drunk to stand. DBB Plays Cups is an incredible musical project led by David Benson. Check out his recent interview with UVA's the Declaration: READ IT HERE
The Camel (Richmond, VA) - 2/11/09
The band we were supposed to open for canceled last minute because their van broke down or something but we got the pleasure of meeting a fantastic musician new to the Richmond scene, Ward Combs. Go catch him live somewhere for some really beautiful original tunes.
Iota (DC) - 2/10/09
Great turnout, great sound, great venue. Everyone was a pleasure to work with and they have the best fries in the world. Devon Sproule & Her In-Laws were amazing. They covered "This Will Be Our Year" by the Zombies, which we really enjoyed. Really liked what we've heard of her husband as well. Ben Rowny shot this video of us playing "tire chains" out back on the patio behind Iota after the show:
