New Gigs (liam and carl-robert)

We have two new gigs coming up. One's at a Mexican place called La Chiquitå's. The other is opening for the band Das Pintos.
We are also starting to get really tight and are working on a new song with like three completley different parts and a bass solo. In terms of website (domain) and graphic designer stuff, we have Liam's dad commited to helping us get started with a website. And then the Das Pintos graphic designer is a possibility. Aside from all that, we just started taking rock ensemble at this totally awesome psycedelic music school in West Newbury and while we're working on our songs (and covering Cherub Rock) Max, Claytons bro, is taking a tech workshop. This means that he is now part of the band basically as our techy and roadie since we're starting to play more gigs now.

BONNAROO '08! (post by carl-robert)

I had a totally psychedelic second year at the 'roo in Manchester, TN. All the bands were amazing and we saw a wide variety ranging from Vampire Weekend (incredible and energetic), to Cat-power (front row) to whatever. The lineup was amazing and the camping was great too. My favorite show was probably Pearl Jam (he talked about how we should bring our troops home), but it tied with Raconteurs. By the time it's over you're left so satisfied that your not even sad to leave... If you can (we got stuck in a rush of people called a "cluster-f**k" who all wanted to "beat the coming crowd" at the same time). Anyway, sorry we haven't posted in a while... we have no excuse. Can't wait till 'Roo '09!
