waiting
we're in a big musical waiting room right now. The CD work is completed. We'll be digitally distributed and all that good stuff in a month or so.
One more gig before everyone goes home for the holidays. Then we play again 12/29 and 12/31 doing some private events. And if anyone wants to see the most hungover band in the world, we'll be playing at 1pm on 1.01.08 at Gruene Hall in New Braunfels, TX. Always a good time out there.
No new pictures to speak of, but here are some pictures of Rob, Jon and Connor from this past summer. They took a trip to see the Festival Django Reinhardt in Samois, France. It's a gypsy music festival held every year in honor of Django, the french guitarist.

Album Art, Keepin' busy
We've been in Austin a few weeks now, aside from some trips home for thanksgiving and a few gigs out of town. We had a great time playing out at Gruene Hall this past saturday for all you folks who came out. For those of you who weren't there, we were selling a limited run 5 song CD - we only printed 150, and we sold out most of them at that show. We still have some left, so if you catch us at a show you might be able to get your hands on one.
Here at home we've been doing a lot of the production work to get the album released. We recently did a photo shoot with Austin photographer George Brainard. He got some great shots, and we sent them up to Stephen Long in South Carolina, who did the actual album design. Here are some samples.
We also did a little modification to the band van this week. We retrieved a cow skull from a friends farm out in Dale, TX, and attached it to the front of the van. It's a Texas thing.
Other than that, not a lot of news to report. Connor bought himself an upright Wurlitzer piano a few days ago. We had a rehearsal and learned some new tunes on monday night. Marshall, Phoebe and Connor have been playing weekly with Eric Hokkenen and the Gypsy Tribe over at Lambert's on wednesday nights. Jonathan and Marshall have also been doing gigs with Warren Hood and The Hoodlums around town a bit. Everyone is keeping busy. We're all very excited about the release of this CD and ready to hit the road again.
On a side note, here is a picture I came across by Austin photographer John Grubbs. It reminds me a lot of our drives through the Texas panhandle. John can be seen photographing musical happenings all over Austin. You can see his recent work at his blog http://rockslidephoto.blogspot.com.

back in austin
Hey everyone
Back in Austin after that wonderful 14 hour drive from nashvegas. Next time, we're taking the Learjet.
The cold Fall air is finally rolling into Austin and it's making me think back on this past summer. We got around a good bit and played in a lot of new places. The Carolinas, Kentucky, Texas, Louisiana, Connecticut, NYC, Colorado. And we've got pictures from all of that, so I thought I'd post some of our favorites. Enjoy!
The Music Camp - Spartanburg SC
The Music Camp...the morning after. We're a little crusty.
Corndog in CT
Rob, Phoebe, Marshall - central park NYC
moo moo and phoebe in NC
With our new rig back in june. We named her "Miss Chunky Butt". Before this, we toured in 2 cars with the bass strapped to the roof!!
Dinner with JB in North Carolina after the Evening Muse show
He's a maniac!!

Saturday-Sunday (mixing)
Hey everyone
We finished recording, and yesterday afternoon we began the mixing process at Bil's home studio. Mixing doesn't really involve the band beyond listening back to a track once in a while and making adjustments - the bulk of the work is done by the engineer. So, we have a lot of time to hang around and we're making it into a relaxing day of reading and taking care of business to get this CD released. We've decided to do a presale sometime in the next weeks for those of you who'd like to reserve your copy.
We're going to be making the 14 hour drive back to Austin tonight - it seems like driving through the night helps make the trip go by quicker. We've had an interesting experience staying here in Nashville this past week. Being the young, poor band that we are, Connor, Marshall and myself have been staying in a hotel off of I-65, which we have managed to get lost on the way to every single night we've been here. It is also directly adjacent to a very dangerous looking nightclub. The kind of place where you get patted down and walk through a metal detector to enter! I'm even pretty sure I heard a gunshot or two last night. We don't really mind this kind of thing to be honest - we like to think of it as life experience! (Don't tell our parents that!)
So gunshots and the ever-confusing highway system aside, we've had a positive experience here in Nashville these 8 days. We're all very much pleased with the way the tracks sound, and we can't wait for everyone out there to hear it. The record includes a nice mix of styles - a little country, swing, gypsy, R&B, New Orleans groove, and there's even something for all you folky's out there. It's Americana music, by anyone’s standards.
On a side note, this past Friday we left the studio early to go and see an incredible band by the name of The Infamous Stringdusters perform here at the Station Inn. They're a bluegrass group based out of Nashville who have been making big waves recently all over the country. We highly recommend them - you can check them out at http://www.infamousstringdusters.com/if you're interested. Their banjo player, Chris Pandolfi, and dobro man Andy Hall came and played on our record. Their new CD, "Fork in the Road", is in heavy rotation in the Belleville van on long road trips.
Here are some pictures of the last day or so at Bil's. Enjoy
