For the second year in a row, we have wrapped things up with an awesome show in Chicago!!! We want to thank everyone we came out and saw Land Of Atlantis, Ladymoon and ourselves at Subterranean on Dec 12. We had people travel from Kentucky, Ohio, Michigan and all of our friends from home come out and see us and we are super appreciative. It was also our first time with a professional light show and let’ s say we really enjoyed it!!! Let’s hope we can make it a reoccurring thing in 2010!

We played at the Mousetrap on 12/11 and have to say there is some serious good vibes going on in that town. Meet a lot of cool and interesting people and can’t wait to get back there in January!!!

Lessons from the Road…

After our show at the Something Fantastic Festival in Logan, OH, we decided that we would spend the few hours we had before traveling to the next gig to get some shut eye. Exhausted from time on the road, we decided to stop at the first motel we passed.

Looks harmless from the outside

Ok, door is a little mangy but could be worse

Door had been kicked in without being replaced…

Bob was the first one to get the hell out of there…

So if your in Columbus, OH and looking for a Grade A motel. Make the Knights Inn your place.

OPENING FOR UMPHREY’S MCGEE!!!!!!

admin — Wed, 02 Sep 2009 06:58:32 +0000

You don’t know how ecstatic I am posting this latest entry. We had been looking forward to this show since Joel Cummins called us and told us we would be opening this intimate show! We didn’t waste one minute as we spent time practicing our tunes, deciding our set, promoting the show and all the other many preparations we made in order to perform our best. But the minute we hit the stage and played the first notes of All Around the World, everything else seemed to disappear and out set seemed to fly by!

We want to thank Umphrey’s McGee for letting us perform in front of their fans and getting things started for them.

We want to thank all of our fans, many of which had to travel far distances and those who saw us for the first time, for coming out! We look forward to seeing you all very soon!

To try and describe what happens every year at Willow Ranch is damn near impossible. A small farm that throws a big party. We want to thank everyone for bearing the heat, dust and Tesh and coming out early to have a dancing good time with us.

Also we want to thank the employees of Sherman’s for serving us some dank late night ice cream

Lafayette Love!!!

Every time we head to Lafayette, Indiana, we know we are in for a good time. Traveling down to the Mosey Down Main Street Festival we reminicsed about several great memories just in this past year. Some of these include the last bash at Scagnoli’s and being shut down by the West Lafayette Police at 4 A.M. during a Late Night Grand Prix party at Purdue University. We love you guys and can’t wait to see you in the fall! Here is Side xSide from the Mosey Down Main Street Festival to tide you over til then.

PHISH IS BACK!!!! IT’S TIME TO GO PHISHING!

Hey Guys,

We are so excited to be able to see Phish again. We are busting out are old tents and hitting the road for the Midwest shows and playing some of our own along the way.

First, come check us out at our Thursday Pre-Pre-Party at the Verve in Terra Haute with our friends UV HIPPO (only an hour an a half from Deer Creek… http://www.mapquest.com/mq/7-Sl14BB*D7ovfdOj4 )

Then come stay at the Close By Campground Thursday and Friday night. Be sure to check out our Phish Pre-Party set Friday afternoon. We will be playing all day up until the big Deer Creek show. http://www.closebycampground.com/index.htm

Before and After the Phish show make sure to grab a Strange Arrangement 2009 Summer Sampler. We will be handing out thousands of free Strange discs, so you have some great tunes to listen to on your drive to Alpine Valley.

And if that isn’t enough, come rage with us and UV HIPPO again for a Post-Phish show at Reggies Music Joint on Monday.

While were talking about Phish, check out “Mo” (w/Joel Cummins) from Martyr’s on December 19, 2008.
