Hello! We’re having an art show at my house (450 Sebastopol Avenue) on the 16th with three great bands and a handful of amazing artists. It costs $3-$5 (pay what you can) to support Whispertown2000 (they’re on tour from Los Angeles) and we’re also having a bake sale. This is going to be different from any other house show you’ve been to. Don’t miss out!

So I missed the first song, but everything else turned out great, thanks Josh!

So bring your friends.

Here are the Mp3’s from The Iditarod on Dec. 15th. It was a great show and we hope to have them again. Thanks to Mizeck of the Zun and Everybody for playing. If anyone wants those recordings just let us know and we’ll handle it.

I’ve been busy going to shows in SF and the East Bay these past few weeks but I have to get back to the Sonoma County shows.  Here’s some shows coming up, it looks like Santiago will need a breather after this next week.

XBXRX is coming up here to Santa Rosa to play in the Boogie Barn. If you haven’t been to the Boogie Barn, it’s pretty rad. Parking is a little sketchy but it’s good times. Careful because drum circles have been known to bust out and I’ve witnessed axe throwing as well. Here’s the flyer, check it for sure. FYI, last time I saw XBXRX they played a 15 minute set, so be ready.

Schell and I will be DJing this Saturday the 2nd at the 600 Records house. It should be fun times. Here’s the flyer for it:

Also, listen to the new Vampire Weekend album, it’s amazing.

Cursive are going to be playing with The New Trust and Santiago on March 1st at the Phoenix Theatre in Petaluma, CA.  Apparently tickets are available today but there wasn’t a ticket price listed through Phoenix Theatre’s myspace posting.

I should be back to posting plenty now that I have gotten back from Vegas and am going to mellow out for a couple weeks.

This was one of our first shows, and AD’s first show! As such, power outtages and witty banter abound! Everntually Doug might let us see some video too!

Enjoy! More to come!

Just in case you weren’t aware. Here’s the flyer for The Velvet Teen show next week. TVT will be with a new lineup again having Matthew Izen playing guitar now. I hope they’ll be selling this poster at the show:
