Playing June 14 in Fullerton

In our tradition of booking shows less than twenty-four hours in advance of the said performance, we latched ourselves on, last minute, to an event at the Airliner club this last monday the seventh. This marks our fourth performance, that is, if we are counting our stutter-laden visit to melrose the other day. Otherwise, that makes three appearances inside of a venue. Thanks to our friends Matt and Jr. for showing up and helping out. In case you have never been so fortunate as to lift a suitcase rhodes piano, trust me that it is an experience best enjoyed with the company of other helping hands. So guys, thank you for that along with a hilarious night at the Denny's in Downey.

We do have a show this next Monday 14th, at the Commonwealth Lounge in Fullerton. I dont have all the details just yet, but you can follow us on facebook to receive updates as they come and we'll let you know as soon as we know. Be glad, however, if your a fan (the both of you), because so far this is the greatest advance notice we've been given, and subsequently released for any of our shows, that being a whole week. Things are looking up!

Also I do believe we will be playing with our friends Adult Film lead by Adrian Rodriguez. Now this guy, Adrian, who I've known through mutual friends for a short while, has got to be one of the best song writers to come out of this region. And as far as I know all of his groups have seemed to generate a lot of steam pretty quickly, with his old bands ERS and Puzzle Being (puzzle being era was when I was introduced, I wasnt around to witness ERS), and now his new band Adult Film. There's a certain natural fluidity in this guy's songwriting, even while introducing odd time signatures or intricate phrasings in the songs. And these 'tricks' never seem to be put in a manner that attempt to "show off" or alienate anybody, but rather it seems the music flows best that way. All I'm saying is watch out for this band, and this next show should be a good one. Hope to see you there.
