Getting our Sparkle on

Hello folks,

Just wanted to give you a heads up on some fun events we are going to be a part of the last couple months of 2011.  We will once again be playing at the Taylorsville Tavern after the not-to-be-missed annual Taylorsville Light Parade showcasing the most excellent hillbilly light extravaganza around.  The Light Parade show takes place on the Saturday following Thankgiving (11/26/11).  On Friday Dec 2nd, we’ll be getting our Sparkle on with Chico’s The Railflowers in Quicny, CA at the wonderful Pangea Cafe & Pub.  The show coincides with Quicny’s 22nd annual Sparkle and Light Parade.  The following evening, Sat Dec 3rd, we will be back in Chico to perform at Jessi Amundson’s Art Show opening at Bustolinis Deli & Cafe with our friends Darren Ney, Dave Mulligan, Lexi, and JP Gutierrez.  Saturday Dec 17th, we will be playing The Sweaty Yeti Ball at the Origami Lounge in Chico with The Amblers.

Friday June 10th, 2011

30 May

This show will be an excellent one featuring Steve Taylor from Oakland and Chico’s “phantom music legend” Nate Pendery at Cafe Coda on Friday June 10th.

With a sound steeped in the sunlit tones of Laurel Canyon, the mid 60’s pop and R&B of the Brill Building, and the lo-fi synths of early prog rock, Oakland resident Steve Taylor is equal parts folk troubadour and blue-eyed soul balladeer. A multi-instrumentalist with a surprisingly diverse background, including stints in black gospel churches, avant-garde psych-rock ensembles, and indie rock bands, he’s spent the better part of the last two years as the keyboardist in Brushfire/Universal band Rogue Wave, as well as collaborating with members of Vetiver, Avi Buffalo, and The Mother Hips.

A couple tracks from the new album

The Origami Recording Lounge

24 Jan

Currently we are in the process of recording our latest album to be titled Waiting For Saturn at the Origami Recording Lounge in Chico, CA.  It is a great space and the owner/engineer Scott Barwick kicks ass.  On Jan 28 we are putting on a show at the Lounge with our friends The Amblers and The Hot Tar Roofers who are coming up from Sac for this show.  We have invested a lot of our energy lately in this studio and that’s why it’s gonna be so much fun to perform there for our friends.  Hope to see you there.

Thanks and the new album
