Secret Sound Shop – Basement Tapes
Our buddies from Secret Sound Shop spent some time with us in a dim and echoey basement a few months back, and they wrote this good post as record of the event. We served up renditions of Sleep til Morning and Food From the Cow, all amidst some real basement flotsam.
Texan Thanksgiving
We were in Austin and environs for the Thanksgiving holiday this year — seeing family, playing a few shows, and washing ourselves in wond’rous Texan goodness. Here are a few photos from the trip. Special thanks to Bruce Curtis and Kristen Warnick for keeping the camera shutters clickin’ while were there.
“Longest Day of the Year” — Sycamore, Brooklyn, NY
We totally had a ball at the “Dress Up” record release show – lots of good people and one of our favorite li’l venues in town. We had intended to post a clip of “Pictures of You”, from the new album, but that song pretty much blew up in our faces, to much bewilderment and awe among all assembled. At least that’s how we recall it. In any case, here’s a more tame capture of a brand new song of ours.
“That’s a nice ring.”
After a little bit of eavesdropping at the beginning here, this video settles into a pretty good capture of one of our newest songs, called “The Slowing and the Start”. We debuted this song on our spring dates this year, and this recording is from NYC’s Rockwood Music Hall on 4/15/11. Take a listen…

“Where We Met” video by Jim Collier
We celebrated the release of our debut record with this video from the wond’rous Jim Collier. Jim’s worked with both of us in the past (he did this for Hem and this for the Sprinkle Genies), and he drove with us from Windsor Terrace to Coney Island one hot summer day.
Peter Rad Photoshoot – April 2010
Last spring our friend Peter Rad took these photos in Brooklyn. A few hours later we packed ourselves into a car and literally drove through the night to make it to Louisville’s WFPK and Motherlodge Festival. Unfortunately we didn’t make the trip in that pink car. We have no idea whose car that is, but thank you.
