New recordings coming very soon

We just got done mixing some awesome tracks of the new arrangements we've been performing with the brass section. Keep checking back to make sure you hear them, and find out how you can have them for your very own!

By the way here's what I'm hearing/seeing/reading:

We had a great show at Kimo's on the 25th, and thanks to Blisses B, the Hurricane Roses, and Fierce Bad Rabbit for an amazing evening of rock/indie/alt-country/dance aural excitement. If you've never been to that club then you're missing out. The good news we're currently mixing and editing some video of the evening so if you missed the show you can experience it almost as if you were there, and if you were there, you can relive the experience again and again! We've also got plans to record the arrangements for all of our hardcore fans.

The Asylum

We're excited to be the featured artist at the Asylum Open Mic - we're mixing things up for the "unplugged" vibe, with Chelsea on the bass clarinet, Aaron on the trumpet, and Mike with a sweet electric guitar tone. You probably should just go.

Great show this last Friday at the DYS gallery hosted by the Yoga Shala on South First in San Jose. We're planning on doing more of the stripped-down, chamber orchestra type shows so keep updated so you don't miss it! Also be sure to listen/support/purchase the music of our new friends The Mighty Russian Winter from San Francisco.
