I’m about to head out to do some hiking at Enchanted Rock here in the Texas Hill Country but I wanted to post up on some other good folks playing SXSW this year while I have my morning coffee. Now, for some odd reason, it’s a little tricky to figure…
Holy crap, it’s only seven days until we hit SXSW 2013 and we’re running around left and right prepping for it. SXSW is always a huge challenge and this year is no different. The stage manager has been really phenomenal to work with and, make no doubt about it, with…
Jeez it’s only two weeks until our spaceship touches down at SXSW!!! Wild, huh? We tried to contact Ralph McQuarrie to do some concept art but the dude died almost one year ago. I shit you not! McQuarrie died last year! Doesn’t that bum you out? Dude, I still have the old…
That relaxed look from Steve is the look of good beer and a good rehearsal. Tuesday was our first “serious” rehearsal for SXSW and, surprisingly, it went pretty darn well. Normally, when we shift from recording or songwriting to focus on live shows, we tend to be a little rusty…
Yes folks, it’s a mere 4 weeks out from SXSW. That means it’s time to get serious and last Tuesday was our last chance to goof off, jam, and work on newer material before we hunker down to polish up the set. We’ve been working on three songs for the…

Hey check it out! “Crom” was used in this little clip of Carey Hart & Jeff Emig at Sandfest 2012! Neat!
Yes friends, with Spring creeping up on us, so too is our next appearance at SXSW on March 15th. With only five weeks until our showcase, that means getting together a game plan: set list, who is going up when , who is taking what, and the basic requirement of securing some type of…
We’ve been kind of excited about SXSW since they gave us the nod on an official showcase a few months back. And there is a lot to be excited about at this year’s SXSW like Nick Cave and Shaquille “(I Know I Got) Skillz” O’Neal! Oh yes, you heard me right, SHAQ!!! But I digress….…
We just got this in yesterday – a review by the always amusing Ned Raggett in which he describes the anthology as… “…yet another in the now established tradition of Texas freaks. Songs about bug people, aliens, swords and sorcery, axes and hamburgers, pure dorkishness as excelsis, but the point is, it also…
