In May we’ve got not one, not two, but — oh wait, actually it is two. Two shows in May. We’ll playing early shows at El Rio on May 6th and 13th. Everyone loves this venerable Mission institution (the El Rio, not Joe), and it’s  is a great place to hear us — especially if the weather is nice, and we can play out on the backyard patio. We dig El Rio’s super-mixed, only-in-SF crowd. Please join us!

Sweet! We got to record the lion’s share of material for our album-to-be in one of the Bay Area’s most storied studios: the big room at Berkeley’s Fantasy Studios. We got to use all those drool-worthy mics and fabulous SSL board for the princely sum of FREE — thanks to Josh Hecht and his recording students, who used us as their practice players.
