...and i continually express my thanks to YOU as well. It was an honor and a privelage for me to have you a part of this project, it was important for us to do that. I will treasure the memory of the glee club harmonies for a long time to come. Thanks also for sharing the stage in new sweden....fun! chill tent 2010!!! ALL the best to you... stay in touch.
yay/dang! more updates from the road, you guys! seger's typically on point, however, so that makes sense that road living is hard. we're sad that you're out for the 3rd; i still want to rock a video on the 4th, btw. also, janane is talking about an iele tree show on the 26th, the one night you're in town? you are by no means obligated to play, but just know that this is shaping up. take care, gang!
that's the yard sale of your dreams, everybuggy. peruse our selection of vintage clothes, ancient hi fi, vinyl, cassettes, 1970s stuffy stuff -- and l'animaux wares, too, including a special chance to buy the first copies of our debut tempera LP, even before our SPACE gallery release show on friday, june 12.
highlight of this backyard event will be a rendition of dronesale no. 1 by our own in-house "american drone band." a unique cassette recording of the drone, the cassette recorder itself, and the instrument that each droner played will all be made available for purchase immediately following the performance.
Im gonna try to make Aroostakoostic this year for sure.. gotta support you guys, its a great venue.. I am playing in a metal band in edmunston, we are in the process or writing originals and covering a few tunes (lamb of god, killswitch engage, in flames). Its a good time! Our sound is pretty massive and the drums are still soundin crisp! haha. Hopefully catch u soon buddy..
