what other people have to say about day of lions...

"Lead by the rarest of things in this genre (a female), her presence alone is enough to illustrate the otherwise foreign concept that girls don’t have to be the enemy” - Portland Mercury

"The sheer talent apparent in this band is bound to get them places...hints of jazz and the blues... [Gena] proves that Seattle isn’t the only home of the Northwest indie. Strongly recommended." -Boston Globe

"plodding, studies in bummer relationships, loneliness and resignation" -Anchorage Daily News

"very soothing and kind of charming, [Gena’s] nonchalant approach to the vocals matches up nicely with the mellow and chordy guitar parts" -Status Magazine

"Acoustic and undistorted electric guitars strum gentle chords while haunted chanteuse Gena Gastaldi blows her moody zephyr voice into the mic." -Willamette Week

Gena, You are such a Marie de Salle(only with a much better voice). I was waiting to see the dudes from "High Fidelity" walk through the door. Are you totally opposed to doing a Peter F**king Frampton song?

You were all great. I love it when Chuckles plays the ukulele...very sweet.

Dear Lion Friends,

I must offer my sincere apologies for not attending your show last night. I just woke this morning to Charlie's message inviting me, and feel like a total boob. Yesterday some friends intercepted me as I walked home from work downtown, and lured me into an adolescent plot of buying 30 dollars of whiskey and getting hella drunk. My phone died as well. I'm sure if I had gotten Charlie's reminder I would have loved to have attended even more being as drunk as I was. Something was telling me and nagging me to just go home and charge my phone, and I know now that that was it. I am so sorry. And at the next opportunity, I will be at your show with bells on, AND I will buy ya'll a drink, like the old man I have become since we last saw each other. My behavior is unacceptable, and you owe me nothing in the arena of forgiveness. I will remain at your mercy until due time.

Regards, very sincerely and respectfully,

Dhani

P.S. Let's eat some fucking tacos.
Emma Hill
