if you really find it necessary to pigeonhole our sound, i suppose the one i could live with is from some review i read a long time ago that equated us as a mix between mudhoney and the sugarcubes...dan.

hey look! we even had frank kozik create a concert poster for us...can you believe it is selling for $100 online
Y'all made some beautiful music and played some beautiful shows. Some of my favorite memories from the old Boise days were dancing to you in my own world in a sea of cute hippie punk girls, in their own world next to me.
Sorry bros and ladies, I didnt roll to the Halloween show. I had heard it was a seated affair, and to my way of thinking, seats are for sittin', shows are for rockin and they don't supply rocking chairs. Much love, I hope to see you play again soon.
what a fuckin' fantastic show!!! it brought back so many sweet memories of my groupie days and i got to see many from the past. saturday reminded me again that the dirt fishermen is truly my most favorite band ever, and mr.newkirk you are my drum god!!! xoxo
Great show last night! I loved everything about it. It was also so cool to hang out with you all at Gernika the other night. I can't wait until the Egyptian show.

PS i'm a fly fishermen sometimes. is that at all like the dirt scene? you know, soil scientists take offense to the word dirt. so you might want to watch yourself around them soil scientists, they can be a little agro about it all sometimes...
These songs bring back a lot of memories. I had to pull the DF cd out and listen to it again...a few times. I can totally see Dan hopping up and down on the stage.
