acclaim, local and international

We’re trying not to let it go to our heads. You know, now that we’ve recorded an album that our families all want as Christmas gifts, and that has found sales far and wide. In fact, we’ve gone international already:

Locations of paid downloads on our BandCamp site. The astute map reader will note that these downloads have come from two different countries.

We’ve even sent a few CDs across state lines. Yet, it’s just as exciting to see our CDs on the shelves of our local record store, Lavender Vinyl. In case you’re looking for a copy and can’t find us in person, this is a great solution to all your holiday shopping needs. (And we love Lavender Vinyl, even if they didn’t carry our CDs. I just picked up an old Fats Domino record along with a classic Stevie Wonder album I’ve been wanting.)

And if you page through the local Indie Ogden magazine, holiday edition, you’ll find us right there with all the other bands on the scene:

Our mark in the December gig lineup for Ogden.

So, it could all go to our heads, all the fame and attention. But we don’t pay too much attention. We’re getting ready to play our favorite consignment store in Brigham City this Friday night. Hope to see you there.

Well, that was fun.

On Friday night, good people from all over paid $5 to get in the door; they stayed and listened to music; they bought a few of our freshly pressed CDs; they clapped and sometimes whistled and even danced; and we all got to play music we love. The very welcoming Lighthouse folks worked the sound, heated up Caryn’s water for tea, and brought us beverages from whatever tap we requested. I can’t think of a better way to spend an evening.

We’re already looking forward to returning to Lighthouse on February 1.

It’s here!!!

Happy birthday to our album! As of today, December 6, it is live on streaming services, downloadable, and arriving as an old fashioned CD! Take a look at our music page and visit the liner notes to get a preview.

And it turns out that tonight we’ll celebrate with a gig at Lighthouse Lounge (~9:00 – Midnight, 21+, $5 cover) here in Ogden. We’ll bring CDs as well as our live selves.

It’s us! On the back cover of our very own self-titled CD!

Maybe we’re a little too tied to our technologies and the information that’s stored all over the world in the semiconductors and wires that connect us. But once in a while this creates something celebratory. Just the other day I realized that our album is stored and primed to release on December 6, which means that the internet fairies all “know” our music. Since that includes Shazam, this meant that the magic elf inside my phone could listen to our music and tell us about it. That is, the robots all know about us.

And in a couple of days, so will all of the people. Or, at least you will.

new band member welcome!

We’re excited right now for lots of things, but we should make sure we highlight the most important, most exciting announcement first:

Welcome
to the world and to the band,
Elouise Ada

our apprentice drummer, born over the weekend to Ian (our extraordinary drummer) and Amy. Congratulations to the whole family.

Sure, we have gigs and albums and songs all coming out, but this is easily the most exciting and most adorable news. We can’t wait to have Elouise joining us along with Ian behind the drum set.
