07/12/2015 Notes

WhyNot is upon us and we are taking a little bit of time to make the band a live concern. Playing as a three-piece is a different dynamic, but we kind of snapped into it after a little bit of fiddling around. It is an interesting place to be as a band because, as Jake pointed out, we can do whatever we want going forward and there is very, very little of our older material that we can play live. 

There are now 4 songs in the set. We are playing Metro/Coast from our debut full-length, and have written 3 new songs that currently don’t have titles. We set up the mics and recorded the set for our own amusement. Nick from Wild Hands, Crooked Gospel, running Souris River Brewing, and generally being awesome, came over and put new heads on Amanda’s drums. They sound really, really good.

Another fun thing about the new set is that both Jake and I (Jason) have delved fully into the depths of our midwestmodulation pedals and the new songs are much noisier and crazier than the older ones.

We are playing these 4 songs Thursday, August 6th at Souris River Brewing. Vanity Plate, Dani Raccoon, and the Extended Benders are also playing. Gates at 8pm, music starts at 9:00, not sure where we are in the lineup. The last outdoor show we played there was so much fun, we’re really looking forward to it. Then Saturday, August 8th we will be playing at Otis and James at 8pm. Lots of great stuff to see all weekend.
