Keys to the Kingdom
The past is ever with us, Every was is still, pushing us on - the future before us pulling. Too briefly trapped in the moment, we struggle to understand. In faith, we sing. Let the music become a magic current, a path from the holy past to the unknowable future. Take reassurance in the glory of the moment and the forever promise of tomorrow. Sing the phantom song, honeysuckle sweet with the mule...
WatchOffdaze Mix No. 2 - MLK

Offdaze Mix No. 1
As promised, here’s the first little tape for y’all. Just a mix of some of our current favorite songs. I suppose I’ll put one of these up every Monday?
A little anecdote regarding the Rick James track: We happened upon the ‘Superfreak’ b/w ‘Give it to Me, Baby’ 45 a while back and were pondering the indubitably exorbitant cocaine intake during it’s...

General goings on.
Regrettably, our tour with Junior Astronomers is over. We’re home in Nashville for a few days. Flying to Idaho on Friday for a private show outside of Sun Valley. As of now the only thing I know about Idaho is that potatoes are and Built to Spill are their top exports. After that we have a few college shows filling out this month, which are below.
In the meantime, respond to this with some...

Van Down.
Broken down in Thomasville, NC. We’ll still be in Charlotte at the Snug Harbor tonight, but for now these lovely ladies are keeping us company . Apparently we’re in “Chair City”. About to set out on an adventure for coffee/the “big chair”.
Wolf Like Me w/ Junior Astronomers 7/27
We’ve been covering TV On the Radio’s “Wolf Like Me” with Junior Astronomers on this tour and our friend Derek Middlebrook took some video of it last night in Atlanta. Proof that we’ve been steamrolling the South together. There’s also a hefty chunk of our song “Steamboat” afterwards.
