another day at the earl...

Thanks to all who came out to see us at Dunch a few weeks ago - we all had a great time, and it sounds like everyone else did, too. In fact, our friends over at Evilsponge enjoyed it enough to give us a really nice writeup, complete with lots of great photos of the snowy atmosphere - thanks, guys! And thanks to our friend Dixon for the cool photos above.

We hope to see all of you out again this Saturday night - we're really excited to be opening up another show at the Earl for our good friends the Preakness - it's their first full-length CD-release show, believe it or not. They'll be playing in the middle, and rounding out the killer bill (if we do say so ourselves) will be everybody's faves the Selmanaires. We don't even have to tell you this will be the place to be Saturday night, do we? We'll be rocking, rain or shine - doors open at 9:00.

And keep an eye out here for some more tunes soon - hopefully we'll get some stuff up here for ya before our upcoming show on April 8 at 529...

almost there.

Yep, we're just about to play our first show in quite a while - finally! We know you've been waiting with bated breath, so be sure to come out Sunday to the Earl for Dunch - we should play one set around 1:00pm and another around 2:30. We'll be playing a number of new things in a new configuration, so it should be fresh and exciting for all. Just to keep you entertained until then, here's a couple of Jupiter Watts tunes from Ramon's recent solo show at Kavarna; he's accompanied by our good fried Hutch from Cadillac Jones on standup bass. Thanks to Hutch and Gary for the recording.


the target.

nothing at all.

jupiter watts go multimedia.

Man, we're really slack about updating this thing - but look for several new posts in the next couple of weeks. We've got to get you hyped for our upcoming Dunch show at the Earl, right? Don't forget: March 1, 1:00pm. Until then, keep yourselves entertained with our first foray into video, lovingly crafted by our very own Ramon "the Domingo" Wals:

just a quick reminder...

...to catch Ramon tomorrow night at Kavarna, playing with some friends from Eskimo Kiss. And here's a little one-off jam from a couple months back to get your weekend started out on a relaxed -but-upbeat-but-also-slightly-strange note:

shameless hobos.

Meanwhile, we're headed out to see some friends play a little reggae with Lloyd's Rocksteady Revue at the Five Spot tonight - maybe we'll see you there.

we were never gone...

...we were just keeping quiet. But no more. Expect to see us out and about more often in the near future: Ramon will be doing a solo appearance at Kavarna next Saturday, January 17, and the band will be playing some new material for a Dunch show at the Earl on March 1. Expect to see a lot more recordings popping up here, too.

In the meantime, keep yourselves occupied with this, improvised by three of us on two different occasions in one room:

ironside.

home again, home again....

...and we had a great time all around. We met some wonderful people, saw some rocking bands, checked out some mind-blowing art and spent a little time in three really cool towns. We even got to see some family (thanks for coming, and for the pound cake!). We owe a big thanks to all the folks who helped us out along the way.

We hope you enjoyed the photos from the road. Obviously we didn't figure out how to actually add text to the posts, but it was easier that way, anyway. Look for many a photo from the trip to show up here in the future, though, possibly with a bit more info about our North Carolina odyssey...
