So, obviously, it's been quite some time since we've updated. Life has taken us all in different directions: Damon has moved to Washington DC, Darin to San Francisco, and I'm in New York. Before moving off, we recorded our sophomore album, That Old Kentucky Blackgrass, and that album is on hold in post production for now. We'll wrap it up and get it to you ASAP, but I wouldn't expect it any time soon. Aaron came and visited me several months ago, and we recorded a third album on Aaron's four track recorder, tentatively called "Waking Up," and Wells is hard at work adding his parts and doing his Wellsian thing. I imagine"Waking Up" will be available early next year. Stay tuned for more...
“Julia, On Her Prayer Stand” is our new song from our newly recorded album, That Old Kentucky Blackgrass (coming 2007), and is now available on our Myspace Profile. It’s a sparse and psychedelic ditty for the Baby Jesus’ birthday, and I hope you like it.
She keeps asking where the door goes. Well, dear, it opens a wall. Go and open it right now, reveal the great hall- let loose the hose that knows where all the words, they go; the point of this speech: This sequence of events is not coincidence.

South By Southwest was absolutely amazing, and Austin treated us better than the likes of us deserve. The streets were full of music and people smiling and dorks crying over some amazing set they just saw and us crying over the amazing sets we just saw.
The whole story is forthcoming on I See Sound, but till then, check out Citybeat.
Also, thank you to John, Jon, and Max at Elysium for being so accomodating and hospitable, and to Ron and Kyle for making the "Summercamp" family barbeque my favorite show we've ever played.
