Well, my buddy Jesse Pine Dukes came up to me a while ago and said he wanted to record a fairly faithful cover version of "I Get Around" by the Beach Boyzzzzzzz....I said, "Alright. Let's give it a go."
And of course, Kickstarter is almost done!!! Less than 2 days to hit the goal!!!!
Woot Woot.
Beams at MACRoCK again this year!!! And also note Invisible Hand and Corsair playin this year too--as well as a ton of other great bands. Check the site out here and be sure to follow them janks on the twitterfeed.
In other news, I've been on the road with the invisible hand for the last 3 nights and will continue to be for the next 2 and a half weeks!!! We are in VA Beach tonight at a joint called Concrete at 1703 Mediterranean. If you know anyone in the area, send em our way...and we are touring with buds Naked Gods who are the jam. We, like many others, are making the pilgrimage to Austin next week for SXSW, and we're rocking and eating ourselves to death while doing it. Already miss my love Emma and my cat Wayne and I hope they welcome home the fatass who will return at the end of the month.
And of course I must mention the Kickstarter campaign and the new record!!! We have broken 2 grand, but we have less than a week now to secure the rest!!! So please please link the page on twitter and facebook and help us nail it!!!!!!!!!!!
And look forward to a little unrelated audio treat very soon...it might be a cover of a song by a band with a name that sounds like The Peach Buoys...
Shoulda gone falsetto on those choruses I guess....the Dan wrote 'em high.
Homeboyz Dwight (Royal Rhino Flying Records) and Jheri (GetOfftheCoast) put out a mixtape at their new tape-label, Crash Symbols...Lots of great artists, including the Borrowed Beams and Invisible Hand!!! New tracks y'all.
Get it here.
And as always...keep Kickstarting...
