Hello everyone, I thought I should write a quick note to throw out some updates and keep you posted on what we’re up to lately…

First off, thanks to everyone who came out to the High Park Fire benefit at Hodi’s Halfnote last Saturday, that was an incredible show of support for and from our community and we had an amazing and inspiring time. This is such a great place to live!

If you did attend that show, you no doubt noticed (through all the haze and lights!) that our bass player looked a little different… Phil has decided it was time to move on and spend more time on other projects (The Sickly Ferguson, Firebirdies). He remains a great friend and we wish him the best of luck in the future! Replacing him on bass will be Chris Santolla, fresh to town from New York City. Chris is a great guy and we’re lucky to have him on board, so please give him a warm welcome if you run into him at our shows!

Now about those upcoming show, unfortunately, our show at the Mishawaka with DeVotchKa has been *canceled* due to the High Park Fire. This is a tough thing to announce, we were greatly looking forward to rocking the Mish again especially with such an awesome bill but this is just how these things go. At least the Mish still exists, so many have lost everything to that damn fire.

The next show we’ve got coming up is next weekend at the Pancakes and Booze event in Denver on Friday June 29th with The Foot. This will be lead guitarist Erik’s last show with us, he too thought this was a good summer to work on his solo album and he’s been kind enough to hang out and play shows with us even as he gets ready to begin the recording process. You can check out his progress here.

Lastly, we’re getting ready to enter recording mode again very soon and we’ve decided that rather than finding another guitarist, we’ll be returning to a four piece like the band was originally. It was a tough decision to come to but we feel like it’s time to feature a little more cello than what was heard on The New Normal. I can’t tell you how excited I am personally for this next step in the band’s evolution. We have SO many new songs we want you to hear…
