I’ve noticed several of you coming very close to dancing at our shows lately. This is good! We’ve always been a dance band. When we were in France recently, and were not linguistically proficient enough to say “We are a dance band” en francais , there were quite a few people who were actually dancing. Just because the music compelled them to. (Or maybe because there was not a culture compelling them not to.) (I’m just sayin’.) So, don’t worry! I know that there are some unfamiliar rhythms in our music. And some starts and stops. But these tendencies needn’t be obstacles toward movement. Don’t overthink it: There’s almost always a groove present to allow your nervous system the field day it so desperately craves. And don’t worry about “getting burned” by the brief breaks which sometimes occur: Silence is a beautiful thing to dance to.

Dear Cool Clown Ground Viewers,
Just because you don’t understand it doesn’t mean that we do understand it. The joke could very well be on us! Therefore, it is not an in joke, but an on joke. Thank You For Your Continued Patience!
Thanks, Hideout
The Hideout served as the scene for yet another release show. Such a warm room, that. We love playing there. Thanks to The Hideout and all who attended the official unveiling of No Ifs, Ands or Dogs.
Thanks, Europe!
Looks like the Carmen/Thymme/Jeff/Alex/D version of the band made it back in one piece (well, five pieces). Good shows, all around. Maybe there’s a longish blog forthcoming, and maybe there isn’t. In any case, we had the privilege of hanging out with some amazing people in Germany, Switzerland, France and Spain. As always, thank you, Europe, for your warmth and unfailing hospitality!
