Hawthorne, Alberta Street and Beyond

May 3, 2011

Wow, how about that Hawthorne show! Nice crowd estimated at 200+. We opened the show with a good Irish rock set, had a blast and then stuck around to hear our friends Jetpack and Monody. The energy was great, the crowd was lively and I think everybody had a great time. I'm sure we'll have a chance to play with those guys again in the future!
Last night we played a set of music with traveling bard, Colin Clyne. Man that guy has a great voice. He played several songs off his new album and then we played after him. It was quite interesting because he had a video crew there shooting him for a DVD project he's working on. Dan, our sound man, ended bringing a ton of recording equipment so that Colin could be recorded live as well. Much thanks to him for all the hard work he put in last night. If you ever get a chance to meet Colin, he's a super nice guy. Really pleasant to work with and the kind of guy you just want to share a pint and some stories with. He plans to be back in Portland again with his band soon, so we hope to get to hear him again in a few months. Also, thanks to Skot and Steve with 67 music for arranging for us to play with him. 2 more good guys! We plan to have many more dealings with them in the future.
As far as upcoming shows go, we're continuing our crazy week with an acoustic show this friday at the Geezer Gallery, then next Saturday we're off to Seattle for the Great West Coast Craic! We hope to see some Portlanders there, and remember- if you let us know, we can get you discounted tickets! That show will be off the charts!! See you there.
