Summer Time, and the Living's Easy

Been awhile since we've blogged! Not due to lack of activity, nope, there's been lots going on, but it's tough to sit in front of a computer when it's all hot and sweaty out and there's summer to be had.

Over the summer, our drummer, Rachel, was in Albuquerque on an internship. We did two shows with our friend and guest drummer James Doxon (of Mumford's and Ladysoal fame, and a great chef and stand up guy in general), we did a few acoustic shows with just Jordan, Greg, and myself (this was about the last band configuration we hadn't explored!), we wrote some new songs, and I did a small tour with Mumford's and Utopia Park on their much longer Conquest of Dreams tour, playing guitar and seeing crowds along the East Coast.

All of which was a lot of fun, and rejuvenating, but now I'm in Albuquerque, and tomorrow is Rachel's last day of work here in New Mexico, so we're getting ready to return to Ames for good, get the band all back in one geographic location, and start rocking again!

Check out our upcoming shows to the left, which we're excited about, and we're also looking to record a track at Sound Farm Studios for their Sonic Harvest compilation, and we have a few other tricks up our sleeves we'll be talking about soon as well (including getting back to work on the first SLB full length album).
