We’re playing an all ages show in Portland this Saturday with our dear friends The Ascetic Junkies and Ezra Carey.

In the meantime, we’re writing more songs and getting ready to go into the studio to record a 30second instrumental track that may appear on the next Parson Red Heads record.  That’s really exciting!

Enjoy the 5 minute weather we’re having if you’re in the NW right now.

The mail arrived today, and what do you know, some of the merch arrived today!  New buttons with artwork by Maren B.  We’ll be offering the new buttons and stickers at the shows this weekend on Friday in Corvallis and on Saturday at the Alberta Art Hop!

See you soon!

Hvordan har du det?  (That’s Norwegian for “How are you today?” to all you English speakers out there)

I’ve been wanting to release a couple of demos that were recorded back in December by myself and Adam with the help of our friends Mark Cleaver of The Vicious Kisses and Brian Harvey from Pine Language.  We spent the cold winter day in Mark’s grandma’s house in the logging town of Philomath, OR.  It was a fun day that we used to get some really splendid ideas down.  This isn’t anything like what the eventual tracks will sound like, but it was merely a couple of one takes.  What I’ve included is two songs that are up for your listening.

Motown Sound DEMO -Although this isn’t the actual title of the song, it’s a working title so we can recognize it in rehearsals and upcoming setlists.  We’ve recently revamped the song and it sounds fantastic!  Listen to that Magnus air organ Adam brought back from Austin.  It sounds killer!

Younger DEMO – This is one of my favorites to play right now.  This is a very early stripped down version.  I was writing lyrics on the spot and it turned out alright.  Everything was a one take.  Brian Harvey is playing the lead on 12 string.

Enjoy the new ideas!  There’s always more to come!

Cheers -

Thanks to all who made that show just plain wonderful. We were blown away by the crowd.

Yes. Get on the flickr site to see all of them.  More shows being planned and put on the show page. New songs being written… We will be playing some tunes we’ve re-done in the next few shows; trying on new clothes.. If you will.

P.S. I’m not in pain like I might seem in that pic above.

We’ve got a couple of em comin’ up in Corvallis, Portland and Bend.  I just found a poster for the Portland show and took it off a pole in my neighborhood.  Eh, I guess you get by with what you have and make do.  Corvallis this Saturday the 20th, Portland the following Friday, the next day in Bend.  We’ll see you there!
