Spring tour dates, new merch...

I just spent the night in Columbus recording uber-talented jazz musician Matt Mitchell on trumpet and flugelhorn for the upcoming record. I'm starting to get excited for it. But first thing's first: another tour in support of "The Road Spit Me Out". I've ordered more of the hand silk-screened album art.

Happy New Year!

OK! 2009 is over, thank the lord. New Year's resolution #1: Actually give a shit about the online stuff related to the band/label. I guess that it's not that I don't give a shit so much as I don't know what I'm doing so I then get frustrated and/or bored and give up and do something else. No more! Let's get this world wide web! Ready?! OK!

Welcome to the new blog

Hey hey. Testing testing, check one, check two. I'll get this up and running soon.
