Mmmm I would love a piece of Tost, thanks for asking

So I have to confess, the previous postings have all been written weeks or months after the content actually took place. You see, we have been playing a bit of a catch up with this blog and we aren't there yet. So when it sounds like these things have just happened remember that this blog has so far had a 30 second TV delay.

We have begun working with a one of the nicest people in Seattle's music scene, Jenn Meyers. She has taken on the weight of working as our booking agent. This is either a massive miscalculation on her part or a move to complete community service hours. I am not sure which, but for her sake I hope we get good quick.

She has already begun to labor in our name and the fruits will make a nice marmalade (wait for it). We will be playing Tost on the 6th of May! Come out and have a drink with us.

I feel we are almost caught up!
We Love You
Ian

And now another record begins

With the X sessions almost wrapped up ( I think) and a release date to be announced later this spring, Matt and I have begun work on a project that we hope you might like as well.

In three late night sessions with mastermind Josh Evens we have been able to get down what we think is a pretty nice collection of acoustic pieces. The majority of record so far is just two acoustic guitars and matt and my vocals. On occasion we have mingled a bit of electric, piano and Rhodes in the with the songs where we thought it might be appropriate. We were also able to enlist the help of the Limbs front man Matt Hanrahan on hand claps, foot stomps and banging on things.

We have been able to track 13 songs so far and we hope to chisel it down to 10. The other three will be free to down load soon.

More news soon!
