Wonder Ballroom Pictures

Wonder Ballroom was great! All the bands were awesome, and about 500 people came out. Greg Schroeder took the pictures below.

Hymn Song Live

A while back we played Hymn Song at a restaurant in Long Beach. It was kind of a strange show. Later Jared Mees & The Grown Children inspired mass shirtlessness and a lot of broken glass. Fortunately much of it was caught on tape. Below is our performance of Hymn Song, and you can see one of Jared's songs here.



We'll be playing with Jared again at The Wonder Ballroom June 5 in Portland. Join us!

From The Archives - Daniel

Some time back in 2007 we wrote a song called "Daniel" which didn't quite make it onto our first album, Low Tide. About a year later we revisited it, as we often do with our songs, and came up with a slightly different take.

Have a listen to the demo of Daniel from '08

Timber Timbre

Two videos of Timber Timbre playing for an NPR thing. Timber Timbre released one of my favorite records of last year. I also included one of their songs ("I Get Low") on the first denouement mixtape.

Reading Music

A while back Matt had a great idea: to write a piece of music that is created by musicians interpreting non-musical notation. The piece is different every time it is played. At some point I think it would be cool to record different performances of the piece. Here's what it looks like:
