John and Peter's Thanks/Setlist/Video!

Swimmers!

Thanks to all ye who came out to John and Peter's this past Saturday, twas a blast! Would also like to thank John and Peter's for having us, The Laundrymen for kicking the night off right (and for saving the day by lending me an acoustic guitar) and my guards who powered through the long sets, especially Dr.Ew who didn't have a keyboard due to a Korg/Nord miscommunication, and Timmay who was getting over the flu and yet still managed to do sound-guy duties all night, in addition to rocking hard like a champ. I'm a lucky gal. Here's a rough rundown of what we played, some are probably out of order:

Whiny White Boy
New Family
Cruel and Usual Punishment
Some Kind of Animal
Country Roads
Lost Boy
Overtired
Dire Straits
Oh No
Lonely Hwy
The Red Eye
We
All Kinds of Fate

We'll be back soon with more fun stuff. Stay tuned and safe swimming,

Happy New Year!

Swimmers,

We shot this video the other night on New Year's Eve at Boro and Kato's fun party. Twas a last minute idea we managed to pull it off thanks to my lovely and talented wife Eve who shot it, Kato who helped wrangle everybody, and everybody at the party who cooperated and did their best to remain as still as possible for 4+ minutes, which was certainly not easy (Nick was really ramming me into that wall pretty hard). I recorded the music yesterday with some help from Steve Honoshowsky on drums, Tim Dempsey on banjo, baritone guitar and lap steel, and Brad Clymer on trumpet. It's fun stuff I think. Hope you enjoy it. Happy New Year and let's hope 2014 is a lot cooler than 2013.
