Electric Mohawk – June 21

We just picked up a last minute show at the Mohawk tomorrow, 6/21.  A chance to catch us play in Austin on the first day of summer.

The lineup is excellent and has been put together by the awesome Ultra8201 and Adi Anand. (Note: Our feelings go out to The Politics, who had a family emergency which led to us falling into this show.   We are honored to play in their place. )  Doors are at 8p and show starts at 9P sharp! $5 cover. VidKidz will be throwing light on us to make your brain cells go crazy!!

Summer Synthesizers

 

Hello friends! We’ve been rehearsing on the reg and we’re having so much fun playing music recently. We feel like a brand new band! Jaylinn just upgraded to an Ampeg SVT and the bass has never sounded so fat or was so heavy to carry. Look at them glow together! It’s true love.

I recently got some iPhone apps created by Brian Eno that blew my mind; Bloom, Troupe and Air. They are ambient heaven. We had a jam session the other night around the Air app and created something magical in our own living room. Check out Bloom here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-swFqAT8yaA
