This song was recorded & performed January 21st in Tyler’s bedroom as a last minute get together before our show that night @ the New Orleans Howlin’ Wolf. It had been written just a couple days before then and we wanted to take some time to work out some parts before the show. Luckily, Cody from http://www.goodmusicallday.com had his camera on him and managed to catch it. Enjoy! Let us know what you think

We just finished putting together a lot of exciting shows this spring, and we really wanted to tell y’all about them.

We’re really excited to be playing as a part of Chinquapin Records‘ upcoming Chindig 04 this Mardi Gras! This will be the first of two nights at Cafe Prytania (right off the parade route), after all that day’s parades and debauchery have officially ended. We’ll be playing with our best friends in Country Club and Vox & the Hound, and we’ll be playing some brand new jams and old goodies.

“Got Along” (Acoustic) Live From Austin, TX 1/1/2012

John — Thu, 05 Jan 2012 14:26:19 +0000

Hey guys,

We’ve had a really great week on tour so far with our best buds Caddywhompus. After spending a rowdy New Year’s Eve playing a house party in Austin, we woke up the next morning and decided to shoot a video in front of some of the debris. Included is the scorched carcass of a couch that got incinerated (and got the fire department called) on the bonfire.

It was pretty nuts. Big thanks to T, Trevs, and Sean for helping us and the rest of the Chinquapin fam make New Years 2012 in Austin a night never to forget. Also THX CHRIS REHM and Harrison Smith for editing this sweet video.

Hope you enjoy! If you’d like a copy of the audio for jamming purposes, use the link below.

Thanks for listening!

Two New Free Songs – “Arrange/Got Along” Live & “Tell Me Why” (Cover)

ross — Mon, 04 Jul 2011 07:52:17 +0000

First off, HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY!!!! As part of our ongoing campaign to keep gaining Facebook fans as we release a new demo, song, cover, etc, etc for every 100 fans gained, we are excited to announce that we have two more tracks for you guys that we’re sure you’ll love. Since we have now reached the 1,200 & 1,300 mark, we have two songs for you today!

1. Arrange/Got Along

[Right click save as to download]

This past June 2011, we had the pleasure of being able to play a benefit show @ local DIY mecca, Breezys in a very rare 3-piece form that was a hella good time. The track opens with the ever so smooth & sweltering Sharks Teeth track “Arrange” & then moves into “Got Along,” a track off of our upcoming EP “Gifts.”

2. Tell Me Why

[Right click save as to download]

This one is quite the gem. Just a good old lazy day homage to the great Neil Young and his track “Tell Me Why” recorded by Tyler in his bedroom after we ran out things to watch on Netflix. Hope you like it!

So, Thanks again!

Be sure to keep on keeping on with suggesting us to your friends! We can’t thank you guys enough for the support you have given us already. Also, if you haven’t already, sign up for our email list on the right side of the page – we’ll be announcing some more exciting news very soon!
