This time I spelled Brookland right!!!!
Our label mates The Brave Baby will be releasing their new record Saturday night at NBT. Supported by ANOTHER Hearts & Plugs act, ELIM BOLT. PLUS our good, dear, sweet, wonderful, awesome friends in Rejectioneers will be playing. And if you haven’t seen Foley, well that’s just silly.
Columbia, I really, really hope to see you there.
(They aren’t really called the brave baby. That’s what makes it funny.)
Yes. Lovedrug. It was great.
Whether you’re there tonight or not, please remember that we have a very interesting show planned for you tomorrow night. That’s Monday, March 26. Doors are at 7 and it only costs $5. Well, if you’re under the age of 21 it costs $8, but honestly I can’t think of why any of you yipper snappers would want to see us. We’re old. And weird. And probably your teacher.
But if you’re 21 and up, you get it.
Seriously though, tomorrow is going to get weird. We are starting the set with one of our heaviest numbers, introducing a new song that has a glitch-dance section, AND we’re in between chamber-pop wonder Seashell Radio and Double Tongue. You don’t even have to follow the hyperlinks, the names say it all.
Still, we’d love to see you there if for no other reason than because it’s going to be Monday night and everyone could use a good start to their week.
Sorry for the technical issues earlier. We will re-post the correct final photoset for The Orionids recording later.

The Tucson, AZ, band asked us to join them this Monday night here in town. We were honored to be asked to play with this chamber-pop group featuring members of Calexico. While the connection is loose (i.e. they’re not Americana, nor are they fronted by the guy who was on “Wait Wait” this past weekend), it’s there, and as my wife says “You don’t say no to Calexico.”
Seashell is a relatively new group doing some very fun music. I hear Kopecky and Rocketboys . This weekend is full of good music, and Monday nights can be tough, but we’d really love to see you out. Come support traveling musicians so more groups will want to come to the Columbia area. Plus, we still have a good deal of comfortable and stylish t-shirts we need you wear this fine spring.
Remember, you don’t say no to seashell radio.
Thanks guys.
April 30 at New Brookland Tavern in West Columbia, SC.
With Efren, a band from neighboring Georgia, and locals The Restoration.
Doors open at 8pm. All ages are welcome. $7 if you are an elder (that’s 21 or over, not necessarily a leader in the church). $10 if you are a youngster (that is 20 or younger, not necessarily a child).
So, come check stuff out.
I will be debuting a new song, either at this show or the next one, at the House of Softcore on May 6 with Girls in Trouble.
More details on THAT on the way.
See you Saturday.
