Whenever someone asks me “Say, Marcus, what is it like to create ART?” (no one has ever asked me that) I respond by showing them this video (I recite the URL from memory, actually).
I give you “Cookie Monster In Reverse”,
I’m bloggin’ this to you in reverse

Alright, we’re back with another update. We have all been very busy with our last West Coast jaunt at the end of May with Voxtrot, and Mitch and I’s tour to Washington DC and New York City to play the last of Voxtrot’s shows on their Goodbye Cruel World tour just this last week. It was a bitter sweet ending, melancholy but fun. I feel very select and fortunate and lucky to have been apart of Voxtrot’s tours and doings for these last many years, and it was an appropriate ending for something that I have such fond memories of.
Here’s one of a number of photos shot by our friend, David Greenwald, of Rawkblog.net, during our show at the Echo in May. I really like this photo of Mitch. You don’t always get to see guitar players gesticulating with their hands onstage, since they are busy with their instrument, so I thought this photo amongst the rest was pretty unique.
Here’s another that I just thought looked really pleasant.
Sometimes I sing, too:

Also! Our dear friend and perpetual 5th member, George Morrow, AKA George the Man, has amassed tons of videos and photos chronicling our travels last month from Austin to the West Coast and back. Please check back very shortly, because he and Mitch will have them up soon and he did a fantastic job as usual of documenting everything that happens in and out of the van, the shows, the floors we slept on, etc etc etc.

We are very happy to announce our induction into the Athens Pop Fest 2010 roster, joining other fantastic acts such as the Afternoon Naps, Rose Melberg, Oh Ok (Michael Stipe’s sister’s fantastic 80s pop group), and Mission of Burma, etc., etc.
Appearing here, voila:
The Little Kings Shuffle Club, August 11th, at 9:00-9:30 PM.
A few more tentative ”TBA” shows appearing in the South as we travel to and from Athens will be posted shortly.
Oh, and keep alert for some photos and videos (courtesy George Morrow and our very own Mitch Calvert) from our very, very recently completed tour to San Francisco and back.
I’d like to start a new feature on the blog featuring drummers and their opinionings. It probably won’t go much further than these drummer’s opinion things here. Who knows, Marcus and Matt probably have a few more where these came from (…maybe):
Regarding Pfeiffer Beach @ Big Sur:
You made me laugh a lot!
I went out to Marfa and caught the Echotone premier at the Marfa Film Festival. It was very entertaining.
Here are some photos of Sunset preparing their hoods for their performance at Padre’s that afternoon. Also very entertaining.
