Philadelphia, February 4th.  Get ‘em here.

Thanks to everyone who braved the monsoon Saturday to come out and see us at The Fire in Philly.  It was loud, waterlogged, boozy, and thoroughly enjoyable.  Thanks to Liam and Me and The Fire for having us.  If you couldn’t make it, you missed a couple more great sets by Raccoon Fighter and Family of the Year, so check them out.  We’ll be back in Philly soon enough, can’t wait.

Stay tuned for more show updates…

Well, Saturday found us basking in warm weather and sipping on cool Lions Head before ultimately rocking the F out of the North Star for the first time in… a while.  Philadelphia turned out in humbling numbers and we are truly appreciative.  Thanks to everyone who came out and thanks to Freezepop and Plushgun for having us.  Already looking forward to next time.

Photos to follow…

What do you do when you have hundreds of songs in your archives that are not being heard?  You post them on your blog.

This track is from our days in Philadelphia. Josh and our crony, John Clay, were headed over to my mother house to pick me up for a little joy riding.  Knowing that their trip took roughly 30 minutes, I ran to my basement to lay down a quick track.  Upon realizing that I was without most of my instruments I decided to see what I could with the gear I had (Taylor 12 string, Fender bass, microphone).

Soaked in reverb and harmony, the song is capable of being both pleasant, and, dare I say, strange.  Enjoy.

The Tentative Titles: Strange

This past Monday, on the eve of our EP release, Tim traveled to our old stomping grounds to promote The White Balloon. Thankfully, through all the excitement, our PALM Centro was in the capable hands of our resident Phone-tographer, Hailey. First stop was in the heart of our old neighborhood Manayunk, and the studio of Philly’s most dedicated and supportive radio station Skin Radio. For those of you who missed the live broadcast, Tim was interviewed by our good friend Al and performed a few solo selections from The White Balloon.

Later that night it was off to one of Philly’s most diverse and respected venues World Cafe Live, home to 88.5 WXPN radio, for an encore performance. The built-in crowd at WCL was digging the tunes and Tim stuck around for some meet-and-greet action. All in all it was a successful trip to the town that birthed us and an inspired debut for The White Balloon.
Stay tuned for more info on Philly show dates coming up this summer.
