    CD release Show

    Hello again!  Just wanted to send word of our recently booked CD release show.  We will be celebrating "Beautiful Mechanical" at Rockwood Music Hall Stage 2 on December 4th at 7pm.  We realize that date seems far in the future, but it's the first moment at which our schedules coincide for long enough to rehearse and perform.  The venue is intimate and sounds great and will be an excellent space for our music.  We hope you will consider attending if you are in the area.

    We will be sending private messages to those of you who contributed enough to receive free tickets to the performance.  In the meantime, thanks again for all of your support and we hope you are enjoying the album as much as we are!

    Artwork!

    Things are beginning to feel super album-y! We just sent in our artwork (below is just a glimpse), which was created by the talented and charming DM Stith, with whom we are thrilled to have had the opportunity to work on the visual aspect of this record. (THAT. that is an awkward sentence. We meant well.)

    Again, a HUGE thanks to everyone, and let's keep it going!! We can't wait to bring you this record. Here's another fun performance vid (with some super beloved subs on woodwinds) from our performance at the 2011 MusicNow Festival with Shara Worden:
