Round 2 at the Ukranian Federation venue, first Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy on Friday and now a double-whammy of music goodness with the joint double LP release from Elfin Saddle and Clues. Looks like no amount of heat will mess with a good time as both bands rocked the house. Can’t wait for tonight.

Enter Erik Virtanen with guitar case in hand. He joined us on the picnic blanket that had become rumpled over [...]

Erin and I sometimes tease each other about how it rains or snows almost every night that our band plays. Makes us feel like the 90’s band Garbage with that song, you know? Cuz we don’t mind. Neither should you! Tonight we’re playing with a few other very lovely folks such as Postcards (who have [...]
