Sundance and such.

Sundance – Mission Control – Acid

I am trying to get a blog up real quick before we head out for the next several days so bear with my brevity. I’m so killer excited about the next several whirlwind days! Tomorrow we roll out to ATL to play with The Whigs. It’s their CD release show for their 2nd album called Mission Control, and let me tell you, it’s a damn BEAST! Even though we are friends I would still buy this album, hands down, no question. If you like music, you will like it. Mission Control is all meat and potatoes, no bullshit, but you don’t have to take my word for it, look online and you will not have to go far to find a track or two streaming. I’d link one now, but as I said, kind of in a rush.

So, we play in ATL, Ben Holst, who has been helping us finish our 2nd album, will be sitting in with us playing some slide and others things our hands just won’t allow. After we play we pack up, head back to Charlotte in order to catch a plane to Utah. We have been invited to play the Sundance Film Festival! Wish we could enjoy more of the festival but we’ll take what we can get; maybe next year. We fly back to CLT Sunday, throw a couple more dabs of awesomeness on the mixing process, play another show with The Whigs and Spinto Band next Wednesday in Chapel Hill, another show in Asheville in Feb., and master at Sterling Sound in NYC first of March.

Thanks to everyone who came out to the snow show in Charlotte! The weather was bad, but hell, it wasn’t that damn bad, we only wrecked twice on the way home.
