Playing a few great Beach Boys tunes at this event on Sunday night. More info here // FB event link.

Very pleased to announce I’ll be playing a solo Foam Castles set at this year’s Waking Windows in Winooski, Vermont. If you haven’t been, it’s one of the best festivals in New England and it gets better every year. Check out the crazy lineup and get the weekend off! It’ll be here in a month. The Foam Castles set will be at 6pm at a new venue called Appearances. Hope to see you there.

Couple cool flyers by Sunset Hearts dude Casey for our bands’ show with John Hughes Radio in February. See you then, rockers! More info here.

Typeface inspiration for our record Through That Door. The Best of John Fahey 1959-1977. For awhile, it was hanging on the wall in the mixing room at The Teen Arena (Rochester, NH where we make our records). Searched for months & months online for the particular typeface, couldn’t find it anywhere. Even emailed the graphic designer of the Fahey record (ended up being the designer of the reissue). Pretty much gave up until one night, hanging out with Tyler Quist (F.C. multi-instrumentalist) surfing YouTube & prompting him to play themes from Sega's Sonic the Hedgehog 2 on one of his many vintage synthesizers for a laugh, I discovered the level screens for that game used the exact fucking font I’d been searching for for months (slight difference on the A’s). Quick Google search for “Sonic 2 font” brought me to a fan site with an easy download of the typeface, apparently simply called ‘Gaslight.’ Set it up with Peet’s artwork & that was that.

This Friday! Our new record Flotilla is finally out. You can stream two of the tunes on our Bandcamp now, or wait till Friday and hear the whole damn thing. Also gonna be on Spotify, iTunes, and on CD/Cassette from our family at Teenarena Records. Come jam with us at SPACE on Saturday for Waking Windows and grab a copy!

Ahhh shit! We’re pumped to play Portland’s first Waking Windows this Saturday. SPACE is the place for us, kicking things off for that particular venue around 6pm.
