After seeing them late one blustery night at the Amplify series hosted by UR Chicago at Schubas, these guys came down for a live session at my studio. It was a lot of fun. Mark, Casey and Stephen are all really cool guys and great musicians. Casey and Mark's voices blend so well you'd think they were brothers or something. Stephen lays it down solid on the kit...sometimes using an American Tourist suitcase instead of a traditional kick drum. Mark trades off between acoustic gtr and banjo. And Casey covers the acoustic and bass pedals. The sound is never straight ahead folky acoustic though. Mark's always playing the acoustic and banjo through a tube amp and Casey sends his acoustic through a couple stomp boxes then DI right to the mix, which delivers a blistering tone. The tracks should be coming up on the UR Chicago site sometime this week, I think. Definietly worth checking these guys out. Great band! AS far as the newe album goes...The guys were going to stick around for a day after that and do some mixing of tracks for their new record, but it didn't work out. More work still needed to be done before mixing. Can't wait ot hear the new stuff. These guys are awesome!

I looked around and it seems that they haven't posted any dates/times/locations for SXSW yet. They’ve been getting tons of airplay on XM Radio also.
