Firedog

We remember them back when they were first Jesus, Mary and Joseph. We love these guys. You’ll want to catch one of their last few shows with Brandon Manitoba over the next few weeks. In honor of the transition we looked back and found some clips from a show we played with Firedog back on March 13, 2010.

Next up for Firedog is at Off Broadway on Friday, October 28th.

Friday, July 29th – Cave Jam, Pacific, MO

Nathan — Fri, 05 Aug 2011 18:09:30 +0000

Well that was spelunktastic. We played in our first cave with our two new band mates, Tim Piper on drums and Lance Thomas on guitar and vocals. The set featured tunes from The In? catalog including IZE, Pueblo, Shatter, In the Lobby and Santa Cruz and four new tunes from Lance Thomas including Tango Frustrado, Elephant Stares, Breathing Fast and Season Four Change. We played just as day turned to night with a cool 75 degrees (or so) over our heads – a nice break from the heat. The atmosphere of the crowd in the cave was fantastic as those entering the festival all got to slow, pause or stop on their way in to enjoy the set. Thanks to all those who logged the trip out to Pacific to enjoy the music. This gig represented a new direction for the band and we know there will be more gigs coming under a moniker yet to be determined and hope you will be there with us.

Here is a shot of the set and Chris and I afterwards exploring the caves.

Saturday, April 30, 2011 – The Tin Can

Nathan — Sun, 01 May 2011 18:16:30 +0000

Its been a while. We’ve been good, adding people to our lives and tracks for a new album in our Cherokee hideaway. As you may have heard this gig was our sendoff as we say so long to Joel as he moves off to sunny San Diego where he will enjoy living by the sea and the whales. He will take control of a small army of California robot computers there.

Four our last show with Joel we were invited to sit in with Get Down Bella, which coincidently was their last show with Joel. We’ll laid a short set of In? originals from the Joel era including Lobby, Pueblo, Ethanol Appetite’s Itching, and You are Here. We will miss our good friend and bass man. Joel we wish you all the best, you are irreplaceable.

Movin’ on Out

Goodbye to the great Lacassian Laboratories. She was as good as she could be to us but we had to say goodbye. From the late night jams to the Superbowl party, thanks to all those who spent time there as our friends and partners in the spot. No worries, we aren’t going away, we are landing just South and will keep you posted. Here are a few last looks.

Saturday, August 28, 2010 – Rock the Meadows @ UMSL

Nathan — Fri, 10 Sep 2010 15:35:55 +0000

Wow what a big stage you have. We ran the sound for a night of entertainment and threw a phat set of In? originals in there as well. Thanks to Tabitha for getting out there. Quite a variety that day as acts such as Corey and Brian performed, Thelonious Funk, Soulera, FKS and A Rhyme or Reason, took the stage. The U Radio Station was on hand for some DJ sounds.

Thursday, August 19 – The Firebird

Nathan — Thu, 26 Aug 2010 18:53:37 +0000

The band Blank and our friend Joe Boland asked us to join them for this set. We had a nice Thursday night crowd including the softball guys and Firedog. Not sure if the dog and bird argued over the fire or not?

Our first full band show since June, so we knocked a little rust off and got ourselves back in the groove. Thanks to all those who came out and supported.

The Firebird with Blank – Thursday, August 19

Nathan — Sat, 14 Aug 2010 18:35:18 +0000

Folks and lassies,

We’ll be at the Firebird off of Olive by SLU’s campus on Thursday, August 19th. Music at 9pm starts with The In? followed by Blank at 10:30pm. Blank is Joe Boland’s new band and we are happy to share a stage with this up and coming new group.

We’ll have our new drummer Jason Williams with us for a 90 minute set of music. Come sweaty or get sweaty, either way is cool.

The Way Out Club – July 10, 2010

Nathan — Thu, 22 Jul 2010 02:36:15 +0000

Back at the Way Out with four solid performances from four bands. A great night of community as the musicians all supported each other and then came back to the studio spot for a 5am party. That is time well spent – mulit-person jam session and the invention of the song, “Ladies” thanks to that hard-hittin’ JWill. He is quite the fella.

We missed Chris on this one, he was in gambling rehab or something. I bet he’ll be back better than ever. The show featured our hot and up set, meaning we kicked the crap out of the set and had the entire bar dancing. That was mostly thanks to Aiesha but we provided the soundtrack. It was good to sweat that good sweat again, lights on ya, loud ass PA, crowd up close just jammin’ out.

We are back.
