Thanks to Calexico for a great coupla shows- we look forward to the impending round 2, and thanks as always to our besties the Constantines for a seriously fun few weeks on the road. And for all the couches, floors, beds, yards, houses etc out there… you know who you are… thanks a ton.

Of note: check out the results of a pit-stop we made in Rock Island, Illinois. Heard of the Daytrotter Sessions? Have a listen to the 4 live tracks, recorded on the spot.

We’ll be hooking up with M. Ward for a week and change worth’s of shows in September followed by more time with Calexico, followed by yet more time out on our own so keep checking in, details are forthcoming. In the meantime we’re part of a killer show at Mercury Lounge right here in NYC coming up Friday, July 21. It’s an Amish Records party and the lineup is ridiculous: Endless Boogie, Black Taj, Mike Wexler, and yours truly. Hope to see you all there.
