Lucky Lucky Me

Help these in-crowd pukes (friends) raise some dough, yo. Struggling up-and-comers' series about...Struggling up-and-comers. Correct me if I'm wrong, which I often am.

Final 2011 Show

swindletone@gmail.com — Tue, 20 Dec 2011 12:40:49 PST

This is our final show for the year and a great transition into 2012. Please join us, as it will be a very special evening with some wonderful songwriters.

Come January, we will finish our next ep that includes two Kettle Drivers songs, one of Shane's songs and a special guest. We'll also include the score to Black Luck.

After we wrap that, we will begin Shane's record. 2012 will be busy so please join us, Thursday night.

That said, thank you for a wonderful 2011. See you Thursday.

December Dates

swindletone@gmail.com — Mon, 05 Dec 2011 18:42:01 PST

Busy with the holidays, just like you. Only a handful of shows this month that includes this one with a brand new band, The Hashbrowns. Will they live up to the facebook hype?

Also, I back Shane at The Prospector in Long Beach on December 22.

Maybe I'll blog about crap other than movies I watch. Haven't had much juice, lately.

Cheers,
Greg

Food Truck Fare Thursdays

swindletone@gmail.com — Thu, 09 Dec 2010 20:43:49 PST

A tasty craze is in full-force, Thursday's at the OC Fair Grounds. Food Trucks, lined up as your waist swells like a boxer's face after a 12 round bout or In-N-Out cup spiked with bourbon, from food that ranges between crab sliders to Korean fusion.

Here's a treat, and a gift that keeps on giving: Dan Dan BBQ's Spicy Pork Burrito
Follow their truck @dandanbbq

Check Twitter for updates of each truck's schedule or who's going to roll to the fairgrounds and serve you next week

This busy November has come to a head and burst all over Turkey Day.

We played three shows in as many nights, last week. On top of that, I designed sound for a play in addition to the hours at my day job. It's been busy this month but we've managed to throw up a new section of the website: VIDEOS. Check it out.

Next month we are in-studio to finish The Kettle Drivers' full-length. It should come out in January and, hopefully, accompany us to our shows with Blue Whales at their Avalon Bar Monday night residency.

The Podcast will return no later than next week.

LIVE, This Weekend
