Higher Animals & Lobo Marino

Met these coolies at the Peekskill Coffee House one day. We were on our way to band practice up the street and they were setting up to play a show. We played through a set and took a break to go catch the ed of their set – Jameson was crazy on the percssion while Laney sang and wanged out on her keyboard/synth/accordian like melodium? ANyways – they were fun to watch and a joy to listen to.

After finishing their set they followed us back to our practice space and heard the second set for our upcoming show while laney did yoga and jameson wrote in his notebook and swayed to our jammy jams.

SOOOO from our experience – these are great people and great musicians – check them out ( lobomarinomusic.com ) and come to our show this Wednesday to hear both of our projects play at Dogwood in Beacon NY.

You know – if you’re free on a Wednesday night – and come on what else is going on? 🙂

 

See you then Lovers

July

Hey guys –

So this past month has been a lot of fun for us.

We played at the Birdsall house this past Saturday and were asked to play a Battle of the Bands this upcoming Friday, (thats July 25th if your free!)

 

With so much going on in all of our lives, it’s always nice to see old faces at our shows. It’s such a comfort to know that we have a group, a family of people that we have connected with over the years that haven’t gotten sick of us and our loud music 🙂 and make the time to come out and support us.

 

We are currently looking to start booking more shows down in NYC and (surprise!) other states (do i sense a tour??)

If any of you have any idea or advice of places to play near your – please feel free to write us .. we are looking for adventure and hope that we get to enjoy at least little bit of it with you!

Here are the facebook events for our next two shows. and thanks for all of your support!

GLEASON’S – July 25 @ 9 pm 

Deli Magazine 10 year Anniversary Party – July 26 (time TBD)
