TOTW #1: “The Bird and the Lemming”

I’ve decided to start posting one of our tracks every week — a soundcloud link, and a few of my own short thoughts about it — just for those of you who are interested in this sort of thing.

So, “Track of the Week #1”: Have a listen to “The Bird and the Lemming,” a track from the latter half of our 2016 album, “Crooked House!” One of our simpler tunes, kind of a humorous one — and a duet nonetheless! — this Eric song is all about bad leaders and those who choose to follow them.

Booze Cracks the Code…

We’ve been rehearsing with Jason Booze, our new drummer. Last night’s rehearsal was our third together, I think. And I just wanted to say: It was hilarious and impressive that he actually figured out the changes to “Long History” on his own, and then NAILED IT on the first playthrough!

That particular song features a weird shifting time-signature, switching fluidly between 6/8, 7/8, and 8/8. We expected it to be the most difficult song in our set for Jason (or any drummer) to learn, so we’d been waiting to introduce it until some later point.

Home again.

Back home, safe and sound. We had a great time in the Show-Me State! Thanks to our friends Chet (in Springfield) and Shawn (in Saint Louis), who kindly allowed us to crash on their floors and couches! It was a lot more comfortable than sleeping in a dumpster. Safer, too!

Thanks to Lindbergs Tavern in Springfield, home of the duck-fat-fried burger that oh my god you have to taste to understand. And to Heavy Anchor in Saint Louis, the best indie-music venue this side of somewhere.

Thanks, of course, to everyone who came out to either show. All… Continue reading

Dachshund on the Airwaves in STL!

Here’s some cool news! A friend of mine in St. Louis pointed-out that we got some airplay today on local STL station KDHX 88.1. He sent me a link to their playlist, and it was kind of awesome to see the names of the other artists who were also played that hour.

The station played “Landlocked State” at 11:36am, but the hour was also filled with music by Mike Doughty (the ex-frontman from Soul Coughing), Shellac (a longtime Steve Albini project), Billy Bragg, a project involving members of Swans and Deerhoof, Son Volt — and, well, some more… Continue reading
