Sweet! I was hoping he would head back out, I missed out earlier on his tour. Damn college testing.

That's in Dex's home town. Maybe he'll be in the audience and I can sit with him and Sarah and chill....

We talked to Brendan at the Greenhornes show at the Basement. We hope to have a poster design emailed to him early next week for approval for the show at Exit/In.
"My Old, Familiar Friend" is a great record. Trying to use the song "Garbage Day" or Eyes on the Horizon" for influence in the imagery.

Any thoughts or interpretations on the meanings of those songs.

I pick up on themes of trust and lack of trust, love lost and lovesick, struggling to find inspriation.

Anyone coming to the show in LA at Club Nokia?? I'm super stoked about it!!

Also heard that one can buy USBs of his recorded performance straight after the gig. Isn't that hella cool?? I'm surely getting one to relive the memories, and make them immortal. :D :D
