So we made it back from Vermont and had a great weekend up there. Highlights include: Heifer Fest 2010 and Strolling of the Heifers in Brattleboro (although technically we missed it), free drinks at Weather Vane, shady motel that turned out to be pretty good, AJ sleeping with Holy Bible next to his head on partially deflated air mattress, Labatt Ice, Tony not having a seizure, Magic Hat brewery in Burlington (aka Girling), running into LVR HS grad Amanda Lotter, walking around Girling, rockin Radio Bean, Josh Finkelstein’s birthday, wanting to smash guitar and amp, free drinks again, the humble abode of brother Colin Butler, amazing Vermont Bacon, driving home through legit tornado. And also the monster pictured above!

This photo was taken at a stop light in watertown yesterday and is pretty disturbing. AJ yelled “This is preposterous!” out the window at this guy…great stuff. Brattleboro is a cool little town and the bar was cool too with a big stage. Turns out “Heifer Fest” is this weekend but we missed the “Strolling of the Heifers” where everyone walks their cow down the street. What a shame. We played two sets but were told that we were too loud so we had to adjust our volume. Fun time though – free beer! Off to Burlington in a bit, once we get our asses into gear. Yay!

Gorgeous day in CT even though there are mentally ill gunmen roaming the streets. Cool lil show last night even though there was no sound guy and the place kinda smelled like a barn mixed with wet dog mixed with a hamster cage. It wasn’t really really that bad though, I just like painting mental images. Tony’s familia came out to support and that was awesome. The lady who owned the bar randomly made us test the wattage of our flood lights because she was worried about her electric bill. Home town feel. Headed to NJ in a bit to seek out mentally ill gunmen. – Matt S.

Well most of the time it’s awesome, seeing the rawness of something, unshaped and in its natural form. That’s where our jams come from and that’s where this one comes from. So this next riff is something that everyone just started playing. Its called “Never” but the names for our jams are normally temporary.

Most of these jams we never end up visiting again, because we are like 4 ADD kids who just drank a pack of red bull, and are always distracted by the next cool riff. Which is one of the reasons we have about 50 songs and a 13 track cd (and a multitude of other scattered recordings – at last count I believe AJ had well over 500 CD’s of stuff)…

Hope you like it, and if you have any feedback on it hit us up. If you like it we just may try to remember how we played it. After that we will add a few parts and actually turn it into a song, for your listening pleasure.

This Jam “Keep Me In Place” is a funky little rock number that we tinkered around that gets a nice little edge to it. If you like funky rock like I do you’ll like this one. Its a shorter one around 6 minutes which for a jam for us is really short…..
