July 28, 2007 Eddie's Attic (Decatur, GA)
Eddie's Attic is our favorite place to play! Eddie is the sweetest guy you would ever meet. Also, he is a big music lover and has been supportive of original music in Atlanta for a long long time. Shalom is the sound man at Eddie's and every time the sound is perfect on stage and off stage. Eddie's Attic is a real listening room and we are always given a show that will be sure to be packed. That is helpful for a band trying to develop a following in a new city. We played with Paul Melancon and The Arts and Sciences. They are amazing! Paul's voice and song writing really blew us away. They are definitely our favorite band that we have played with the whole tour. My friend Lee Cuthbert (friend of 12 years) played in his band on guitar. She has incredible skills. It was such a pleasure to see her play again. She and her girlfriend Andrea housed us for two nights while we were there. They have a little apartment in their basement.

We sold a lot of cds and t-shirts and couldn't have had a better show. The audience was attentive, laughed at our jokes, and cried in all the appropriate places in the set:) A friend of ours Susan (from the Suzi French Connection) said that she was embarrassed to be getting all teary eyed during the set. We are glad when we can have such a strong effect on people. Then the music really means something. We brought a bit of rain with us, but then again, for some reason we always have a bit of rain when we come to Atlanta. We can't wait to come back and hope to do a residency at Eddie's in the near future.

July 26, 2007 Egan's (Tuscaloosa, Alabama)
Egan's is a really fun place. We weren't sure what to make of it at first, a show in a college town, during the summer, in Alabama...We were pleasantly surprised, Ashley, the manager of Egan's was excited to see us and bought us dinner. We played after a band called SpotAlbert who were a sort of blues/Irish fusion band. They were ex punk rockers. We really enjoyed their set. Bo was gracious enough to run sound for us because it is a DIY sound kind of place. We were thankful since we aren't that technically inclined. The show was great and the crowd was into our music. Again, we sold a lot of cds and got email addresses for the mailing list. Elliott (from the Dexateens) took us out for a southern style lunch and Bo who worked there on his lunch break, picked up the tab! It was a nice first experience for us in Alabama and we will definitely be back. The picture at the top of the page is Elliot (Dexateens) and his son Grey.
