kind words from tacoma’s weekly volcano

March 9th, 2009

Courtesy of Mr. Chuck Dula:

It isn’t often that you can go to a show and see a band at the genesis of a fairly prolific career. That is what awaits you Saturday at The New Frontier. Red Jacket Mine, fronted by the silky smooth vocals of Lincoln Barr, has created a darker American sound that they describe as twilit pop. Complete with steel guitars, crunchy drums, and a guitar that often soars into beauteous oblivion, this band will satisfy the country-pop hipster post-rock scallywag in anyone.

Why, thanks, Chuck! What a fantastic surprise…as was our outstanding show at the New Frontier Lounge, and Tacoma in general! Read about it on the Weekly Volcano’s blog, or check out some lovely photos by Mr. Steven Dunkelberger for proof. We cannot wait to get back!

Heartfelt thanks to all of our pals, old and new, who made it out to last week’s fantastic shows. Our Tractor show with Burning Rivers and Everest was certainly one of the best we’ve had, and we couldn’t have done it without you! Be sure to check out the YouTube videos available now on the Web Exclusives page.

We’ll be hunkered down for the next week or so mixing our new record, Lovers Lookout, with Ken Stringfellow, so keep an eye out for the firstfruits of our labors very very soon. Until then, hold my calls.
