OMG SHUT UP!
OMG. I have to admit that i’m so glad we didn’t go to SXSW this year. We did the trip last year (in a non stop drive from Portland to Austin, 37 hours straight!) and although i did have a fun time it was just to much for me. Im not a party animal at all and i feel like you have to be to survive that fest. I spent the last one sitting in my friend Laura’s house watching movies and playing occasional shows. I’m having a great spring hanging out in Portland working on new tunes (and sitting around the house watching movies).
New tunes for a new album. It’s my favorite part in being in a band, the writing stage. The new songs are awesome and i cant wait to get them together and record. Plus it helps that the songs are so awesome. I dunno how Nick can write so fast and consistently. It takes me a year to come up with one song that’s not embarrassing. He shows up after a 10 week tour with 15 ready to record. Jeaz.
It’s been a while since i really updated and some cool stuff has come out. Jake was interviewed about his day job for an Into The Woods video.
Don’t Quit Your Day Job Ep #3 – Shaky Hands/American Dream Pizza from Into The Woods on Vimeo.
We got seriously name checked recently on the CW tv show Life Unexpected. Usually if we get a commercial or played in a tv show i wouldn’t post about it but this is so amazing, strange and hilarious that you gotta see it. I guess we are cool with the young teens. Who knew?
The band i have with Nick Delffs and Alex Arrowsmith (Haunted K.O.A) recorded a demo of a new song. I think it turned out great. Not bad for running the song straight thru maybe 5 times before recording it. Click HERE to listen
And if you are in the area this April (the 9th) come check out Death Songs playing with Inside Voices and The Woolen Men (my favorite Portland band) at the Artistry. It’s all ages so you have no excuse not to go.
Till next time

That girl has a point. Pop Now is just too tiny.
If I were you guys I'd be freaking out over this. The CW and all of its Tyra connections have just given you a get-out-of-spending-the-rest-of-your-life-trying-to-make-up-for-middle-school free card. You can stop trying to seem attractive and popular and jump straight into being 80 years old and returning overripe fruit to the supermarket (because who cares what those kids think!). AMAZING.
