Welcome to Daytrotter

Howdy Everyone!  Our Daytrotter session is now available for your listening experience.  If you aren't familiar with Daytrotter, it is one of my personal favorite time vortexes on the internet.  They do things the hard way: instead of posting regular old mp3s off an album, they invite bands to come into the studio and record alternate versions of their tunes.  Instead of snapping photos of the band, their illustrators create portraits:

We stopped in to record stripped-down versions of the following tracks:

• Kate and Kelsey
• Oto the Bear
• So Many Ways to Die
• Cavaliers (har hum)

One commenter managed to track down the original Polish poem that inspired "Oto the Bear":

"Prosze panstwa, oto mis.
Mis jest bardzo grzeczny dzis,
Chetnie panstwu lape poda.
Nie chce podac?
A to szkoda."

Anywho, it was great fun to try a new approach to these tunes and we hope you enjoy. 

In other news, our dear disc Tarpits and Canyonlands continues its march across the planet Earth.  This week it has been spotted back in its hometown of Durham, N.C.

 

Stay tuned for more developments in bombi-land and don't forget to write.

TP&CL World Tour Stop 2!!!

Hello Friends,

 
The Tarpits and Canyonlands World Tour continues on its marry way. Today, our album finds itself far from home, visiting some famous U.S. Presidents.

Let us know if you want the World Tour to come through your town, and stay tuned for more stops!

Tarpits and Canyonlands World Tour!

Howdy friends,

 

We hope that all of you are out enjoying the latter days of summer, eating lots of corn on the cob and visiting your favorite swimming hole a few more times before it gets cold. We're all having adventures, meeting new friends, and thinking lots about music. We thought that we'd say hello and remind you about our new record, Tarpits and Canyonlands. Some folks have had some nice things to say about the record, including our very own News & Observer.

In other news, Tarpits and Canyonlands has started its own world tour. Today it is in St. Louis. 

 

Keep an eye out for upcoming tour stops, and let us know if you'd like T&C to come to your town.

Just as a reminder, there are a number of places to pick up T&C . First, you can order it directly from our store, and we'll ship your disc with unique, hand made packaging. Secondly, for Triangle residents, we've dropped off more copies too: Schoolkids (Raleigh), Chaz's Bull City Records (Durham), Offbeat Music (Durham), and CD Alley (Chapel Hill). Thirdly, if you're not in the Raleigh/Durham/Chapel Hill area and don't like mail or are just impatient for new music, iTunes, eMusic, and Rhapsody all have the record.

 

Finally, thanks for all of the encouraging notes and well wishes! We really appreciate them.
 

Cheers!

Bryan, Daniel & James
