This was our first big gig weekend as a quartet after half our namesake (Jeremy Walker) high-tailed to Chicago. We had a bunch of new material to fill any gaps in the weekend–including the “Where’s Walker” tribute to Jer–but I think we were still surprised at how solidly the shows came together. This weekend definitely fueled our confidence to push onward as a 4-piece.

The buzz didn’t last too long though - within a week our studio on Natoma St in SOMA was broken into and Aaron’s classic Les Paul was ganked, along with a mixing board or something comparatively trivial. The superstitious among us (read: Andy) sensed our all-too-good Tahoe karma was coming back to bite us in SF. Aaron channeled his angst into our new tune “Complaints”, a gripe against the guitar-theft gods. Whatever it takes to crank out new material when your lead vocalist skips town!
