Hope you enjoy.

More shows to come from The Michael Rambo Project. Keep an eye out at www.themichaelramboproject.com as I’m sure it’ll be a lot of fun. Hopefully more in the EC area and then some.

Friday, December 18th, 2009. It’s gonna be a rockin good time. The best part is he is giving away his EP for a little pre-view listening. Favorites include Forgiven and Lady Wisdom.

Check it.

We’re here, alive and well, checking in. We’ve got a few exciting “office work” updates for you.

1) We are almost ready to launch a redesigned website. It’s lookin so fresh n so clean and we’re stoked to get it launched. Our launch of the new site will be paired with some new videos and new audio, as well.

2) We have two (count em!) tours in the works and will be coming to your town soon! A third is pending some sort of decision making but we’re excited to bring you the two we’ve got coming down the road (get it…road trip…road pun…ok.) We will do a Halloween feature, going through the many haunted places of Wisconsin and playing where we can. That will be followed very quickly by a trip east where we’ll travel all the boroughs of NYC, recording with the gospel choirs of the churches there. We’re stoked.

Rock N Roll. Whats new in your world? What suggestions do you have?

In the mean time, we’ll be posting a lot of local stuff to our areas. The Eau Claire music scene is alright, including the Bon Iver craaaaziness. They’re good, best we saw at Sasquatch hands down, but we’re all a bit anxious for what’s next from them and otherwise. Cmon, Eau Claire! 

There’s a music blog out of Minneapolis that has a lot of great writers and articles about what’s next. Check em out.

We have some recordings of the Cloud Hymn show the last Saturday night but the audio is action packed with interference from someone’s phone. That’s the scratchy noise that’s way annoying. Anyway, it was a good time. You can check them out on their MySpace, here. We didn’t take any pictures or video, but VolumeOne did.

Pretty awesome…

The festival was actually disappointing. It could be because we’ve had a blast up until then, could be the incredible heat, or could just be the poor organization of the fest. I actually skipped all on Sundays shows because it wasn’t much fun on Saturday. Bon Iver was hands down the best show we saw and that’s not just because they’re hometown boys. They rocked it pretty hard.

Yesterday afternoon, we realized we had run over a nail somewhere in our travels and the tire was 100% flat. That was fun. We were happy we found it yesterday afternoon an not this morning. A great tire place in George, WA fixed it for $21 and we were off.

So that is it. The conclusion of our first trip, first of many we hope. Thanks to all the great people and warm greetings we received from folks all over the country. Check back for local videos and postings of local endeavors. More tours to come, as well. We are hoping to plan a trip east in the next few months. Stay tuned!

The set opened with Calahen David Morrison, who from what I hear, was fantastic. After that, Dean Station played. They were way bluesy, which was sweet, but were bummed that their drummer couldn’t make it to the show. Would have been fun to see the full band. Big Sur closed up shop, all good fun.

Tried hookin up with Calahen for a recording session today but without luck. Whatever, so it goes.

I was bummed about not having the recording gear but am fine with it as we can just sit back and relax watching the people and the music and all the craziness.

We are heading to Quincy tomorrow for Sasquatch, then home. Tonight, the Melvins at the Showbox. Should be a heck of a show.

More to come later.

We cruised all over town, found a couple musicians, and did the “normal downtown” stuff like Pike Place.

Matt tried taking us up to the top floor of the tallest building in Seattle to do a shoot there, but we couldn’t get past the grouchy security guard because we didnt have cash money and that’s all he took. We were going to come back with $5 each in mixed change (no quarters) just to be rude because he was…but decided that wasn’t the adult thing to do. As if our videos prove that we’re adults…We did an acapella version of Millions of Peaches on the elevator ride up. It was full, the elevator. Funny to think that the people working will sit down, then tell their friends on AIM “holy crap, these weird people just started singing on the elevator” then…they’ll have that jam stuck in their head all day.
