notes from the road…

Thank god its friday…we have forgotten the feeling of Friday, since Friday and Monday are no different to Sunday…any day is a work day on the road. I can remember how good it felt at School…clawing at each minute to get to the bell. I imagine it feels somewhat the same in an office job, waiting to get rid of your boss for a couple of days and go let your hair down with your friends. It just feels good to imagine the excitement of Friday…the weekly revolution of emotions built up and squashed down, washed down with coffee and small rebellious conversations with co-workers…until it erupts. Maybe we all gotta get out more?…not just into the bars…but out of our heads…into what we really feel. We press on into the Friday traffic near Syracuse, NY, as we follow the Rusted bus. Tomorrow will mark a solid 6 months of national touring and our last show with Rusted Root. If you haven’t seen the live, you really should experience it. They have taught us some new tricks and have been very good to us. Mike’s voice is strong and primitive and Liz makes otherworldly sounds while the band jams out deep grooves that take the listener on a walkabout.

One of our favourite songs on THE UPside is ‘Never Be The Same’. It was written and recorded on the same day in about an hour in Robert Lang Studio, Seattle. Today we are previewing it on youtube for your listening pleasure. Here it is:
