Here’s a track from one of my favorite bands. They’re pretty new, just really starting to play out. Haven’t really gone far out of California much. They’re from the SF bay area… remind me of all of the good things about the band Television. Great musicians. Seriously, good stuff. I got Corey in the band to talk a bit about the show and what they think of playing our fine establishment. We even made a video with our good friend Michael on this one. Enjoy.

We’ve probably played The Echo in Los Angeles more times than any other venue in the world. And everytime it has been as a part of the Part Time Punks night. It’s a night where they play the kind of records that we like to listen to back home in San Francisco. Mccarthy, Another Sunny Day, Pylon, Felt, Orange Juice, and The Feelies. Also notable about that night was an interview where a guy asked us our names and what position we play. Just like a real sports team! [Check out the video below]

I don’t remember a whole lot about playing the show itself. But I definitely remember hearing it played back for the first time. It was great to hear how our new material stacked up next to our older songs.

On a whole I think it’s a great album. And it’s nice to hear the parts where we mess up. In fact, I think my guitar is missing from an entire verse of “Millions of People..” when Phil kicked my tuning pedal across the stage and unplugged it from the amp. But it gives the record a certain charm that a studio record could never duplicate.
