You Kicked Me!
Holy smokes! You guys are the best.
Not only did we meet our $5,000 goal in our Kickstarter campaign, but we went way over, raising more than $6,200!
Thanks so much, you angels, you. We promise to make sure our record is worthy of your ears.
Dondero Drops from the Sky
I’m thrilled to announce that an amazing short-notice show has dropped from the sky:
I’ll be sharing a bill with indie folk legend David Dondero next Thursday, July 21, at the Wormhole in Savannah.
Get in your car and drive. And I’ll see you at the show.
Kick Me: Pre-order My New Record
Okay, gang. I’ve launched my very first Kickstarter campaign to make sure my new record, Thugs and China Dolls, makes it out of the studio and into your ears.
Don’t know what Kickstarter is? Well, Kickstarter.com is a cool website that allows artists and other imaginative people to raise critical funding to make sure their neat ideas make it out into the world.
I’m aiming to raise $5,000 (a small portion of my overall budget) by selling pre-ordered copies of Thugs and China Dolls. There’s all kinds of other cool stuff you can buy, too (a pair of Jim White’s loafers, anyone?), but pre-orders of the record are the main thing. So check out my video, then click through the link and order your copy today!
Prepared Piano (in the Forest)
Suny Lyons “prepares” pianos the old fashioned way: by hurling them into the woods behind his studio, breaking them apart with hammers, then miking the pile. This in service of building the chaotic ending for the song “Thugs and China Dolls.”
More photos of Suny’s handiwork after the jump.

Ah Shucks: Best of Savannah 2011
Thanks to all you music nerds who voted us Savannah’s best acoustic band of 2011 in the Connect Savannah readers poll. You guys are nice.
Collaboration in My Attic
I’m working very, very hard on a cover of Brian Eno’s “Some of Them Are Old,” a song I have adored for many a moon.
