Newly expanded to a quintet, our favorite residents of Champaign, IL stopped in for their third session in the Lounge. They stripped down a few songs off their sophomore release "Some Racing, Some Stopping" in this intimate recording.
The band chat with Shiv about the leisurely recording process for the new record in their home studio and their "spooky" touring partners, Evangelicals.
Our home - "The Farmhouse" now sits vacant waiting for a new renter to pay the propane bill.
This is the place where we recorded and mixed the entirety of "Some Racing, Some Stopping," a good portion of "Kill Them With Kindness," "EP2," and "The Enemis EP." The stairway was our reverb chamber, the dining room was our rehearsal space, and "the brown room" was our control room. The porch was the place where we grilled, hung out with friends, watched huge spiders catch and kill their prey, and wondered at the thousands of fireflies flitting around the fields. The ceiling leaked, the wind whipped through the walls, and the winter cold wore right through our bones, but somehow we always stayed just warm enough.
Goodbye, Farmhouse. May your future tenants love/hate you just as much as we did.

It is with overwhelming sadness that we bid farewell to our drummer and dearest friend Gerhardt (Jerry) Fuchs. Jerry died in a tragic accident early this morning (Sunday, November 08, 2009) when he fell down an elevator shaft near his home in Brooklyn, NY. We are humbled to have been able to create music with you for all these years, Jerry. You will be missed more than words can express. We love you, bro.
