Performing in The Good Show Live Music Series This Saturday!

Our next show is coming up this Saturday, and we’re really excited about this one. Everybody’s favorite local radio show The Good Show over on KTCU is putting on another installment of their live music series at Lola’s, and they’re having us open the show. We’re followed by the talented folks of Foxtrot Uniform and headliner Dove Hunter.

The fun starts at 10:00, and it’s all ages – $8 over 21, $10 under 21.

There’s more – Saturday morning, we’ll be in the KTCU studio appearing on The Good Show along with Foxtrot Uniform and Dove Hunter for an interview. Don’t forget to tune in!

We’re excited to announce that you can now find our music on both Rdio and Spotify! That’s in addition to iTunes, Amazon MP3, Google Play, and our Bandcamp page. ”Artoria” is available now, and all future releases will be as well. Happy streaming!

Us, performing at our showcase!

We had an AWESOME time at SXSW! We played our show, had a blast, met and hung out with some incredible bands, and just generally did it up right. Big thanks to GoGirls Music for having us in their showcase, and a HUGE thanks to Laurel Dagger of San Antonio’s own Mrs. Howl for being our guest drummer – she rocks!

SXSW Show This Saturday!

It’s almost time for our SXSW show! We’ll be headed out in the next couple of days, bound for Austin and the “Invasion of the GoGirls” showcase at Austin Java.

More specifically, we’re playing on Saturday (the second day of the showcase), at 6:30 PM. Now, as you all know, we’re currently drummerless, but we’ve solved that problem for the weekend in an awesome way: we’ve got Laurel Dagger from San Antonio punk band Mrs. Howl sitting in on drums for us! It’s going to be a crazy show.

The Invasion of the GoGirls showcase is FREE and all ages! It’s at the original Austin Java at 12th & Lamar.

SURPRISE! Short-Notice Show THIS WEDNESDAY!

This one caught us a little off-guard, but we’re excited! We just got added to a fun lineup at Lola’s Saloon this Wednesday, March 6th, after another band had to drop out. Our super friends Lindby, us, and Abandon City are hitting the stage starting at 10:00. It’s an all-ages show and just $5 ($9 under 21).

We are very generously being joined by Lindby drummer Logan Bowers for this show, for which we are very appreciative. It’s going to be a fun night, so come on out Wednesday to see us break your hump day blues!
