Wow it has been so long since I updated. I hate when sites don't update and look what I let happen here. Ugh. RECORDING UPDATE : We finished the vocals on Monday. We used the studio at the Vera Project in Seattle, WA. Next up is mixing back up at the TANK in Black Diamond, WA which is where we did the basics. Things are really sounding great (what else did you expect me to say, right). If you likes "Oh These Troubled Times" I think you will be in for a great surprise. Look for this online and in stores (do people do that anymore?) before 2008 ends. Maybe just in time to make everyone's "best of list"
Let's just hope fantasy baseball doesn't break up the band before the record is done!
================================
02/21/08
We play tonight at the HIGH DIVE. We are on at 9 pm. More news this week on the new record and the big show we have in March. Check out us in the Seattle Weekly!

================================
09/18/07
We will be in Bellingham, WA in November. Get ready!
Since we won't have any new music out until 2008 here is a DEMO called "Is That It" from the 4 track vaults. This track never made it to an album so I guess it is an exclusive track. Congrats! The song is from early 2000/2001. Warning - this is super lo-fi. Does that really have to be a warning? I will try and post more oldies from the vault in the next few months. Enjoy.
================================
08/30/07
Long time, no update! Easy Street was a blast. Thanks to the staff and also to our friends in BOAT for asking us to play. Next up in The Crocodile in November with Aqueduct and Georgie James. Georgie James has some DC roots by the way of Mr. John Davis. John use to play in Q and not U. Good people.
The plan is to record in the fall. Where? Don't know. With who? Don't know. We have about 2/3 of the material written. See you soon.

Big News - Our first record ("Breathing In The Old World") is now available on ITUNES in the USA, Japan, and the UK/European Union. We will be playing at 8:00PM on Friday July 28th on the Vera Project Stage @ CAPITOL HILL BLOCK PARTY. TICKETS are going fast! Playing this year's Block Party is a big deal at Sea Navy HQ because Andrew Rudd (drums) and I were introduced to each other at last year's Block Party and shortly after we began playing. If it was not for the Capitol Hill Block Party I would still have a robot drummer. The Sea Navy come full circle in 2006!
