Back Back Back to The Catalyst

A reoccurring theme to these posts have been how time keeps flying by. Last Summer we celebrated our fifth year together as a band. In December Aidan Collins turned, not 21, but 22 (he’s getting so old!) And two years ago as of  March 22nd, we performed on the main stage of the Catalyst for the very first time. On Friday April 15th we return to the Catalyst to open for Blackberry Smoke.

Friday night will mark our third time playing the main stage at the Catalyst. On March 22nd 2014 we opened for one of our favorite artists, Jackie Greene. Later that year we joined our friends, The Brothers Comatose for a Woodstock themed Halloween. On April 15th we will join Blackberry Smoke, who is quickly becoming one of our favorite Rock and Roll bands.

The Catalyst holds a certain prestige for us and has been somewhat of a landmark venue in our short careers. We’ve heard the stories of Neil Young dropping in to play unannounced shows, we’ve witnessed some great shows (Jackie Greene March 2013,) and when we played with The Dirty Knobs, Mike Campbell even shared a story with us about how he accidentally locked himself in the backstage bathroom minutes before a show with Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers back in 1978. The place has some serious history and we couldn’t be more excited to be playing at the Catalyst. Join us April 15 at the Catalyst on Pacific Ave in Santa Cruz, California.

2015 Recap & Weekend at Don Quixote’s 2016

2016 is here but before we know it, we’ll be talking about 2017. So as quickly as we can, we’ll remember 2015 one more time.

Time flies when you’re having fun and 2015 went by way too fast so that must mean we had some fun. We played to a sold out crowd at the Fillmore in San Francisco, we headlined Slim’s for the first time, we sweated through our set in the 105 degree heat at the Kate Wolf Music Festival, we lit a speaker on fire on stage at the Petaluma Music Festival, we learned and played 30 Everly Brothers songs, we replaced the alternator in our van, and then did it again, and again…, there was that time we celebrated a birthday at Moe’s Alley, and finally when it all came to an end by leading the countdown to the new year with a bundled up crowd on the streets of Monterey. We had a lot of fun. But enough with 2015, let’s talk 2016.

2016 will begin right back where this whole journey started; at Don Quixote’s in Felton. Don Quixote’s has been the site of some of our biggest and most memorable local shows. It’s been the venue where we’ve tried out new songs for the first time and where we’ve released our 3 albums. We couldn’t be more excited to be kicking off 2016 with a weekend at Don Quixote’s. But here’s the twist. And there is a twist… We have two stellar bands opening the shows each night. On Friday, January 8th, T Sisters from Oakland will be opening and on Saturday, January 9th, The McCoy Tyler Band from Santa Cruz will be opening.

So it’s settled. You’re coming to Don Quixote’s on January 8th and 9th. Dig in your pockets for a $10 bill and we’ll see you on January 8th, 2016 in Felton.

Friday January 8th- 8pm $10 T Sisters open

Saturday January 9th- 8pm $10 McCoy Tyler Band open

2015: The Year of Moe’s Alley

On a Sunday night in May of 2011, just a month before the release of our self-titled debut album, we took the stage at Moe’s Alley for the first time. On October 16th we will be back at Moe’s Alley, for what we believe to be our 12th time, playing on a newer bigger stage, through a newer bigger sound system, to a bigger crowd (we hope) on a night that is NOT a Sunday (turns out people go out more on Friday’s. How were we to know?)

The Soft White Sixties, from San Francisco, will be joining us for this night and they will just add to the growing list of great bands that we’ve shared the stage with at Moe’s. In 2015 alone we’ve played with Mike Campbell and The Dirty Knobs, our long time best band friends, The McCoy Tyler Band, our new best band friends, Hot Buttered Rum, and the guys who brought us to the Fillmore, Poor Man’s Whiskey. Other bands we’ve shared the stage with at Moe’s include The Mother Hips, The McCoy Tyler Band, Pegi Young & the Survivors, Dead Winter Carpenters,  Junk Parlor, The McCoy Tyler Band, Spurs, Buster Blue, and last but not least, The McCoy Tyler Band.

The bands have changed, the stage has changed, we’ve changed, but the one thing that hasn’t changed is that we always have a great time at Moe’s Alley. Join us Friday, October 16th 2015 at Moe’s Alley with The Soft White Sixties opening.

PS October 16th may or may not be a birthday of one of the Coffis Brothers, and we may or may not be celebrating such birthday that night. Come find out on the 16th.
