We're playing at the Kresge Food Co-Op's "Fuck The IRS" party at the Kresge Townhall this afternoon. It's going from 5PM-8PM. Bands: James Rabbit, Blackbird Raum, Man is not a Machine, All Holes Filled, Schwobie and the French.
Since 2006 the Kresge Food Co-Op has unknowingly been racking up a per day fine for a form that was forgotten. Suddenly their bank account was frozen, all their checks bounced, and it was discovered that they owe thousands of dollars. Come help save Santa Cruz's only food co-op. Donate $2, or more if you can.

We're back from New York. It was a blast visiting old friends, meeting new people, and playing music. Spencer came along, and Libby came out from New Orleans to meet us. We recorded a live session for PRI's Fair Game; played a couple shows; and racing down the streets of Brooklyn, performed our songs a capella to the pockets of people we passed by.
Over at Fluxblog, Matthew Perpetua has posted a review of one of our shows and an MP3 of one of the tracks we performed for Fair Game. Head on over there and download it.
Tomorrow we board planes that'll carry us to Newark airport, leaving us in the wee hours of the morning to find our way to the the city of New York.
We are playing Public Radio International's Fair Game with Faith Salie. We'll let you know when the session airs.
Our live shows while in NY are:
Wednesday, March 26 at Goodbye Blue Monday with Pagoda in Brooklyn, NY.
Friday, March 28 at Arlene's Grocery in New York, NY
This Thursday, March 20, we are playing at the Zami! Co-op (807 Laurel St.) with Totally Michael, The Vox Jaguars, Tyler Parkford, and Birdsfledfromme. Show up before 8PM because this show is definitely starting then on the dot.
posted by Thor at 11:00 AMWe're playing with Jeffrey Lewis on Saturday, March 1st. Man is No Machine will be playing also. The address is 119 Highland, turn right off of Mission as you're coming into town from North Highway 1. Come and have the most fun in Santa Cruz, CA! If you can't make it to that show, we're playing the next night in Santa Rosa in a barn with Jeffrey Lewis once again. At both shows we will have copies of Coloratura available.
We're also playing at the Bike Church next week on March 4th [with World Inferno/Friendship Society]. Lots of chances to catch James Rabbit!
posted by Tyler at 8:10 PMMarcello Carlin wrote about Coloratura (I spent Friday blushing). Copies are still available by emailing me and giving me some money or coming to a show. Our next show may be in Oakland on the 23rd, or it may be somewhere else sooner.
Saturday was beautiful, the temperature was a perfect blend of sun and not-quite spring. I stumbled upon a monarch butterfly migration festival at the Natural Bridges state park. There was an octet of rangers and volunteers who sang beautifully about whaling and oil spills. Their name was the 5M band, which stood for The Mostly Mediocre Migrating Mariposa Monarchs (or something similar).
Last night we played a show at Caffe Pergolesi, it was fantastic. Our friend Amory digitally captured it and it is available to view online. Check it out!
posted by Tyler at 2:14 PMThis Saturday Night, February 9th at 8:30 p.m. we are playing a show at Caffe Pergolesi with our friends New Bengal Spice and Gamma Ray (both James Rabbit alumni). The show will be unstoppable, and there will be free copies of Coloratura for all! We're expanding forward in every dimension! Jay-Z is appearing to me in dreams and guiding me, you won't be let down!
