thanks to everyone that came out to the release show at Record Exchange last Friday for the split 7″ we did with our buddies Hillfolk Noir for Record Store Day! so pleased with how that all came together. super fun. (more info on how to get a copy of the 7″ below) we’ll have the records in tow with us for the rest of our spring shows… all of which are in Idaho. full schedule is below — some really radical shows in the next month, culminating with the annual barn burner in ‘ol Tumbleweeds, ID at the end of May — RANCH FEST 2011. contact us thru the contact page for more info. epicness awaits you.

lots of new jamz in the works… writing of the new album is starting to pick up some steam… been exciting. the new song on the 7″ record that came out last week is definitely a glimpse into some of what we’re working on. if you’re interested in hearing this new tune (SOME ARE KNIGHTZ), it’s currently only available on vinyl… as of press time, the records can be purchased on the Finn Riggins MERCH page, at Record Exchange (boise), Tender Loving Empire (portland) and at Finn Riggins or Hillfolk Noir shows. you can also order them online by contacting us thru the contact page… soon the merch page will be hosting a way to purchase as well.
