hey doods.
had a great time in Vegas last weekend. posted some photos from the trip over on our Boise Weekly Blog. really enjoyed The Dodos set and all the flashing lights, but mostly the carpet patterns.

we’re hosting some friends we met on tour last spring out in the Northeast called Delicate Steve here in Boise (well, technically Garden City) next wednesday (mar 23rd). their debut album just came out on David Byrne’s label Luaka Bop and they’re currently tearing up SXSW and then are stopping here in the Treasure Valley on their way to jump back on tour with Akron/Family on the West Coast. super excited to have them here. very incredible band ripping stellar instrumental celebrations. must see to believe. (watch this video for a taste) and with our Portland friends Hosannas rolling thru on their way from SXSW we decided to turn it into a little mini-fest and added two of our favorite newer local bands Owlright and TEENS to the lineup. gonna have two stages of bangin tunez. tell your friends. wednesday party at VAC. all awesome. 21+ / 8pm / only $5

for more details and set times go here: 3/23 post-SXSW mini fest @ Visual Arts Collective

the Idaho Statesman wrote a nice article about it all today… check it out: love from Michael Deeds in The Scene

poster is below. spread the word. if there’s one show you don’t miss all year, make it be this one!
luv, gil

hey team
so we’ve got some awesome fall dates around the West through October to announce…. they’ll peak with five more dates with our buds BUILT TO SPILL, all of those shows will be in California over Halloween weekend and will be our last shows before Christmas as we’ll be taking our first break longer than a couple of weeks in the last 4 years to begin work on a new record. we’re very excited for some downtime to focus on writing and creating anew… but first, we are so very pumped for all these shows in September and October and hope to see as many of you as possible. some more dates will be announced in the weeks to come, but here’s how they look as of right now. look for regular updates to our schedule at www.facebook.com/finnriggins or www.myspace.com/finnriggins. happy fall time!!

cruising through Kansas, launched last night from Boise with a mission of getting to Spindale, NC by Friday morning for a radio session with infamous WNCW 88.7 FM… then we attend the wedding of a Simpson niece near Raleigh, NC on Saturday and then jump on tour with fellow Idahoans BUILT TO SPILL and FAUXBOIS in Asheville, NC on Sunday. when we left we had 2400 miles and 36hrs to go, after an epic moonrise over Wyoming, a brief nap with a herd of deer and a greasy breakfast in Laramie, we rolled through Colorado and now in deep cruise control across Kansas with a measly 1312miles and 21hrs left to go. this is a cakewalk.

summer’s been good to us thus far. thanks to everyone that have been making it out to the shows. below are our current tour dates, including a couple of changes with our late august dates from our original posting. we’ll see you soon. new tunes are churning inside of us. this fall and winter we’ll be hibernating to churn them outside of us.
