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

luv, gil

3-23-11 post-SXSW mini fest @ VAC

had an absolutely amazing time at SXSW. been heading East since… very excited to be back out in these parts. played at JJ’s Bohemia in Chattanooga last night. so fun. spent the afternoon yesterday shooting live acoustic videos in an old abandoned YMCA. very curious to see how those turn out. shot in old empty pool. on a spanish style roof. in an old basketball gym. and running around playing through the halls. more on that soon.

in the meantime, you can read the full report on our SXSW experience that i sent to the Idaho Statesman here: Finn Riggins at SXSW 2010

here are some photos that our buddy Ryan Dornfeld just sent along:
