The goal for this tour is to hash out a lot of the new Lamb material, so we launched with a brand new song (written today on the drive here): "Nothing Matches."  The guys, i.e., "in-house band" picked up the songs right away, I can't wait to hear these versions online.

Then to Stacy and Carl's for the first house show!!  So warm and cozy- the people, the cider, the cupcakes.  It's just such a huge difference from a bar show!!  Experimented a lot with new material (thanks for the drummers!)- and mostly people tolerated the experimentation. :0)  Also- I'm now noticing that Stacy's laptop has a "Make Cupcakes Not War" sticker on it.  Awesome.

Oh! And the show was livestreamed (with 2 camera angles, no less!) by More Cowbell.  The file will be archived on the site, so... hopefully I didn't embarrass myself too much. http://morecowbell.net/live/

Also very excited to see Brianna Lane-- she just got back from touring BY BIKE to Boston with Pete Mulvey!!  Holy crap, lady!!  That's so badass.  I heard her last in Sheboygan at a show hosted by the Paradigm crew, on a farmhouse porch.  One of the most lovely evenings in my life- and what a beautiful voice.  Looking forward to learning the ways of a Minneapolis breakfast tomorrow with her.  Maybe inspect her knitting skills.

Thanks for such a warm kick-off!!!!  And now I'm learning all about ROKU (the netflix wet dream) and Clown Posse something or another (nightmares).
