    Albany, CA is a sleepy little city that is part of the East Bay just north of Berkeley. A mostly ‘middle class’ (for the SF Bay Area) kinda place where people raise kids without the fears of many modern urban dwellers.

It was a nice song titled, My Euphorbia and was recorded for a possible future DC comp that apparently has something to do with the tracks being performed live. Those in attendance were Edith, Wil Hendricks on standup bass, myself on guitar, Val Esway and Heather Davidson on backup vocals. Edith and Wil (via Chicago) live in Albany. [...]

  • Review: Morning Recordings – The Welcome Kinetic:

    … ‘Songs From A Hotel Bar’ sung by Edith Frost is a lovelorn, understated number backed up with a suitably subtle, glistening backing. ’We Loved The City Years’ is like a dream; some blissful harmonies wash over late night soul …
  • Demo-ing a new tune. Believe it… or not! #
  • Big power failure. Alarms going off @ the El Cerrito Plaza #
  • Power’s back. I went out to rubberneck & tripped on a curb. Bashed up my knee & hand pretty good. Smooth move, E-style… #

  • The bully husband next door is screaming at his whole family, with doors & windows open. WTF, it’s Christmas, can’t he give it rest? Asshole #
  • Bought the el cheapo dryer sheets & now the stink is creeping its way all over. Hazmat squad on the way, must protect the Bay Area wildlife. #
  • We didn’t want to fight the parking lots so we walked all over town. It was fun! Wil has some secret fancy drinks he wants to make tomorrow. #
  • Just wrote to a really good old friend that I haven’t talked to in forever. Hope I have the right addy & she writes back! I miss her a lot. #
