most likely my most favorite band of all time. i first met them in sf when they opened up for leftover crack at thee park side, i was playing my guitar trying to make money for a ticket, and cj (their banjo player) saw me putting me of the guest list. after that i've seen them a few more times in portland, and santa cruz, and played a show with them in ashland. great guys and gals. if you haven't heard them yet, you should.

I saw them in Tucson, behind a bank in the streetlights. It was a very memorable and good show, the local circle K ran out of forties (that's a memorable part, not a good one)

speaking of stores running out of booze, i think we bought out safeway for chillable red the night i played with them in ashland. it was a house show, but there had to been 150 kids there crammed in the living room, the kitchen, kids hanging off the staircase, and kids passed out on the lawn. if was one hell of a night, but my fender acoustic was stolen. i left it on the front porch while i grabbed a beer, and someone ran off with it. fucktards!

I've seen them a few times on the west coast and they are definitely worth hearin'. I highly recommend going to hear them play if your going to be near someplace that their playing.

They're releasing a new album really soon. They are indeed great.
The banjoing abilities are particularly impressive in some songs.

yeah i remember once as a kid sneaking into a bar to see the violent femmes, but getting kicked out after 10 minutes. i think that's the only show i've been to here in alaska. nothing goes on here, i guess tech nine is playing pretty soon, but fuck that noise. lol

I was in a local grindviolence band around there with some old friends of mine. We played a few warehouse gigs with Turbid North before they headed to Texas. I was like, 15 at the time. "Flesh Garden". Haha.
