AUSTIN, TX!

Damn it, we made it! We will be taking this town by storm through Sunday. We hope we all make it out of here relativily unscathed. Gonna go eat some ass ripping Mexican at Polvo's now.

DENTON, TX

DENTON, TEXAS

So, we've spent quite a few hours on the road learning how to not enjoy one another, but I feel we have succeeded because we can now tolerate each other 7.34% of the time... not too bad. We ended up stopping by Jerry Erickson's ranch today to check out William, Flora's horse, and he seems to be enjoying himself 7.34% of the time, but I have faith he'll pull through.

We shove off to Austin tomorrow, to impress no one, but will be victorious in having much more fun than any NYC band trying to be the next big dud. Or any band from MPLS trying to sound like a NYC band, trying to be the next big dud... good luck assholes.

So, here's to us having a good time. We party like we mean it!

Palmer's Bar

So last night we had the privilege of playing at Palmer's and want to thank Chooglin' for inviting us to share the floor with them. I also want to thank the entire staff for their generous hospitality and great history lessons of the joint. Chris, I want to know more!

I have been in the bars now for a good decade and I hang my head in shame by saying last night was the very first time I had ever set foot in Palmer's. Yes, I am a moron for taking this long to witness the incredible environment of this joint. No longer dammit! I vow to make this watering hole one of my regulars. Way too good of a place to pass up!

Bob Tema has some great shots of the entire show up on Flickr. Check them out HERE.

Last night also marked a changing of the guards of sorts. Jake will be hanging up his bass for awhile. He has decided to step a side while we hit the road. He and his wife have recently purchased a new home and the timing of that in conjuction with our forthcoming tour have posed some complications. So, in the interim we have held Mr. Eric Reyers at gun point and forced him to learn our songs. I will attest that this dude sure knows how to slap a mean bee-ace, but the jury is still out on how well he can throw down when it comes to pounding the suds. We'll have a plenty of time to figure that out though while beating the pavement to and from Texas.

So, with that said, we like to welcome Eric aboard to Camp Evening Rig, but more importantly would like to thank Jake for all of his contributions up to this point and that we'll miss you out there on the road you ol' koot!

Oh, and PS: Happy Valentine's Day.

LIQUOR RUN

GRANDPA MILLER

( THE ONE CLOSEST TO THE TAP... OF COURSE )

Hey folks-

Well, I successfully made through 31 days sans booze. Yeah for me! That all comes to a screeching hault this evening dammit! Not quite sure where I'll end up but where ever it may be, watch out because my liver is strong and my tolerance is low!

Anyhow, we are in the midst of getting things ready for the road. Very excited to get out of town and get into the south. All the rock, beer, BBQ and the wide open roads with temperatures in the 70's... shit yeah!

When we get back we are planning on drumming up 6 or so songs for an EP to be released a some point this summer. We plan on this being more of a stripped down, back porch, swinging party type of EP. More to come.

We suggest you give these fellas a good listen: ALL RATTLE AND DUST
