Thanks to everyone that tuned in last night via radio or webcast as we played live on WWPV 88.7FM here in Burlington VT. It was a total success, congrats to the lucky winner of the pair of tickets to Higher Ground on Saturday for the ‘Hometown Throwdown’. And we’d like to say thanks to Mr. Gary Busey and Frozach for taking the time out of their busy California lives to not only tune in but to call in and show some support.

The radio show was the first official gig of the new lineup as Japhy Ryder. Prior to it we had performed once under our devious alter-ego’s name W.E.S.T. opening for the New Deal at Higher Ground in February. Needless to say, it was a total success. We’re playing 80% new material this weekend, we like it and so should you. Last night also featured our dear friend Matt Deluca standing in for Joshua on percussion. Matt is a wonderful gentleman, father and musician. We are honored to have him with us whenever possible, including the coming show at Higher Ground on Saturday.

The gigs this weekend are going to be epic. Expect the unexpected as we team up with Bodega and Otis Grove to bring you some damn fine grooves. Tickets for Higher Ground are still $8 until day of show, we strongly suggest saving yourselves the extra cash (maybe for a tasty beer at the show?) and getting your tickets now via the online ticketing system.

Stay tuned for pictures and audio and that kind of good stuff from the coming weekend. Travel safe.
