Mini-tour: The Springwater X 2
almost 5 years ago

We were a little concerned on Saturday when we got a message saying our show in Franklin had been cancelled. Luckily, the folks at the Springwater Supper Club in Nashville were nice enough to let us add on to their Saturday night. So one thing to know about the Springwater is that it's almost a carbon copy of our home venue of Mr. T's Bowl. For every character that hangs at Ts there is his/her cou

Mini-tour: Hot Hotlanta
almost 5 years ago

Ok, so as I mentioned in the previous post, it was 99 degrees plus 100% humidity when we arrived in Nashville. When we went to Atlanta it was 102 plus the humidity. The lowest it got last night was 85 degrees. Needless to say, it was a little warm...so we played 14 Degrees and hoped that might help the heat. We played at the Banana Hammock which is a house that has monthly shin-digs. If the show o

Mini-tour: Grimey's in Nashville
almost 5 years ago

So far our tour to the Southeast has been amazing. Both shows we've played so far have been awesome! The venues, bands and folks that came out to see us have all been great to us. Hopefully, everyone that came out had as good a time as we've had.We played our first show at Grimey's Preloved Music about 3 hours after our plane touched down in Nashville. Luckily our equipment could be delivered to t

Cobra Lilies (Monolators side project)
almost 5 years ago

I wanted to write a quick post about a side project that Eli and I have started called the Cobra Lilies. Eli plays banjo and sings. I play autoharp and sing in a doll voice. It's our weirder/stranger/wackier group. We just wanted to have an outlet for some songs that we weren't sure really fit into The Monolators. Also, I wanted to play my Autoharp that I got last Christmas. We have played one ...

Strawberry Roan
almost 5 years ago

So for our second post in FOREVER, we wanted to tellyou about our new music video for our song "Strawberry Roan". We had a really awesome video premiere for it at The Echo with Castledoor, 8-bit and Summer Darling. They all made videos that were totally awesome. You can see them all here. LA-Underground was one of the hosts and did a great job recapping and compiling all the videos together for...

Conclusion: Seattle was awesome!

Olympia
over 5 years ago

(Thursday)I was very much looking forward to Olympia. I'd seen the exit for Sleater-Kinney road off of I-5 the last time we drove through on the way to Seattle and I thought "cool." I knew about Kill Rock Stars and everything, so our first visit to Washington's capitol city was much anticipated.It was cold that night. It was cold everywhere on the tour, really (except, strangely, for Seattle) but

The Towne Lounge ( a love note)
over 5 years ago

(Wednesday)I do not mind telling you that I was pretty scared before we went on for our set at The Towne Lounge on Wednesday night. I would even say I was nearly terrified; but everything turned out all right, and in fact we had a lovely night.After a day of cruising around snowy Portland in our increasingly filthy tour van, we started the evening by meeting some more creotians for beer and pop...

When The Lights Go Down In The City, Whoa whoa whoaaa.
over 5 years ago

(Prologue)I'm sitting in...not a railway station, with a ticket for my destination, but rather a hotel in Eugene, Oregon, with a few hours to spare before heading up to Portland, where we have a show tomorrow (Wednesday) night at the Towne Lounge. So, chronologically speaking, we're about halfway through our January tour.Last week I thought the trip might be over before it began: soon after com...

It’s A Snow Day Today Here in Portland
over 5 years ago

Eugene to Portland is only 105 or so miles and should have taken one and a half, two hours, tops, but instead took more like four. Those last ten miles were just…grindingly…slow. More on that later.(Sunday)So, following our Oakland show, we had a family day in San Francisco and went to The Exploratorium, which was great but a bit overwhelming for some of the parties involved. The Exploratorium
