13th of February 2007-Decided it was time to at least write a little something about this gig.First time to this venue, its small. Very Small. Stage was pretty much none existent...and pushed into the corner. The four members of the Long Winters were crammed on to the stage. Plus the cider pump wasn't working so I couldn't get my cider 'N' black. A nice venue for a smaller bands but so unfitti...
Before you call me a blasphemer, check these guys out live and watch them blast their way through a two hour set filled with some seriously catchy and literate power popping rock.Sure, they were drinking bottles of water instead of beer after beer, but John Roderick was definitely channeling his inner Bob. The stage banter was obscenely witty and quick. The guy has a career as a stand up comedi...
I went to see The Long Winters last night with my friend, Jaye. Now, it was at my favorite venue, The Showbox, in Seattle and I think I might like the Wiggles if they performed there, but it was terrific.

No, that's stupid), so I thought I'd share...
Last evening I saw a "Scary movie" with a large group of people, the only way such films should be viewed in my opinion. This is not because these films, or this one in particular, are so scary they shouldn't be viewed alone, this is just to say that they're a lot more fun to watch when there are 7 or 8 people sitting with their knees up, clinging to their cupholder, waiting for the next in...
Here's John Roderick, the singer/songwriter of The Long Winters performing his song "Hindsight" off of 2006's Putting The Days To Bed. I listened to the first half of the album this afternoon at the gym, and I must say that it's one of my favorite albums to come out in a long time. Still.The third installment of the "One Shot at The Croc" series filmed during the construction of The Crocodile...
