Merry Christmas Mix!

Filed under freebies, music

I’ve been putting together Christmas ‘mixed tapes’ for the past couple of years. Just finished my newest – I think it might be my best yet! Although the previous years are pretty fantastic too. :) All mixes are available for download below through mediafire.com. I’ve discovered lots of great new bands searching for these, if you find one you especially like tell your friends and buy their album!

Hope you all have a wonderful Christmas, enjoy!

My brother ‘n law Zach, (aka Rushmore Beekeepers) released a brand new cd the end of October. I helped him out with the design and in true diy-fashion printed, cut, folded and sewed the booklets together myself! Zach and Carrie (most-awesome-sister) folded all of the cd cases together drew the RB on the front with a handmade stencil and stamped ‘Rushmore Beekeepers – Throwing Mud at Your Streetlight’ on the case and printable cds.

when in AZ

Filed under music

Flyaway Tigers (the band I’m in) recently contributed to an awesome project, when in AZ.
It’s a compilation of Local AZ bands covering other local AZ bands. I downloaded it last night, all 55 songs worth and have been making my way through it and it’s SO GOOD.

I recommend you all download it now, it’s just $8 and the money goes to Valley nonprofits that support music education in schools and communities. Go to wheninaz.com to download the album and check the upcoming concert schedules promoting it! Yeah!!!

PS. We’re playing Friday night at Modified, free, 9pm – with two great groups from the compilation: Stellaluna and Matthew Reveles

Here’s our contribution, ‘Drown’ by the local band Harcuvar

Smile Ease

Filed under music

se Last night at The Trunk Space was so fun, those guys are so nice to put all that work into a venue for kids to hang out and play music and display art.

Woah, it’s The Smile Ease! We’re touring with these guys and they’re awesome (AND crazy). It’s not just a mini tour for them either, it’s a full blown one. Check ‘em out, maybe they’re playing in your city.
