An Invitation To Love is a lung vibrating throw back to the best of grunge/early 90's indie rock days. It is a side project of The Graze.....or maybe The Graze is a side project of it. Anyhoo, Open Choir Fire is a pretty decent band too, so this is a good lineup.

Rosyvelt and The Plains have received rave reviews for their respective full length albums, both released late last year.

Thursday Sept 15
Nectar Lounge
with:
- Birds of Prey
- Exit Stories
- MBlue
Nectar seems to be a pretty quality venue, though it might be a little cleaner than we're used to. It's big, has good sound. We're playing with Birds of Prey so we can finally find out if they've been using our mic cables. By the way we've got more free tickets for this show than the venue's capacity so you should email us and get one, or five.
Tuesday July 12

This will be a fun show and it's for Noise for the Needy.
Wednesday June 15
Neumos
with:
- The Glasses
- Channel
- Treasure State
Our second show at Neumos put on by NadaMucho with much help from Double Dos Recordings . The show starts at 8pm and we are going on last. I know, I know, it's a weekday and everybody has to get up early for work in the morning. But c'mon, life is short, let your hair down, throw caution to the wind. You deserve it. And we promise we'll play an extra good show for you. Oh yea, we're also playing on the radio on Sunday June 12 to promote this show. Not enough room for a full band so it will be Terry and me doing misc. acoustic music. It'll be from about 6pm to 9pm on 89.9 KGRG.
Fri April 22
MarsBar
with:
- Glassy Globe
- Rosyvelt
Q: What would posses me to wait until after this show to post its flyer on the website? A: Procrastination The damn flyer was too big for my scanner. Sorry about the laziness. This was actually one of the best shows we've ever played. Rosyvelt was great even though they won't back me up on this. Glassy Globe was strangely soothing yet stimulating. Thanks to all who came out, especially those who stayed until the end.
Tues April 12
with:
- Part Man Part Horse
- Most
It's a $6 cover all of which gets donated to Bad Fruit. Bad Fruit is trying to get non-profit status and they try to help cover medical bills for artists/musicians without any insurance. I think there might be some raffles or something during the show as well. Relatively short sets.
