I've heard/read only great things about their live sets, both the intimate two-person set-up & the fill-the-stage-up-with-people version. I'm curious to see where this group will be heading.

I saw them at this year's PDX Pop Now festival and they had at least eight or nine people onstage with them (pedal steel, two fiddle players, vibes, trumpet, stand up bass, tenor banjo...oh my....). It was the most complete sounding live set up that I've heard in a long time, that transcended the often spotty sound arrangements that they have for the festival. They played five or six songs, didn't overstay their welcome and when responding to the crowd's pleas for more, Israel Nebeker instead came out said to see the rest of the bands who were playing the festival. That's the mark of a great band. I have no doubt in my spotty little brain that this band is going to be hugely successful and that it will happen very soon.

It's good to have you back around these parts reading & commenting upon what you read. I choose what to review for this blog based upon what I want to review. No more & no less. Regarding the magazines/websites for whom I work, I write reviews based upon what my editors assign to me. There are times when I do submit material that I've conjured up on my own and I'm working towards creating more of my own content for my print jobs. When I typically review music and/or do interviews for local bands, it finds its way into ENVY Magazine, mostly because they're a Texas-based scene magazines. Right now, they have Houston & Dallas versions, but they're expanding to Austin & San Antonio in Fall 2008. I did receive a press pass to the Hollywood Black EP Release Party at the end of June, but I was unable to attend as I was working at Boy Scout Summer Camp. Since my return from camp (5 days ago), I have yet to acquire that EP, though I've heard only very good things about it. Thanks for always reading. I appreciate your comments & questions.

How do you choose what you review? Do your editors make you review this or that? Do you ever do any reviews of local bands? I'd like to hear your thoughts on the new Papermoons cd and Hollywood Black ep. (I'm not in any of these bands or any band for that matter) Anyway keep up the good work. Hey APN,
