Whatever floats your boat

And we're back! After a couple of down days due to some Blogger distemper, we head over to The Rainbow, circa April 17. Although I haven't seen them before, the band has been busily making a name for itself since 2007, playing hither and yon, criss-crossing the country four times with their folk-punk tunes. Most recently they've unleashed an EP produced by Menno from Hollerado on the world (a &-inch of said tunes is alleged to be in the works).

We'll start of with Justin Hess on mandolin.



Christina Laurin sings!



Ted Hall on banjo!



The whole lot!



Stringed action!



Christina breaks out the ukulele.



The view from the right.



I guess jumping about is out the question ...



More Christina!



And that's that. I believe I've seen them busking outside Hartman's a couple fo times, but their next inside date is at Mavericks, along with Chuck Ragan, Dave Hause and Old Crimes.
