Hidden Valley's Hickory Sticks Grill on Friday, Feb 13th was great. Turbine opened up the night with a great set. Their version of Herbie Hancock's "Rockit" was outstanding and their new(er) drummer fits right in with their sound. It was real fun to play that gig. Kurt got in some skiing before it was time to set up and play. Hidden Valley Ski Resort holds a special place to us because of our times spend their as teenagers. Thanks to Dave Bryson and we hope you'll be going to Evolve 2010

Next up - A late entry to the gigs - a night at the Donegal on March 5th. We'll also be back there on the 20th for the HomegrownRadioNJ benefit.

Thanks to Rob and Jen from Damnsam for putting on another amazing festival. Harvest Fest in Camp Minglewood as awesome on many levels. Our late night Friday set was stellar and we can't wait to get the recordings of it. It was nice to ring in 4:20(am!) with everyone as well. We got to share a bill with The Wailers, Lynch, Dr. Jah & the Love Prophets, Jimkata, Turtle Soup and, of course, Unexplained Bacon. Thanks to those guys specifically for a great time on and off stage as Alzie and Squigs sat in for the "Tube" > "Hits From The Bong". We hope you braved the cold enough and got down.
