A memorial day weekend of firsts for Sid and Fancy saw some killer busking going on at the Grants Pass Boatnik, our first all-in-one-vehicle trip, and we topped it off by crossing the state line to the south and rolling into Alex's native lands of the Cal. for the first time.
We, of course, have to give mad props to the Rubberneckers
for being such fine hosts and for inviting us down to the quiet but rowdy city of Arcata. They put us up at the Jambalaya for dinner and rockedness then drove us out to the coolest farmhouse we've ever seen. We slept splayed out in a 2 story building that must have been built a thousand years ago, replete with an old windmill and spooky spooky shed out back. All in all we couldn't have asked for more when it comes to a first impression of the Northern California potential for awesome.
If you're in the dark on the Rubberneckers then check them out quick! They have a down-to-earth, graveled sound that gets your boots stompin and can cause all sorts of ruckus amongst the right kinds of people. They write catchy songs of woe and whim that speak to anyone whose ever loved, lost, and drank it off. Great times, good people, check them out.
When says you? How about July 24th for all you Ashland rowdies and the following day for our friends in Eugene. We play a 2 show stint with them and our good good friends My Life in Black and White over the end of July so don't miss it! Check back to any of our sites for details!
Thanks again 'neckers...we look forward to the next time!
