only a day or two until we pipas reunite at rip it up 2008 in säffle, sweden with lots of fun bands and friends! here's the list:
the clientele, darren hanlon, twig, gentle touch, secret shine, days, the tidy ups, pocketbooks, hormones in abundance, speedmarket avenue, the bridal shop, most valuable players, the dreamers, the ruling class, cocoanut groove, panache, the honeydrips, another sunny day.
it has been over a year since we last played together! it's hard to believe it's been that long. but we've got a whole lot of songs that we want to come out sooner rather than later. maybe we'll play some on saturday or put one up here or on some social networking site... stay tuned!

amor de días means a love of days. it's a nice way to pass the hours in between eating spoon sweets and filling the bird feeder with berry suet pellets. my family raised alarum when they thought the name was amor de dios. por dios! i haven't gone all gregorian. it's just a way of killing time in between organizing some sweet jumps for the freecycle bikes. and getting a lot of spanish guitars fixed. i brake for broken guitarritas. alasdair from the clientele and i have been recording some songs with lovely ken brake and his unsinkable vocal non-denominational choirs. we've sort of played two shows already with a little help from our friends (thanks nikolaj! thanks… Read More
