The Car Seat Boys head to the rest of France!France has always been fun to tour in because food is such a high priority for the French. Every venue we went to we were fed like kings. Instead of crappy plastic-packaged goods from a grocery store we were fed home-cooked meals and fresh breads and chee...

BRUSSELS / LONDON / PARISSD: We drove west from Hamburg to get to Brussels, Belgium to play at this cool cultural center called the Botanique. The building was almost like an ornate greenhouse complete with a glass dome and a massive garden complex out front. It seemed a little to good to be true wh...

We're back for another exciting episode of Archive Sunday. This Sunday the Boys head back to Europe. This time we start in the wonderful city of Berlin, which I would say is in my top 3 cities in Europe. I would definitely live there. It's a very hip culture with graffiti plastered all over ...

September Newsletter: The Studio

I write to you from boarding group “C” of a flight from Seattle to LA. A week of vacation with the family, and then a solid month in the studio with the boys. Usually the days leading up to recording time are spent in restless planning, getting backing tracks bounced and practicing parts to a fi...

Notice for September

The following month we will spend largely in the studio (more on that in the newsletter!) and as such, I won't have much spare time to devote to internet dealings. Ethan will be doing the solo performance stream for September, and beyond Archive Sunday stream I probably won't be present much...

The Car Seat Boys head back west after a big east coast run! I was looking through these pictures and noticed how tired all of us were and then remembered that the routing for this tour was complete shit. We were booked to go Seattle, east 5 hours to Spokane, then BACK west to Bellingham, then BACK ...

AK: So this post will wrap up the east coast tour with NE-HI. We stopped in Richmond, Atlanta, Nashville and Omaha though it was all a blur. I honestly can't remember a single show. Even the pictures don't bring up any memories for me. That's sort of how it goes sometimes when you're...

Archive Sunday #11

The infamous tiny drum set from our Tiny Desk concert! This is going to be a fun one.So it looks like we blew through Toronto, Cambridge and NYC because I didn't get more than a few pictures between all three of those shows. But we've now made our way to the NPR building in Washington D.C. w...

Saturday Morning Qs

When I was a kid, it was a special treat to go to the used CD store. There were a couple in town, and I remember spending hours browsing through the shelves. Usually, I was only going by what the packaging could tell me: a CD that was several dollars cheaper than others by the same artist hinted tha...

Archive Sunday #10

The boys are back from their first European tour and are headed to the midwest to start their tour of the states. Most east coast tour runs for us have started in the midwest. We are very familiar with this snowy drive. You can see our old van here. We nicknamed it "Bertha". It was an old 19...

August Newsletter: The Chase

I woke up at 4 am this morning from a strange, vivid dream; the dream, plus the fevered interpretation my mind gave it in the following minutes, transformed alchemically into a Good Idea. How Good it was, I wasn’t sure - I didn’t want to follow all the paths it opened up, wanted to preserve the ...

Maud Gone in the Netherlands

The boys continue their European tour and move on to the Le Guess Who fest in Utrecht, Netherlands.Utrecht is probably my favorite European city. It has all of the charm of Amsterdam (canals, colorful rows of homes, pedestrian/biker friendly) but without the insane amount of tourists. It's a qui...

Thanks to all who came! Streams with covers in them can't be archived with video (weird legal thing, I am told) so here is audio for the vaults.

Archive Sunday #8

The boys head off to BBC and Rough Trade to showcase their talents in the Big Apple (Ben). I don't remember much about the radio show other than I think we played pretty well. The BBC studio is pretty nuts though. It's massive and gorgeous and most likely extremely expensive. It was definite...

This week the boys head to London to start their first Euro Tour!This trip was when things started to feel pretty “real” for me. Getting to travel abroad to play music was always a dream that I thought I’d never get to live out so this one felt really good.Seth: It was a long flight to the U.K...
