Guys we stayed in Los Angeles another month. Pretty much every person we talk to here asks if we are moving to L.A. to which we reply, “we are here in the never ending now.” Or just, “no.” Another thing that people say is that, “Los Angeles is having a moment, ” and this we do feel and can agree with, and we are here for this moment. We are here!! The dance parties are fun and unpretentious and the friends stop by and the coincidences occur and we are really enjoying this. And the gear is plugged in and the keys are tickled and the songs are being written, and this is part of this moment. We are recording the soft warm easy California sounds, Melissa turns her knobs wearing a woven kaftan and I lay on the floor playing a synth with my feet. On the 1st of March we drive away from here, we will try to get all the new gear and hand-me-down outfits from friends packed into the car. We will go back to the New Mexican desert for one week to keep making the new things. And then a few shows in which to try out the very new materials: we speak of these shows on the “tour dates” page. Peace fingers up to you Los Angeles, you’ve touched us all over so gently and we’ll keep that feeling with us for a while.
