We're Back Baby!

We're back from our trip to New York where we spent 2 weeks writing new songs, practicing, and jamming in Jim's family's cabin. We had 450 acres of forests and lakes to hike and swim in and could play music as loud as we wanted any time. I'm working on a little video montage of the trip too.



In other news, thanks again to everybody who came out in the rain to our show at Midnight Victorian's. We got to play all night and it was an awesome time.




We also hope everybody enjoyed our performance at Gallery Hop on Saturday. Playing on the street in front of Gypsy Cafe was one of our most fun shows ever. There were lots of people dancing around, little kids, and even a group of mimes who came by and started acting out our songs.

Stay tuned to find out about our upcoming performances at the Columbus Marathon, Victorian's, and Gallery Hop.

Xenon Jam

As many of you have noticed while watching the live performance of the Xenon Jam that we did at Rayfest, it's totally f'in awesome.
It's one of my favorites of our experimental, electro/jazz, trip/hop rock jams.

I was just listening to a recording of an hour long improv jam that had a rendition in it, and I thought, this is just too good for me to keep it to myself. So here it is for all the world to hear!

This was recorded on January 17, 2008. It is a spontaneous live recording (no post-production effects or editing has been added).

It also features friend of the Neighbors, Bryan Brown tearin up the bass. Know that he had never even heard the Xenon Jam before he contributed to this rendition of it. You can tell when we first get into it, he is still riffing around, then he slowly fades his volume down when he notices we are doing the quiet intro to the jam.
