Tractor Tavern?!

Hey folks,

If you actually read this blog, you've probably been to one of our nights at the Redline. But next Tuesday there's an opportunity to see something special. We're playing at the one and only Tractor Tavern! For those who have never been, the Tractor is known for putting on great acts - local and national - in the style of blues/folk/jazz/etc. I, myself, have seen a few great shows there including Stanton Moore, Rebirth Brass Band, and the Dusty 45's.

So not only are we lucky enough to be playing there but we got our name/picture in the TT ad in the Stranger! It might not seem like a big deal to you guys but we're pretty stoked about it. Someday when we're a bigger act and play shows like this all the time having our name and picture in the paper will be no big deal but today, this is a big deal.

You know what else is a big deal? People who come to watch us perform (you). Seriously, Jason and I talk at length after every show about who came and how awesome it was to see them at our show. And occasionally we laugh at their dance moves/drunkenness but mostly we share our appreciation.

And it's not just us performing Tuesday. Also seen that evening will be The Horde & The Harem, Another Perfect Crime, and Elba.

So here's our top ten list of reasons why you should pay $6 to see us at the Tractor next Tuesday even though you can see us for free at the Redline:

1. Ballard is way closer to where you live.

2. The sound system at the TT is stellar and will make us sound even more awesome than we normally do.

3. You can hang out at King's before and down a few $2 Rainiers.

4. It's a Tuesday so you'll actually find a place to park on Ballard Ave!

5. The lights are a little dimmer so Jason's bad haircut and my skin rash are slightly less noticeable.

6. WE GOT OUR FRICKIN' PICTURE IN THE PAPER!

7. More people in Ballard are going to appreciate/get your ironic t-shirt than the weirdoes hanging out at the bus stop outside the Redline.

8. You can brag to all your coworkers on Wednesday about staying up late and drinking on a Tuesday after being drunk all of last weekend at Goldie's on 45th.

9. Your roommate will finally understand that the West Seattle Pleasure Club is a band, not a sketchy club on Delridge Way because he/she has actually heard of the Tractor.

10. We've got a special cover we're starting our set with dedicated to all the Seattle hipsters . . .
