Two Nights In Anacortes!

Posted by Chris on 16 Aug 2010 | Tagged as: News from the Road

I wasn’t even there myself, so I have to take Trevor’s word for it when he says this is how it happened:”It was another whirlwind weekend down to Washington State. Friday night we were back at the Watertown Pub in downtown Anacortes. I think it’s been nine or ten years since we played there last.  […]

Park City

Here’s a Trevor recap from a few weeks back…
Newpark Amphitheatre
Park City, Utah
We had driven to Boise the night before to break up the drive to Utah so we left at a reasonable time in the morning for the gig. We had played their summer concert series the year before so we already knew what to […]

Another whirlwind weekend.  Here’s Trevor to tell us about the first two days:
It was a 4 a.m. departure from Vancouver on Friday morning. We made good time and got to Lewiston Idaho in the early afternoon. We seem to end up In Lewiston about once a year. This time we were back behind Boomers on […]

An Idaho Weekend

Posted by Chris on 26 Jun 2010 | Tagged as: News from the Road

Here’s Trevor’s recap of a whirlwind weekend in the gem state:Sometimes it seems a little crazy to travel so far to play only a couple of shows. But at the end of the day I think that we all generally agree that the payoff overrides the monotony of the long journey there and back. This […]

Three Days In Oregon

Posted by Chris on 07 Jun 2010 | Tagged as: News from the Road

A long time since a road diary entry.  Sorry y’all.  But here’s Trevor’s recap of our three-day swing through Oregon, which ended, like, yesterday.  How’s that for timely?
It was a long day on Thursday to get from Vancouver to the show in Bend. Things got rolling about 5 A.M and we arrived at the Silver […]

What can we say that hasn’t already been said about the Tractor Tavern in beautiful Ballard? Everyone that plays there raves about the place. We’ve been playing the Tractor for a decade or so, and every time we do Chris and I can’t help but say to ourselves “Maybe tonight nobody will show […]

Knitting Factory, Boise, ID, January 2010

Boise, Bellboys and Bean Burrito’s
This phrase pretty much sums up last Saturday night in Idaho. Boise was the town  we were playing, the Bellboys opened up the show and a bean burrito was what I had for lunch earlier on in the day. The Knitting Factory is a top-notch venue we’ve been playing […]

First National, Pocatello, ID, January 2010

Posted by Chris on 07 Feb 2010 | Tagged as: News from the Road

It’s different these days, in Clumsy Lover land.  We used to be on the road over 300 days a year.  Basically lived in the van, more or less cut off from the realities of home life.  Not saying it wasn’t fun a lot of the time, but honestly, looking back, it’s not really a way […]

Moscow, ID weekend

Moscow, Idaho January 15 & 16, 2010
 (written by Trevor)
We’ve been going to the college town of Moscow three times a year or so, for over fifteen years! How is that possible? We’ve played club shows, university events, street fairs, ren fests, hemps fests, weddings…the full gamut. So suffice it to say, we know the town […]

New Year’s Eve

New Years Eve 2009
Spirit Mountain Casino
Grand Ronde, Oregon
 (written by Trevor)
After a month off, it felt good to be back in the van heading south. Getting up at 5 didn’t feel quite so good but as we all know, the traveling lifestyle involves a lot of late nights. And early mornings…
It was a slow wet drive […]
