Big thanks to everyone who braved the weather to make it out for our set last night.  It was a great gathering of fun, inspiring people and we’re glad to have gotten to share some songs with you all. Jamuel Saxon’s remix of Pinhole, as well as all of the other remixes performed last night, are available for free download on this Sezio post.  Get hyphy.

The Tree Ring has been rehearsing a new batch of songs that we plan to record later in the spring.  We will be trying a couple of them out in our set at Casbah on Thursday.  The night is going to be a fun celebration of a lot of collaboration and good times that have happened over the last two years and the cash all goes to Sezio, who finally has 501(c)3 status.

Also, the Bring Me Hope benefit compilation that Doug and I contributed to way back when is releasing in a couple weeks.  You can read a little about the project, preview our song, and pre-order the CD on the BMH website.

Switch the old lamp off
Watch where moths go
Hear their dark disarray

Tell me is it blasphemy
How they’ll wander out
Each to his own corner

Without the obvious end
To huddle tightly around
Among other wanderers

Fragile and dusty bodies
Thrust suddenly into the
Terror of consciousness
