Last Shows For Awhile...
We have two shows coming up in the next 10 days, and they will be the last two at least until November. We’re going to try and take that time to repair a motor in a TASCAM Portastudio-424, write some new songs, play in other bands, and keep searching for a soup that actually fills us up. To be honest, this isn’t really “news”, or something we think you would care about,...

Gear Issues
So we were thinking about it, and we’ve had an amazing, nearly comical amount of gear issues on this tour, and they have gotten progressively worse with each night. I can only imagine what is going to happen when we get to Brooklyn. Here’s a brief rundown.
Day 1 - I arrive in Champaign, turn on my amp to practice with Ryan from GN&GM for the first time, and my reverb is making a...

WE HAD TO CHANGE OUR BAND NAME.
Hello, we are writing to tell you that we have to change the name of our band.
Last summer, we chose the name Twin Cats without knowing there was another band named “The Twin Cats”. They asked us to change the name, and we have obliged. Here are the reasons why they win this battle:
They have been a band under that name since 1998 (10 years on us).
The Twin Cats was founded by...

I’m really excited to finally have recordings that sound like the band we are. ...
