Hello folks! Hope everyone stuffed their faces yesterday – I know we all did. Now that Thanksgiving’s past I figured we’d give you a little update for how we’ll be finishing off the year…

Throughout the rest of November we’ll be finishing overdubbing Volume Three at the Music Shed here in New Orleans. Then, come December, while Vol. III’s shipped off for mixing and mastering, we’ll be hitting the road once again for a few little short trips here and there, East and West… Six new showdates just posted + more to come! —–>

Oh, and this Sunday we’ll be making a big little announcement with a whole host of prizes available for those who participate.

Need a hint?

Has a little something to do with this:

Thank you Raleigh, NC for showing us such an amazing time last night… it means alot to us when you’ve only hit a town twice and there’re already people singing your songs, dancing along, greeting you so warmly… And damn did Holy Ghost do the damn thing last night – thank you Kev for pulling me up during the set and making me play some keys…

Good times, good air; Water trickles softly in the background – we’re in Cary packing up to go to Beaufort tonight – debuting at a joint called Hanna’s Haus – looking like we’ve got a damn good time ahead if us – thank you everybody for making it so…

Ad astera per aspera

0 Tonight! Three Rings of Funk on Frenchmen Street!

Tonight come join “Three Rings of Funk: A Spectacular Summer Circus” at the Blue Nile on Frenchmen Street. Three amazing local bands will be musically stroking your everythang in this order:

10pm: Alex McMurray Band ~ This stone cold streetstyle songwriter – in the vein of Tom Waits and Danny Barker – comes heavy with an aural arsenal of a band: Carlo Nuccio, Joe Cabral and Bill Malchow

11pm: The Dirty Bourbon River Show ~ You know how we do

Midnight: E Company ~ NOLA Jazz Soul Funk to bring you to the moon. Also a quintet, and just as dynamically heavy as the first 2 acts, E Company packs memorizing melodies with tight, intricate beats and fat syncopated grooves that put a smile on your face and a stranger’s hand firmly on your ass.

Do not miss this shit. These three amazing bands will light you the fuck up. Come get some.

0 Noah’s Guitar For Sale

Washburn D10CEB Pro acoustic /electric guitar for sale – only one owner (Noah), this guitar has been played in the Dirty Bourbon River Show since its inception, in very good condition, completely set up, great intonation, stays in tune for entire gig, no matter how hard you play it, one small split in the surface finish in the front and standard pick wear on the guard, otherwise looks very good and plays incredible – new delrin nut, string pegs & saddle – this is a pro guitar owned and maintained by a professional musician.

Listen to the albums listed in our “music” section to the right – all acoustic guitar tracking was done with this Washburn. Works great as a studio guitar or a gig guitar. Pick-up/amplification very high for an acoustic.

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

As a bonus, it has both a 1/4″ and XLR outputs, so you don’t have to use a DI if you’re running into a stage snake. Also has an onboard tuner & eq for lows, mids, hi’s + presence knob. And as a special bonus, I am including 10 sets of Dunlop strings, 5 sets of Martin strings, a new Martin neckstrap, a new Planet Waves black shoulder strap with locks, an used Hohner gig bag, a string winder, and a special Simpsons guitar pick featuring Auto the bus driver.

I’m asking $500 for the package, or you can make a bid on eBay. If you’re interested or have any questions hit me up at: contactingnoah@gmail.com

0 Will Google+ Beat The Facebook?

google-vs-facebook — Google's new networking site "+" crosses swords with the facebook

Lookout Facebook: Google recently launched a new test version of their own social networking site – Google+. Currently available by invite-only (thanks Brad of Gypsy Space Caravan for the heads up), Google is currently ironing out the kinks and preparing for a full public launch. One has to wonder – just as Myspace finally met its day, will Facebook too soon be swept under the rug? With recent issues of privacy within Facebook and a ADD-like world consciousness, will Google+ be the next big thing? Search engines, Gmail, maps, docs – they do pretty good with these… but just how good is Google+?

Here’s a little review:
