hi everyone!
we hope you are all having a great and joyous holiday season. in all
sincerity, we cant thank you enough for your continued support and for
your help in making 2010 a great year!
while this year we played fewer shows than any previous year, somehow
we still leave the year feeling accomplished. rishi lived in scotland
for the first half of the year, yet we were able to finish and release a
new ep and our first ever 7″ (we still have a few of each of the 300 pressed for purchase here).
as a special holiday treat, we’re making the b-side of that 7″
available for free mp3 download as a thank you for all of your support!
this is the first time this song is available in digital format.
download “down to bed” for free!

2011 plan?
so, what’s the plan for 2011? for starters, we are going to do our
first ever shows in the east coast that we are targeting for spring.
however with brian’s gnarly leg break that occurred a few weeks ago, we
might push that back a bit…..

additionally, we have already started working on new tunes! with
rishi and dave now both in nyc, they have committed to writing a few
days a week and sharing the love with the west coast rhythm riders!
we are forever grateful for your support through the years and are
looking forward to a sharing more with you in the near future!
avesta.sweden – rishi’s solo album out now!
in other news from the signal hill camp, rishi recently completed a solo album under the moniker avesta.sweden.
five years in the making and it’s finally finished! he worked with our
good buddy patrick murphy to mix, produce and master the tracks. you can
stream the album, grab a free track, and read about inspiration behind
each song from the album’s web release, www.thisyeariwillforget.com. and if you feel so inclined, you can buy it for 3 smackers!

2010 favorites
and, what would a year-end wrap-up be without a list of some of our
favorite albums/tunes from the year! we will leave you with our
favorites, but before we go, THANKS AGAIN! we love you!
here’s to a great 2011!
