LISTEN: Good Luck With That American Dream. Recorded live @ Eddie’s Attic, this somewhat yachty version of our track that appeared on an international Coca-Cola commercial gives a preview of some of the sounds you can expect at the Earl on Saturday.  Smooth?

Speaking of the E.P., we’re having a private listening party next Tuesday, June 30 at Diesel in the Virginia Highlands:  PleaseRock the Yacht – A Celebration of Y O U, Yacht Rock, and All Things PleaseRock. Presented by PleaseRock and Sashay Creative Events.

We’ll be blasting our new recordings, debuting a couple of 3 Dog Stevens webisodes (including their ill-fated trip to Yacht Rock), and explaining away the confusion regarding our many aliases.

We’re also giving away tons of free stuff:  free food from Diesel, free drinks from Atlanta Brewing Company, free tickets (Pete Yorn, Y O U, etc.) from Ticket Alternative, and perhaps most importantly:  The Yacht Rock Cruise Pass, which grants free admission to every Yacht Rock at the 10 High for the rest of the year!

RSVP to the party to get more chances at winning things:  RSVP@SASHAYEVENTS.COM.

Parting Shot:  Here’s me waxing poetic about product placement in an interview with Creative Loafing at Brew at the Zoo (half-way through this video):

WATCH: Break (2006)

We recorded this song live in Clay’s studio one hour before Director Tyler James showed up to shoot the video.  The shoot itself was quick – a few passes of the song in front of a green screen.  But then Tyler printed out 10 frames per second, cut us out of the print-outs, and stop-motion animated the papers.

PS – Our new picture up there is by Patrick Williams.  Here’s a link to his blog where he posted some pix from our recent photo shoot.
