We also have single release shows coming up in Philly (2/23 at Kung Fu Necktie) and Washington, DC (2/24 at Rock N Roll Hotel)!

If you’re wondering what “extended single” means, here’s the deal: the single and video are for “Prodigal Daughter,” and the package will include three bonus tracks, a special brand new solo track by each of us. We’re very excited to share these with you!

Now, as a reward for reading all of that, we give you our session with Dog + Pony, in which we sing “Black Hole of Calcutta”:
