Gov’t Mule Tour Sit-ins

October 8th, 2012

The Gov’t Mule tour for us was quite literally a dream come true.  To top it all off, there were several sit-ins over the tour’s last two nights in San Francisco and Reno.  At the Warfield in San Fran, our own Rob Ingraham (Sax) and Ed Williams (Pedal Steel Guitar) joined the Mule for several songs.  In Reno, Warren Haynes joined us during our set’s finale for “Catching Fireflies”. Ed and Rob were brought out again throughout the second set. The rest of The Revivalists got to join the party to conclude the tour with what amounted to a 2-band jam for “Take Me To The River”.

 

Stream  good audio of the Reno sit-ins at The Relix blog.

Chase’s House Music Video

September 7th, 2012

In 2004 Pope John Paul Jones received world renowned break dancers in the Vatican.  The results were bizarre, wonderful and also comical. We took that footage and hastily set it to the music of our own “Chase’s House”. Enjoy.
