Sleepover Show #97: The Wooden Birds

Sleepover Show #97: The Wooden Birds

It was hot, too hot to film outside, and getting hotter in the apartment. But there we were with The Wooden Birds, setting up on the couch where label-mate David Bazan had just sat a few days before to also escape the heat. The band set up and practiced a bit, while Matt Pond kept [...]

During the colder months, you’ll notice a distinct lack of sunlight in many of our videos, for Miss Loveless we would have none of that. [...]

Down the street from us there is a great used bookstore, The Boston Book Annex. We’ve wanted to film there for a while now, tucked away in some back corner, and what better way to do so than with a band that takes its name from Dostoevsky’s The Brothers Karamazov? Tim Wilson and Ryan Carbary [...]

We had a busy evening in store. It is not all that rare for Sleepover Shows to film two shows in one night, but when it happens, it’s hard to not feel a tiny bit wary. Part one of the evening was with Peter Wolf Crier who was kicking off their tour by playing The [...]

Sleepover Show #92: The Low Anthem

The Low Anthem have been touring for a few years straight now, and in the fall they announced that they’d be taking a break to recharge and record some new material. So it was with some haste that we contacted them to record a few songs with us before they disappeared for a bit. We [...]
