Laissez les bons temps rouler!!

 

Friends!

The CCDs keep rolling down the road and we’re looking forward to seeing YOU! The tour is heading to Dom’s old stomping grounds, the SOUTHWEST!

Check us out in New Mexico & Arizona this week! We’re also super jazzed (heh) to be performing in New Orleans at JazzFest!!! We’ll be hanging out, checking out some music and making some of our own – Laissez les bons temps rouler!!

We’re weaving all over the US this spring so, visit the TOUR page to find us! We’ll also be selling a limited edition tour poster designed by Justin Helton exclusively at shows for the May dates – pretty sweet!

Who’s going to Record Store Day? On April 21, independent record stores across the US and in Europe will be selling a limited edition Coke-bottle green 7″ vinyl featuring our version of the Run-DMC classic “You Be Illin’” on Side A with the original version on Side B! How cool is that?! To find a store near you, check out their site!

Brian Moats shot some great photos at our show in Louisville, KY – Check out his photo blog here.

We’ve also had a few great interviews lately, the press section is all shiny and new, check it out!
