Thumbs Up 2007!

It' s been a good year and we got the majority of what we set out to do accomplished, hopefully 2008 will see us hit the road a bit more and much more local liveage. We did finish and release COARSEGOLD, which we are very proud of, and if you still haven't picked up a copy you can do so here, TURN RECORDS, or at your favorite online shopping source or local record store. Read some reviews of COARSEGOLD in the Press section.

We got one more full band live show comin up on Saturday November 17th in San Francisco at The Hemlock Tavern, check out the Shows page for all the details. This will be our last full band rock show for 2007, we're gonna lay low after that and work on some new tunes perhaps and eat lots of holiday food, so come out and help us party the night away at The Hemlock!

Thanks again everyone for all the support!

-Simon and all of TDC

7/6/07 - Help, We've been robbed.

So i wanted to post this here in case anyone out there has any info that might help us get back the gear that some A-hole(s) stole from us after our show lastnight at Cafe Du Nord.

We played with Talkdemonic at Cafe Du Nord (2170 Market St.) lastnight, 7/5/07....after the show we parked our vehicle on Waller St. (Waller and Laguna, right off of Market near DuBoce) at approx. 2am....came down to move the vehicle at 8:30 am and noticed it had been broken into and equipment was missing. Nearly four thousand dollars worth of gear had been stolen.

If anyone has any info that might help us get all or any of our gear back it would be immensley appreciated. Like many others out there, we are a struggling independent band, that doesnt make much money, and this is an incredibly huge blow. We're unsure of how we're gonna replace this equipment, so if anyone has any info at all that could help us, please drop us a line. Thanks so much.

here is the list of gear that was stolen:

1962 Fender American Made RI Stratocaster Guitar (Brown Sunburst) w/ Tweed Case

1962 Fender American Made RI Jazz Bass (Black w/ tortoise pick guard, Stack-knobs, a Leo Quan Badass II Bridge & flatwound strings) Serial # V115925 and standard black case

Casio Privia Electric Piano in a Silver Gig Skins travel case

14" K Hi Hat Cymbals (one pair)
20" K Ride Cymbal
19" Sabian Vault Crash Cymbal
Pearl cushion drum seat (black)
Black 22" Cymbal bag with two red stripes down the front

We're back from our mini tour and we'll soon have pictures to prove it! Thank you to everyone who came out to the shows they went off incredibly well and an extra big thank you to Joel and Hilary in Sacramento for all your hospitality, letting us make noise in your house and lighting off bottle rockets in our honor, you guys are awesome.

The new Album is coming along nicely, we're working on a timeline for release so keep checkin in, we'll post it up as soon as it gets smoothed out. We should be playing a bunch more shows around town soon too so keep a look out for those.

Also, Nate sat down with Johnny Ray Huston from the San Francisco Bay Guardian for a nice interview. Check out the featured article on us, click here.
