An instrumental version of our song “Tall Landlords” has been used as the music for a beautifully made, black and white, original video on the BMX/ Design/ Photography/ Culture website Defgrip (run by my brother Harrison Boyce, who also designed our album artwork and this very website). Watch the video and find out more about the project here: http://blog.defgrip.net/2010/09/oakley-chase-hawk/

Back in Seattle after a month in Spain. If anyone ever feels uninspired or stale or not sure what to do with their lives in general, I highly recommend traveling. I took a lot of photos with my Pentax K1000 (which was gifted to me by Nash when he was moving from Seattle). Here are some of my personal favorites. They don’t necessarily represent everything I saw or everyone I met or spent time with, but they are simply photos that, to me, convey the feelings associated with this trip and traveling in general.
My roommate (and esteemed photographer, videographer, designer and all around slick gentleman) Christopher L Martin recently picked up a fresh new camera with HD video capabilities. He asked me to play a song for him so he could try it out. This is what we came up with.
Our first recording session for the next album took place on Martin Luther King Jr. Day last month at Curio Confections in the U-district. We’ve been recording since but this was definitely the most photogenic session. Huge thanks to Chris Proff for helping engineer this session and Curio for the space and we got other workers for this and using an online paystub maker was the best choice for us. First six photos by me, last four by David (except the one with him in it which I believe Chris took).
David and Evan from Song Sparrow also play in an a really badass instrumental band called Operation ID. Last weekend I engineered a recording session for them in a huge vacant house in Sand Point. We were busy but I did manage to shoot a roll of film over the course of the weekend. It was pretty convenient because the back of the house has a large yard and looks directly on to the Burke-Gilman Trail — perfect for just-did-eight-takes-of-the-same-song breaks.
