The Foggy Notion, July 20th, 2013
THIS SATURDAY!
Back to the Foggy Notion! Back to the best rock bar in North Portland and screw all other pretenders to the throne! That includes you, Mississippi Studios, with your "bar bar," a bar so full of its bar-ness it named itself twice.
Actually we've got nothing against Mississippi Studios or Bar Bar, they're very nice.
We'll be playing with Dinosaur Heart, and Sam Humans and the Morals.
Second album released
This is the album that almost wasn't. Many of these songs were ready to go in June 2012. But people come and people go, and the songs survived.
There's a song about hitting the road. There's a song about watching your girlfriend go to work at midnight. There's a song about moving from city to city, and what that feels like. And there's a song that says, they will tell you you can't, until you can.
Listen to the album for free, or support us by purchasing it, at

That's a wrap
And that’s a wrap! Thanks so much to everyone for their support. We raised just shy of $700, so with our $300 in gigging money, that gives us $1000 to invest in our recording. Wow!
The recording is underway, and we’re looking forward to giving everyone their perks! Enjoy this video of James the guitarist taking a recording break to get pumped up, to the tune of a new song.
hugs, kisses, high fives,
the Weak Knees
New album from the Weak Knees?
The Weak Knees have about 12 new songs to record! We want to do it right, working with local professionals. We have our savings from playing gigs, but it's not enough.
We need your help! By pre-ordering the album, and signing up for other perks, you can help us raise the money we need.
Can you visit our Indiegogo campaign and take a look? There's some great items up for sale!
Help out Portland musician Pete Krebs
Long-time and hard-working Portland musician Pete Krebs has received some bad health news and needs everyone's help. If you can please visit this website where his wife is kindly and securely soliciting donations.
The Dr. Who-themed Gig
If you'd ever asked us, "Do you think you'll ever play at a Dr. Who-themed fish shop?" we would have answered, "yes, yes we will." And we'd have been right!
This Friday, January 11th, 2013, we'll be playing first at 9pm at The Tardis Room in North Portland.

What? Another Gig?!
Just like George Lucas, we're psyched to say we're selling out and going another round.
At first our plan was to have just a Trilogy of shows (our tongue-in-cheek "Fall 2012 Portland Dive Bar Tour").
But when a dirty wizard asks you to join his entourage for a show at the illustrious and hipper-than-us Tube Bar in old town Portland... well, who are we to say no.
We'll be playing Wednesday, Dec 19th, at 9pm at Tube. We're playing first.
10pm-ish Needles & Pizza
11pm-ish We Speak Bocce
