Jay Murphy, David’s younger brother (David being aka Murph - bassist/bass bomber of STS9), played an immensely enjoyable and highly dance-able set at ReGeneration (06/25/11). I am not sure how many times they played together, but they were having so must fun up there together and were smiling ear to ear. This was shortly after David had gotten his cancer all-clear and they both were loving life and it showed through the music.

Up Until Now is mostly Jay’s production with live contributions from his older brother (and probably some helpful studio feedback), and he sometimes uses a studio drummer. It looks like Jon “The Barber” Gutwillig from the Disco Biscuits is going to join them on guitar for a couple of dates in the NE soon.
At any rate- here’s the bandcamp link for free downloads including the ReGen set:  http://upuntilnow.bandcamp.com/   Website:  http://upuntilnowmusic.com/

Golden Gate

I was driving to work today down Golden Gate St. when suddenly Sound Tribe’s “Golden Gate” came on shuffle. Well fuck ain’t that a coincidence. They are currently down in the Mexican Riviera playing with The Disco Biscuits, Umphrey’s McGee, The Polish Ambassador, and more at Mayan Holidaze. It has been a dream vacation of mine for quite some time now. We’ll see how long it continues as I feel my favorite band the Biscuits could end up on a lonnnng break(up).

At least as a west coaster, I know I’ll be getting some Tribe out here. They are always fun. To this day, their late night show at The Independent this year in SF after Outside Lands was the best show I’ve been to in this city. Go see em if you get a chance.
