Chanteuse, Nicole Atkins along with her compatriots known as The Sea, play tonight at Portland’s Doug Fir and thanks to Justin and Briana Bononcini Lowe we will be gathering at their home to eat and make merry with Nicole before the show. We need to do more of this kind of thing - the last one was at my house for a Cut Copy pre-show dinner. So any of you touring bands out there need a pre-show dinner just holler and we’ll see what we can do. And any Portland folks who want to offer up their homes for a bash like this holler too. Let’s call it social networking in the “real” world…

Tea For Julie are set to release their new CD, ‘the Sense In Tying Knots’ on June 25th the day they play the Doug Fir. Have a listen to a track from the new CD below.
