altamont pass

For months I've been telling people about upcoming shows by the "duo" of me and Russell Barber. Tim Cupps almost always plays with us, so it's really a trio most of the time, but sometimes it's really a duo, so, well, what do you say? Plus, I'd tell people "yeah, I'm in a band" and they'd say, "oh, what's it called?" and I'd stammer, "uh, we don't really have a, we're just, me and the other guy." Then they'd say "ah..." and move on.

Anyway, now we have a name, Altamont Pass, and a web site, altamontpass.net. Awesome! There's not much there yet (audio is coming soon), but there are photos of Russell smiling and me possibly suffering a migraine. And stuff about our October shows, including the one at which Colin Carthen has graciously agreed to open for us. Something to look forward to.

Altamont Pass is also the name of a place Russell and I like, which looks something like this or like this or like this.
