Hello hello.

Happy Spring to you.  We are very excited to be performing for you this Saturday night, May 22nd at the Doug Fir!  We will be joined by Portland’s uber cool Spy Island, and one of our favorite bands anywhere, (although specifically they are from Seattle) Slender Means.  It’s been a while since we have headlined our own hand-picked Doug Fir show, so we’ve planned to make this a special night.  For those of you who do not yet know, Derby has become a 5-piece.  We’ve added the fast fingers (along with the entire body) of Matt C. on keys, which has freed up Dave to become a full time Shredder. And yes, that is a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles reference.  One day I’ll find a way to work in Krang.  So come out and enjoy the new sophisticated sounds, along with two other fandamntastic bands. Spy Island will kick off the show, and Derby will headline.

We like to pack out the Doug Fir, so make it easy on yourself and buy tickets in advance. All of your friends are doing it.
