One of our favorite records released over the last couple of years that we honestly don’t spend enough time with, is The Nationals “Alligator” released by Beggars Banquet in 2005 and judging by the photo placement that they received on-line via the Plug Awards of their live performance, a lot folks are paying attention to and liking what these guys are doing these days. “secret meeting”, “all the wine”, and “daughters of the soho riots” are standouts on the recording and showcase the versatility of the band.

Boxer is slated for release on May 22nd, with a tour falling into place around that time, while we’ll all be patiently awaiting The National coming to our town once again. Last time they came through Austin, the show sold out and we missed out. This will not happen again, and if you happen to be in the band and reading this, a spot on the guest list would be a great way for us to show up and show our support for the band, as well as get you guys a little coverage.
