We're on film

Hey kids,

If you haven't checked out our myspace in a while, we've made a few upgrades. The most important of these is the video we made with my step bro Eliot. He also took that shot of us right on the top (of the myspace... the lovely Charlotte Kesl shot the one up top here). He's legit. Here's another one that he shot.





The video for Morrissey Smiling can be seen on our myspace (and it does look nice there), but why not post it here too, eh?



Frau Eva - "Morrissey Smiling" from eliot brasseaux on Vimeo.



We shot this in my parents back yard when we were on tour. I love those cane fields... This is part 1 of 2, so be on the look out for a similar version of Don't Wait For Me.


****************

In unrelated news, the Girls video that Chris told us about last week has been released. It is pretty awesome! Check it out.

Partying with Girls - It's not cheating...

Well, Davey and I try to just chill and take a break while Pree is on tour, but we always end up getting into crazy situations (we should have a sitcom?)...

Last night we went to 9:30 club to see Girls, The Smith Westerns, and headliners Los Campesinos. The first two were great. I had to walk out on the LC. They were killing my buzz from the first two bands...

Anyway, we ended up talking to Girls after the show... yada yada yada... we find ourselves chilling on my roof with the dudes from Girls and the young (and talented) lads of The Smith Westerns listening to 80's metal casettes on the Girls drummer's boom box deep into the night.

It was a good Wednesday night to say the least, although I doubt it compares to this one:



Amazing video from this great band. Be on the lookout for their upcoming video for Lust For Life. Chris says its way better than this video, if you can believe it. Can't wait to hear their album.

tour pictures!

Hello folks from Burlington, VT. I'm here on non-Frau Eva business, but the blog fans still want to keep tabs on my life, eh?
We're here in this great cafe called Radio Bean. We play in about an hour, and pretty cool band is playing right now. This city is really beautiful- and Lake Champlain- I had no idea.

Anywaaay... I've been meaning to do this for a while: the digital pictures I took on our tour can be seen here. You don't have to belong to facebook to view them. Enjoy!

Memory Lane


Well, Vanessa is on tour with Pree right now, and Davey and I are missing her... (We miss May and Chris too) We are staying busy jamming with friends, working on new songs, and procrastinating at our day jobs. Here's a pic we took while we were on tour. You can't really see it, but we were at the Nantahala river in North Carolina. This is where I was hired as a raft guide several years ago before going over to the Chattooga River in SC. I have so many memories in and around this river, and I loved stopping here with Dave and Vanessa.

This was on our drive from Asheville to Jackson. We would not have been able to stop here if our camp show hadn't been cancelled... Thanks Swine Flu!

Be on the look out for Frau Eva in video form!
