Luna's Cafe
1414 - 16th St.
Sacramento, CA (916) 441.3931

Opened for ... Jason Mraz! What, Again?! Yes, in Sacramento. Dig it! At this show Xeno discovered the Luna's lemonade and the turkey pesto sandwich before the gig. There was a car crash outside while Jason was playing, but no one was hurt. Jason was, as always, inspiring and the audience was justifiably in awe. We sold many CDs! (click to enlarge pics.)

The Parkside
1600 - 17th
San Francisco CA
(415) 503.0393

Opened for the amazing Jason Mraz! Made new friends and Xeno discovered that the crepes in this place are excellent. Nick joined us on drums and set up outside the club while people were eating. (It is a well known fact that drumming helps speed the human digestive process.) During the Mraz show, Xeno did a back flip onto the stage and took Jason's guitar, secretly replacing it with his own 12-string guitar! The results: Mraz sounded just as sweet. Meanwhile, in private, out in the back by the Tiki, there were some unmentionable goings on... (click to enlarge)

True Love Coffee House

We opened for Jason Mraz and Anton Barbeau. What can we say? This: Jason and Toca are most inspiring! The full house got quite a show. We sold all of the CDs we had. Xeno had fun in the wee hours of the morning playing some electric lead guitar and singing with Anton. The waffle king did his thing, and anton shot laser beams out of his eyes when no one was looking.

UC Davis Segundo Dining Commons

Here's A MAP of the location on campus. This was a fun show. We gave away several CD's and had a good time. Memorable moments: The bee that tried to land on Hence's flickering tongue. I laughed so hard I messed up my guitar part. Amy's tiger shirt (see pic), watermellon writing ( well, I'd never seen it before), and the corn cob dancer(s) (see pic) who were having so much fun they had to have an encore. Special thanks to Broeck Jones for lending us a capo. We hope you enjoy the free CD! As I was leaving, some happy volleyball players wanted some pics. Here they are, sorry they're a bit blurry.
