Trick

Year of Queens. Day 80. This is the equation that we hope works: Good songs + Kevin Moloney producing + good reviews = ???? A label? Playing at festivals? Playing fun stages? A mini tour? At this moment I find myself asking - why do I want these things? Because I do want these things. And what does this all mean?

Year of Queens. Day 81. Dark City Kings is on the latest episode of @electralandproductions - Electraland Radio! Electra Posada is a great friend and great friend to underground music and a total badass.

Year of Queens. Day 82. I just like this photo of Mike Anderson. And here’s a moment of introspection. Music? You write something with a group of friends - in an old homestead on a dirt road up in the mountains - and then for some reason there’s this urge to show it to other people? To record it? To set up a show and play it live? To hear it on the radio? A moment of introspection. Why does this make us feel so alive?

Year of Queens. Day 83. Thanks to @bootsyhambone and the Basement Tapes Show for playing Dark City Kings. There’s a wonderful world of wonderful underground radio stations playing wonderful underground music. We love interacting with them.

Year of Queens. Day 84. Thanks to @belterradio7595 and @djjencat for playing Dark City Kings. Underground supporting underground supporting underground.

Year of Queens. Day 85. The trick in life is to have one foot in the real world and one foot in the magic world. At least one foot in the world of melody and poetry and dancing and singing….

Year of Queens. Day 88. It has been an interesting summer. On the outside it seems like stop/go and stop/go. On the inside it feels like we are slowly creating an unstoppable song book.

Year of Queens. Day 89. Sometimes we lean toward more traditional songs. Sometimes we move toward more ArtPop.

Year of Queens. Day 90. Sometimes it’s just time to smoke a pipe in your truck.
