Happy Spring from GCO

Wassup Everyone!
GCO has started a blog. That's right, we're going to keep you up-to-date with the weekly goings-on in the life of a Newgrass Art-Rock band.

This is Lisi... I'm writing our first blog entry and you'll hear from the guys later on this month. I love that I'm sitting here writing this at 7:10 pm and it's still light out!! I'm definitely fond of light and heat! So, here's to spring and new endeavors!

Just yesterday, I had an interview with Jearlyn Steele on WCCO's "Center Stage". We'll post the interview when it's available. It went really well. Jearlyn was super cool and she asked some great questions. She also had a major thing for Mr. John Wright! That was pretty hilarious... "You're married to that fine bald man?!?". I sure am. He's definitely a stud! ;) It definitely made John feel good.

We're getting ready for the big DVD Release Concert this Saturday (at The Dakota - 8:00)!! Woohoo! It's going to feature all 5 of our short-films, both Gregg Allman's Liver commercials, outtakes and a mini-documentary on the making of "All Out of Peaches". Of course, you'll be able to see all of the behind the scenes jocularity between me and Mark. He's so mean to me! Does anyone else notice?

Can't wait to play Memo 9 again. I'm thinking that one is my fav from the new album. I like to tell myself that if Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson and Neil Peart heard that song they'd say, "That was pretty cool!" Then they'd ask us if we want to go out to a nice restaurant with them and eat really fancy food and drink expensive wine and then they'd say, "No, no, we'll pay for this." Just take it off the top, boys! Then, they'd ask us to open for them the next time they played the Twin Cities, but on one condition... only if the fiddle player agrees to come up and play YYZ and Losing It with them. Hey, a girl can dream.
Next step: How do I get Rush to listen to the new GCO album?!? Anyone?


That's it for now. John and I are headed off to our favorite Indian restaurant for a nice dinner. India Palace - Burnsville - check it out.
See you on Saturday, peeps!
Thanks so much for all the GCO support!
Lisi
