We like exploring LA county to find great places either to perform or as potential photo shoot opportunities.  Here are a couple pictures we took from places you wouldn't expect to find in Los Angeles.  Really rustic and vintage! 

Happy Autumn!

We are busy recording our second album - an EP.  For those of you who are unfamiliar, an EP has only 5 songs where a full album has 10 songs.  We are really excited about this new EP because it is going to contain some of our favorite songs that we love to play.

We are going to be releasing it in the spring of 2012 so keep checking up on us.

Cheers!

And since I know most people like to view photos rather than read words, here is a completely unrelated photo of a lovely dachshund that jane loves.

it has been a year since our self produced album came out on itunes. we can't believe it has already been a year! thank you so much for those who have supported us this year by coming out to our shows, buying our music, and wearing our merch. we are planning winter things and hope to have some new things for you!

we have been on a health kick since a hospital scare last week. it's hard to believe that we actually have to be healthy now. especially jane. man, she is the worst. eating mcdonalds, chocolate, yogurtland, and cakes all the time. and she doesnt even like frozen yogurt that much- it was the hello kitty branding that hooked her in. well, now we both have really been on a 180 turn. fish, salad, fruit, water! eck.

jane has also become a true david boreanz fan. "bones" is her favorite show and now she has borrowed "buffy the vampire slayer" seasons 1 and 2 from the library. she is hooked. but it may be the demise of the band aaron & jane because aaron will not tolerate associating with any person who chooses willingly to watch "buffy the vampire slayer". this is why jane hides her buffy rentals whenever aaron comes over and remembers to steer clear of any conversations that revolve around vampires, buffy, and twilight.

Here is a sneak peek at our give-a-away for our hotel cafe show!  

Although this photo is a bit blurry, this is a picture of jane's latest creation - not for sale (yet) but if people like it, she can try to create a similar one (with less pink of course! :) for sale.  It is a jumbo paper clip.

Much of aaron's artistic designs are seen through our facebook page or our merchandise.  paper crafts is more jane's area of expertise. our styles are similar as you can see, with a large focus on birds and foliage.  

Interview with NWCZ radio in Seattle.

I wish we were better about posting photos along with our blogs, but that will have to be improved hopefully in the fall!

We have an interview with Greg Roth from Seattle Music Insider that will be on tonight, Thursday at 6pm. go to http://nwczradio.com/   Here is more about the Northwest Independent Music Site  http://seattlemusicinsider.com/

We really enjoyed meeting Greg when we were up in Seattle a month ago and it was a lot of fun to do the interview.  Hopefully you can listen in!

Our hotel cafe debut is coming up in a few weeks and we are so excited.  We have postcards available and have it designed by forest schroeder, a buddy we met along our tour this summer.  During our road trip we took a rest stop at this small town in Oregon and happened upon this really cool looking old skool bowling alley.  Forest was there and as we were the only customers, he took us back to show us how a bowling alley works.  He also showed us some of his artwork which were amazing.

It's so cool how no matter where you are at, no matter how small the town, there is always talent everywhere and expressions of art in every nook and cranny of the world!

We asked him later, if he would like to design something for our hotel cafe show.  The postcard is a result of his beautiful pencil drawings.



Aaron really likes to watch SouthPark. Anyways, there is one South Park episode called "Man Bear Pig" that Aaron made Jane watch. It is basically about a creature named Man Bear Pig (and Al Gore). In the episode, it is described as half man, half bear, half pig.  Here, Jane interjects, "Oh, that is incorrect.  Man Bear Pig can't be half man, half bear, half pig because it is a creature that has three parts.  So it should be called a third man, a third bear, a third pig." Needless to say, after that comment Aaron ignored Jane for the rest of the day.  And unsurprisingly, Jane's favorite TV show is "Bones."

While driving on the 110 freeway... 

J - What is up with all this traffic!

A - Oh, I see some sirens ahead.  It's an accident. 

J - Look at all these rubberneckers.  Sheesh.  I can't believe how people cause traffic b... OMIGOODNESS!! LOOK AT THAT CAR!!! 

A - *shakes his head*

A - I made some delicious steaks. 

J - Oh yum.  I can't wait! They smell sooo good! Where's the rice?

A - RICE!? What do you mean rice? I told you we're eating steaks! 

Coming from an Asian background,  rice really is like water... it must come with every meal. It took some getting used to in terms of eating food together.  

A - I'm going to get some tacos.  You want some? 

J - Naw. it's cool. 

(later aaron is eating tacos)

J - hmmmm.... that looks really good.......*mouth waters*

A - I asked you if you wanted some and you said no. 

J - I know... (sadly)

A - Here, you can have my tacos.  (sadly)

TWO MONTHS LATER

A - I'm going to get some tacos.  You want some?

J - Naw.  it's cool. 

(later aaron is eating tacos)

J - mmmm.... that looks really good.... *mouth waters*

A - I asked you if you wanted some and you said no. 

J - I know... (sadly)

A - I knew you'd want some because this happens all the time.  So I bought you 4 tacos. 

J - Thanks Aaron! gobble gobble gobble
