Caught my inspiring friends in Ripe last night at the Basement East. Their music’s really very extremely good and you should check it out.

Ripe’s starting to come up - it’s their first tour taking out lights, they’ve added crew, and the fifteen passenger’s been retired in favor of a majestic, only moderately befouled Sprinter. Their guitar player Tory put it well - we’re not talking about if anymore, we’re talking about when.

I remember those days with Al and the guys, and I’m excited to get back out there.
