Listenings and viewings

Listen in as Ayla sits down with Michael Leahy for the KDVS Cool As Folk show, performing "Lily Moon," "Mama," and more from her new album Floating Felt (plus "Swirl Me In Your Mind" and another oldie). Ayla's interview starts ~40 minutes in. Hear it all here.

And thanks to everyone who came to the last Dapper Bay Bootleggers show, dressed in dapper attire, drank tea, and sang along so beautifully -- it was a truly wonderful experience getting to play for you all, we're honored your voices will be on the recordings.
Enjoy this video of "Don't Let it Pass You By" from the first Dapper show:

Album Release imagery

We want to thank everyone who came to our new-album-celebration shows, and a massive thank you to the Wonder Continental Shadow Teatro! who brilliantly illustrated each song in such beauty we hadn't even imagined. Ah!

and England is humming...

~ Beatbeat Whisper is traveling across the great sea and playing our songs yonder

to England
to Ireland
to Scotland
and Amsterdam
the Netherlands

and thereabouts, when the tide takes us (Summer?).

so we are collecting and connecting ideas and wondering...

are you from any of these places?
do you book shows in any of these places?
do you know someone who books shows in these places?
would you like to help us get our music to these places?


cause it is going to happen, and we can't do it alone

New podcasts posted

~ We sat down with Ben and Christian for episode 99 of The Bay Bridged podcast a short while back. It was so fun that about half the show was edited because everyone was laughing. Those are the mistakes we love. We also played some songs, such as "Swell & Still" and "I Think It Might Rain"
enjoy!

~ Pacific Noise asked us to play a few tunes, and to talk about the Digital Cloud compilation -- you can see the show here:
