Hey folks,

Great things are going down at Tumbledown Headquarters.. Firstly, we moved our base of operations to the Ross Peak Ranch, where a young Gillian Howe blossomed into the fiery vixen that we all see before us today. We will be staying at the Howe residence until we pack up and leave for our tour in September, helping out on the ranch, drinking gin and tonics on the porch, and cursing at broken farm equipment.

With the help of Ink Outside the Box, we've just finished our new sign! That's right folks, we now have a massive wooden edifice to place before us to represent our broken-down and dysfunctional glory! Staying true to Tumbledown nature, the sign is heavy, difficult to manage, and will probably rip even the most sturdy nail out of the wall from which it is hung. Thanks to all who helped with creative input. Here's a pic:


In preparation for our upcoming tour, we just purchased a van which will hopefully prove itself to be comfy, reliable, and roadworthy. I'll be flying out to Detroit to pick it up on Wednesday, and will most likely make poor and unsafe decisions about how quickly I can make it back to Bozeman. It is likely that our gig at the Baxter wine bar on Friday, August 28th, will have to be rescheduled for Saturday, August 29th.

Finally, Tumbledown House was just featured in this weeks entertainment section of The Bozeman Chronicle, you can read the article (without all of the awesome pictures) here. Thanks to Rachel Hergett for finding us newsworthy and Bayard for his photo work.

Thanks for reading!

Cheers,
TR

That's right folks.. This week, due to some unforeseen (or possibly foreseen and forgotten) events, this Friday's regularly scheduled gig at the Baxter Wine Bar will be rescheduled to Saturday night. The time slot remains the same, 8:30 to 11.

After this week, we will be back to our normal night, and will continue playing every Friday until we embark on our tour in mid September.

The gig has been awesome. Last week there were some drunk retirees attempting to ballroom dance. The Bacchus is now serving food and we've finally finished the race track song so come on out and boogie with us.

Cheers,
Tyler
