I Love the Mutts

Hellloooo internet land!

It's been a while! We've been busy playing shows and festivals and interviews, mixing our record, having bonfires, listening to Radiohead, packing and moving boxes and shelves, walking dogs, painting.. things like that.

This weekend Dan was out of town which meant I had a Friday and Saturday night to myself with no Dead Horses! (Although Pete and I did play a pretty fun wedding yesterday.)

What do normal people do on weekend nights?

Seriously?

Friday night I was pleased to find a show with two of my favorite local bands at Mill Creek in Appleton... the Mutts and the Traveling Suitcase.

The Mutts are a three piece from Chicago. Keys, drums, and bass. I first saw them over a year ago in Oshkosh. It was a small crowd that night.. yet the show was one of my most fun live show experiences. It felt tribal, it felt raw and real, honest- by the end of the night everyone was dancing all around the room. Friday night in Appleton was really incredible as well. The Mutts have a hell of a lot of heart- a sense of brother-ness radiated from the stage. Good song writing- good energy.They have a tight sound that gets me going, reminds me of things that I love so much about music.

Things like...

1.) You can always learn more
2.) Music is the teacher
3.) Music is anything you want it to be.
4.) Music is vibrations and energy
5.) Music connects all things
6.) You can play a song 23048209384092384093284 times and every time it is different
7.) Music is art
8.) Above all, the most important thing is HEART
