Man oh man

Man oh man. L-tryptophan is a beyotch, no? Between the turkey, trimmings, and the new job, your webmaster done nothing the past few weeks besides eat, sleep, and study, with no in between. Until today that is, when Ken Bethea was nice enough to suggest that I... uhm... get off my butt and get some tour dates posted! And he's right. So, are you looking for some New Years festivities? Well here you go: The Old 97's are blowing the lid off Austin's La Zona Rosa on December 29th and then return to Dallas' Gypsy Tea Room on December 30.

The 97s have three city five gig west

Jefe2005-10-10T12:04:00-05:00

The the 97's have a three city, five-gig, West Coast mini-tour lined up for November. Do you have your tickets yet? And certainly you've picked up Alive & Wired by now? If not, here's what you're missing.At a recent solo show, Rhett let slip that his upcoming solo-album is titled The Believer, and that it's due for a February, 2006 release. Long-time fans of Rhett and Ranchero Brothers live shows will recognize one of the songs on Rhett's new album as a long-time classic-in-waiting, called "Firefly." On The Believer, you'll hear sung it as a duet with Rachel Yamagata. Oddly

I know, I know, I know. It's been too long. Unfortunately, the airline bidness has been nasty to your webmaster the past couple of weeks - mainly his job went away, and he's been out looking for another. That's the reason this is showing up so late, but it's especially for you SoCal folks, it's something you don't want to miss: a wonderful evening of music, providing relief from Burbank to the Bayou. Here's Murry:It's a benefit for Katrina, Rita and a couple of home organizations that Grey and I are doing. Going to be a regular gig - a

So yeah im late

Jefe2005-07-05T15:28:00-05:00

So yeah, I'm late. Can I make it up to you with the biggest update in months? Thanks, that's nice of you. Can I touch you there? OK, sorry. On with the news then. See one of the reasons I'm late is that in the never-ending quest to provide you only with quality Old 97's news you can use, I usually don't just make stuff up. Usually. And this is one of those times; as when I heard the following tidbits, I had to wait for confirmation from the guys.So whadya want first, the good news or the bad news?

It turned into something of an endurance contest for both band
