A Finn Miles First – House Show

Posted: June 7th, 2010 | Author: napkinsketch | Filed under: Uncategorized | Tags: , , , , , , | No Comments »

Last weekend we played our first house show, a smashing success! Thanks to the gracious hosts and audience the ‘vibe’ was really sweet and intimate. Despite a confounding rainstorm, we played inside rather than on the back porch, but the setting couldn’t have been better. Enjoy this clip of our lead off song “Winteresque” in the McCord’s living room – impromptu venue.


Finn Miles + Gracious Audience == Great time in Des Moines, IA

We pulled out the art supplies and before we knew it pipe cleaner art was everywhere! It turns out that the guys from Why Make Clocks are quite the artists (Pac Man, Star Wars, and other creative elements were bent and formulated by WMC). Also, if you haven’t heard Why Make Clocks plan an acoustic set you’re really missing out; their songs shine in an intimate setting like the Mars Cafe.

Also, congratulations to H. Dustin Harmsen of the Atudes on a wildly successful opening acoustic set, as well as the Atudes CD release…which is tonight!

Thanks Sam!

Thanks Sam!
