I was out last night trying to record some beavers with their tail slap actions, A peaceful place out in the woods with ponds and marshes then all of a sudden, Bang goes the sound of a gun, Bang went another shot. The sound resonated through the air and then Bang came this Almighty explosion. All the time i'm monitoring this through my headphones. A red winged blackbird sent out its alarm call and all went deadly quiet. This is a section of that 1 hour recording.

RainDog - Window

RainDog formed in February 2010 and right from the start knew they had something special. With a strict practice schedual and great musicianship they quickley recorded the home demos which we piled into what is now know as the Modern/Reverb ep. RainDog is somewhat of a super-group from the Ceres/Modesto central valley music scene (Grandaddy, Medusas, French Cassettes). With members hailing from acts such as A La Lune, and Skitz.
