We had a fun time at Thee Storky opening for @apprehenchmen and @bashfulbullband the other night. Into The Beat was one of the highlights. Here's a rough phone recording and video with a few small #glitches. Find this video and more doubleplus alrightness on YouTube for kicks.

A ridiculously fun double header this weekend. Grateful to @lowbote for arranging Saturday night's festivities and @affonsomanny and crew for Sunday's backyard festival. I'm very lucky to have some seriously musical people in my life.
Had wonderful moments with too many people to tag and mention in here, but it was great to connect this weekend. Thank you all for the hang out time.

We got a few kind words about the 2 minutes of music we recorded at our Oakland Music Complex HQ way back when.
buffaBLOG published a really cool write-up (thanks Chris! (no relation)).
"The band accomplishes more in two minutes than many manage to on an entire album." This one quote means the most to me because Doubleplus Alright's catalog is full of brief songs bursting at the seams with energy. We're aiming for this. Tap that link in the bio to read more....
"Big expansive blend of alt rock" - We All Want Someone To Shout For
"Enjoyably palpable momentum" - Obscure Sound
"Really well done" - John Wars
"Good interplay between strum and vocal" - Plainly and Painfully
"A driving beat" - Evan Kanter
"The vocals sounded great" - BIRP.FM
"Good rock energy" - GeekSmacked

I wrote a few words about the recordings that have been coming from Lee's Bang The Bay residencies at the @ivyroom and @fabmabsf (and previously @baltic_kiss ). It's been a real privilege to hear and mix so many good bands bring their best to the stage. Hundreds of bands. Hundreds of recordings. Link in bio to read and listen...

We have a single - one song: February Burn coming out on Tuesday 3/17. Keep your ears and eyes open, catch it if you can.
There will be a world-premier-sneak-peak on @thebeatofdiablo 7pm this Sunday (3/1), so check there if you can. We've reached out to a handful of radio DJs and stations to share a preview, so stay alert, there could be another. Dm me if you want to help us get the word out.
February Burn arrived during and was inspired by Chris' @songaday.february project and we've been playing it on rare occasions. This tune has all the hallmarks of Doubleplus Alright's best material: soaring melodies, crushing guitars, brevity that leaves you wanting more. You know, our hand-picked genres: #blitzpop #chugpop #spunk #higainpop
The cover art includes detail from a piece by @serseluigetti a renowned master of collage and mail art. There's a photo of the band playing @staygoldoakland shot by the incredible @pj.eye
We recorded this at our hq in OMC with Jackson, our previous drummer. We're happy to share this with you and we plan to follow up with more more more. We hope you dig it.
