The end.



The Inkwell Collective will play their last gig on December 22nd, as an opening band for Something Phonic's reunion show. The line up for the show will be:

steev with guitars
jesse with guitars
scott with the bass
emily with the cello
jessica on piano
namiah playing drums

It should be a fun night--it will be an all-ages show, with alcohol available to those 21+. Other opening acts will include Sly Joe and the Smooth Operators and Jazz Orgy.

Our cds will be available that night--both Falling Signs and National Bellwether. So put it on your calendars. . .

The EP is in/out/round about

National Bellwether is finished, wrapped in plastic, and lined up orderly in a cardboard box. And sitting in my entryway next to the coat box. I hope to update the website soon with new content and offer the songs online through some method. . . If you really really want the record, please contact me, $10 will cover the cd and shipping (or come over to my house if you like to travel). I will be sending out copies to the other band members to use and abuse at their own discretion. So if you run into Scott, Emily, or Namiah, they will be happy to sell you a copy of the disc. We will try and do some kind of official cd release in Oshkosh this Fall. Also I hope to send copies of the disc to some of the college stations and blogs/zines that cover indie music. Otherwise, I'm currently working on songs for an Inkstained EP which should get underway recording in July. More information on that project will be forthcoming.

thanks for listening,

coffee+music

we are going to be a part of the Stone Creek Coffee Community+Music project. thanks to our friends over at WMSE who recommended us. . . the idea is that once a day the Stone Creek Coffee folks are going to be playing a compilation cd with a bunch of local bands on it--including ourselves, decibully, marcella, and burbank cartel. so if you're in one of the stone creek shops in bayview, shorewood, grand avenue, delafield, glendale, whitefish bay, delafield, or oconomowoc, you might just hear "moscow, idaho." in fact, we hope you do hear it. so that's one awesome thing that is happening. stay tuned for release dates of our ep and other stuff. if i can get the ftp server to work, i might just update the website, too!

National Bellwether EP

well, it's been nearly a year in coming, but the ep is almost finished now. i went down to milwaukee last week to drop off "the stuff" at sooper dooper's enchanting south east wisconsin location. they are printing up 100 of the little guys (or gals) and they should be floating around the outernet (i.e. the real world) and the internet (i.e. the "fake" or blogowhoric world) this summer. if you're lucky, you can buy one! if you're not lucky, then you will just have to burn someone's copy or put it on your ipod.

thanks for listening and waiting,

When does a side-project become the main project? And when does the band become the side-project? Evidently when I am somehow involved. Inkstained has yet another show--this time in Oshkosh at the New Moon and this time with Expatriate, Patchwork, Aaron Baer, and possibly one other band. That's a lot of song for one night!

Saturday March 24th
8pm
Folk-core extravaganza!
Noisy, quiet, vibrating strings, stomping feet, etc.
Bring your favorite hat!

@ the venerable New Moon on the corner of venerable Algoma and Main St.

hello invisible readers,

just to let you know that we have a video posted of ourselves playing a song on our myspace page. you can go there and watch the video. it was recorded at the new moon with me, jesse, scott, namiah, jessica, and emily all performing. it's kind of noisy and grainy. but there you have it--modern technology.

happy new year,
