Our stage was in Woodland Park. This was around mile 22 of a 26 mile run. The runners passed by us twice after making a loop under the trees in the park. We had a few who stopped to dance a little (after running twenty two miles!! dancing probably felt like a wonderful thing to do for those legs!) - many who thanked us for being there to support them with the 'beats', one fella who was JUGGLING as he ran! and some who pulled over to do some stretching! We were inspired by each that passed by - they were digging deep and were wonderful examples of the resiliency of the human body. <strong>Congratulations to all who participated! </strong></p>

<p><span style="color:#1abc9c;"><strong><span class="font_regular">Hello Everyone!</span></strong></span></p>
<p><span class="font_regular">Hints of spring are showing up here in the NorthWest. Buds on the trees and the sounds of baseball on the radio and TV. In no time it will be summer and we will be on our 2018 tour! <strong>But.... Before then...</strong></span></p>
<p><span class="font_regular"><strong>We are finishing our new album set to release this summer</strong>. Compared to our prior releases (2013 & 2016), this will be a bit different. With 10 songs, there will be 2 sections to this album. The first half will be more like how people know us when they hear us live. Vocals, Guitar, & Cajon. With a little add here and there. The second half will have more production, instrumentation, soundscapes, & experimentation. </span></p>

<p>We are also beginning to focus on<span style="color:#c0392b;"><strong> our next full length album to be released in 2018.</strong></span> We've begun the process of laying down the skeleton tracks. This is a fun process for us and always exciting to see how the songs tell us how they want to come to life. </p>
<p>Throwback: When we recorded our first self-titled CD in 2013 with Jay Pinto - he said to us: "you guys could do this" - referring to the recording process. We jumped in with four feet and have not looked back! -- Thanks, Jay for that!</p>

<p>This was taken at Crazy Horse Monument in South Dakota, USA. Interesting tidbit.. To the left of his face is a large open space where his hair will be carved. All four heads at the Mount Rushmore monument would fit into that space! Crazy Horse's face is 90 feet tall. This monument receives no federal or state funding.</p>

Prior to this, life took us in other directions away from being able to have the time to play out live. So we were really excited to get back out. When we were done, Mary and I felt that it was a pretty good set. Found out later that Jay Pinto had recorded the songs and so we were happy to get the raw tracks sent to us.<br><br>9 days later we were releasing our 2nd EP "Purgatory Street", so our attentions went to promoting that and continuing on with our summer tour. These live songs stayed simmering on the back burner until New Years 2017. Pulled them out and mixed/mastered them in our RFQ 6around1 Studios and released them between our studio singles "Heal Your Ways" & "Someday Fade"... Enjoy!<br><br><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/74243/04561341705a908c544e5cd8baa852a636dc426d/medium/live-black-dog-cover-1-30-17.png?1485835243" class="size_m justify_left border_" /></p>Released From Quiettag:releasedfromquiet.com,2005:Post/41397022016-04-16T14:11:17-07:002018-05-18T01:58:22-07:00My birthday story for you... "Heal Your Ways" - 4/16/2016<p>This is my birthday story for you. This year, Tumbleweed Festival has a songwriting contest around the theme "Come Together". We wanted to have a song for this and so we were writing while we are on the road on our other job. The song had to be received by April 16th... my birthday! </p>
<p>Completed the song on April 13th & did not feel comfortable recording in a motel room with the sounds of my voice bellowing the halls... especially when you have headphones on and all they could hear is my singing with no musical or rhythmic context... </p>
<p>So taking a break from work, I went in our car that was parked in the empty part of a mall parking lot.... Laid down the guitar track, then did the vocals, the texted Mary to take a quick break to come out and lay down the percussion track.... Mary grabbed our cardboard box that carries our ionizer and used that to lay down the groove... Did a couple takes and she went back to work... I edited, mixed, and mastered the track with 90 minutes to get to the Post Office. If I did not make it, it would not be delivered in time with 2 Day Express... </p>
<p>Love technology today where we can literally record songs with this kind of quality in a car parked in a parking lot.... oh and it was raining too! If you listen carefully, you can hear rain hitting the car roof at times smile emoticon </p>
<p>Enjoy our new song called "Heal Your Ways"..... studio version will follow later this summer</p>4:01Released From Quiettag:releasedfromquiet.com,2005:Post/41204232016-04-04T17:04:04-07:002018-05-18T01:58:38-07:00More RFQ releases coming this summer! - 4/4/2016<p>RFQ has found a new love! The love of recording and creating textural soundscapes in the studio. In 2013, we released our debut EP "Released From Quiet" that we recorded, Jay Pinto mixed, and mastered by RFI in Seattle. Our next studio release just happened Jan 29, 2016 with "Purgatory Street" where we took the next step and recorded and mixed ourselves and mastered by RFI. <br><br>We are taking our studio experience and ramping it up. It is a time consuming (but enjoyable) experience recording an EP and the releases can be years apart. So many new songs are being composed and want to be recorded. The idea came to us to start releasing digital singles every couple months so we can stay fresh in the studio and fresh in your minds and ears. <br><br>Our first of many digital singles will release this May 1st. It's called "Stormacomin". It's big, it's powerful, it's our anti-establishment song... Stay tuned :)</p>Released From Quiettag:releasedfromquiet.com,2005:Post/40702622016-03-02T16:37:00-08:002018-05-18T01:58:52-07:00Purgatory Street - Hits the street! - 3/2/2016<p>Our second studio EP is now available! right here on our <a contents="MUSIC" data-link-label="Music" data-link-type="page" href="/music" target="_blank">MUSIC</a> page.

The BDAC's new Monitors! - 12/16/2013<p>A BIG THANK YOU! .. to all who gave, shared, talked up the campaign to raise funds for the Black Dog Arts Coalition in Snoqualmie, WA. The campaign was successful in raising enough funds to purchase two new Mackie Thump stage monitors and the necessary cables, etc. to bring a great full sound to the Black Dog stage! Generous donations were received from as far away as Michigan! and from many local area arts supporters. The monitors have been in use for a few weeks and the sound at "The Dog" has never been better. As has been said: "many hands make light work" ~ our coupla sets of hands are coming together in applause for all of YOU!</p>Released From Quiettag:releasedfromquiet.com,2005:Post/19879132013-11-04T19:05:14-08:002018-05-18T02:00:13-07:00Help the Black Dog Arts Coalition raise money for monitors for their stage - 11/4/2013<p>We are working with the<strong> non-profit Black Dog Arts Coalition </strong><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><strong>to</strong> raise money for 2 Mackie Thump 12A monitors for their stage. We have started an IndieGoGo campaign that goes through Nov. 17th. The BDAC gives the Snoqualmie area and musicians far and wide, a wonderful place to play and listen to live music. Having shows every Friday & Saturday and a well attended weekly open mic every Wednesday. One thing they are lacking in are a pair of monitors. This will enhance the overall musical experience. When the musicians can hear themselves better, the listening experience is heightened. </span><br style="padding: 0px; margin: 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><br style="padding: 0px; margin: 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">The BDAC has given so much to the Snoqualmie and music community, will you please consider making a donation?
