PLAY ME, I’M YOURS

March 30th, 2011

The outdoor piano project, Play Me I’m Yours, has lived in over 400 cities around the world since 2008.. and AUSTIN IS OFFICIALLY ON THE LIST! The first piano arrived this week on the pedestrian bridge over Lady Bird Lake – followed by 14 more pianos to be placed around the city. We only have a month to interact with these installations, so make sure to go find them and take videos & pictures to post in its legacy with its gone.

KVUE News did a short story on this latest musical project, which you can watch HERE. Keep an eye out for the very cute jack levy on showing off his piano skillz !

the dirty river boys

November 17th, 2010

Few bands can proudly claim to have recorded their first album acoustically. For a band to do so with success, they would need raw-vintage talent, a ballsy temperament and just the right amount of dirty faith. Throws these together along with a lively rock show and you get The Dirty River Boys.

This is a brand new design we just printed for the boys.
