Introducing...Beth Howser!
We've been selling a demo EP at our shows until we get the real-deal CD finished (probably August). We also sent some copies to a few radio stations, and damn if people didn't actually play some songs. Like, on the air and shit! DJ Joe Sixpack also gave a nice
review of it, and spilled the beans about Kate's alter-ego, "Beth.":
"Nice, down-to-earth, twangy alt-country with a bluegrassy feel, sort of like Jim & Jennie or Freakwater--a little more settled-down and conventional, but no less enthusiastic or lively. Nice set of original tunes, mostly written by San Francisco-based singer-guitarist Beth Howser, kicking off with a catchy honkytonk/old-timey ditty, "Who's Gonna Pour My Whiskey When You're Gone?" that sets a great pace for the rest of the record. Good, solid band with a nice grasp of country music's soulful, non-novelty side... I'm always in favor of folks who take it seriously and get things right. Lookin' forward to more from these folks!"
