winthorp

hi everyone…

if you haven’t noticed (and you’re here, so you have), we have a new website. it’s been really fun going through the “archives” and getting stuff posted. we are still getting things online so thanks for being patient.

also…

thanks for all of the really kind emails and messages. it’s nice to know we have friends!

and…

someone pointed out we didn’t really have a way to download our songs, so now there’s a way to do that.

finally…

new winthorp coming soon…two hours of sonic insanity recorded in a friendly forest in nashville last march.

april seems to be the month for winthorp

maybe it’s because spring is finally in the air, most likely it’s just coincidence.

tonight was especially fun. winthorp was: carl broemel (guitars), bo koster (keys), richard medek (drums), and teddy morgan (guitars). bo is a lot of fun to play with, the keys add an entirely new texture and he isn’t afraid to help destroy all sorts of music.

we had the very special honor of having jimmy carr with us tonight playing electric vibes. the sound in the studio is sort of loud and it was tough to hear him but it made for more surprises when we listened to the playback. jimmy fit right in and it sounded something like this.

tonight was fun

I guess this is what you would consider our first real “winthorp” although technically we’re calling it #4. the lineup: carl broemel (guitars), ken coomer (drums), teddy morgan (guitars), richard medek (drums).

there’s something about two drummers and two guitar players that is pretty frightening or awesome, not sure yet:

as usual we don’t have names for these yet but if you’ve got an idea let us know.

here are a few more pre-thorp moments

teddy morgan on guitar and richard medek on drums, with a couple of overdubs added. these are closer to demos than anything else but it’s still fun to listen. we’ve never been good at naming these things…we appreciate any suggestions.
