Hello. Wanted to take a minute to talk about some sweet happenings that went on Monday night. Dave's best friend Sam and Sam's girlfriend Brigid came to visit us. They stayed from Saturday to Tuesday. Sam and Dave were Compost Shark, the southern Maine folk-punk duo. They wrote lots of songs, recorded, played shows. They disbanded in 2002 due to living in different places for college but still made music when they could. This summer they are working long distance on a new album of old and new songs. They played 8 songs at the Raven's Nest open mic night on Monday, including Shirty, Celia, Kathleen and more. It rokked hard. There was some talk of renaming the band The Manatees, but I'm not so sure that will happen, as there are already 3 or 4 other bands named The Manatees. Maybe The Man-O-Teas? The Man-Uh-Tease? Who knows. Here are some pictures and a video of their classic tune, Kathleen. Enjoy.
