Boston – You Can Be a Wesley.
It’s not that often I can listen over and over to a cd but since we left Boston I’ve been jamming this cd non stop. It’s not brash rather with a sea and cake feel mixed texas is the reason meets far, You Can Be A Wesley brings your senses a piece of the harsh winter and the quintessential change of affect from Boston to your mp3 player. Enjoy these few tracks and buy their album.

I found out about the above band from this crazy guy Nick and he actually took the above picture too. In fact if you take a look at his website, you’ll see a few designed works for You Can Be A Wesley. In addition to being a skilled designer and photographer, he also has a company called Jetty the he helps run. Myspace Jetty: Website. This was taken from their site:
Jetty is a grassroots effort with a special touch of New Jersey garage must & dust. We design and print our own apparel, find ways to innovate, learn from our mistakes, sweat, surf, skate, dance, party and listen to a lot of music. We draw the majority of our inspiration from the people around us.
He also does video work:

Big ups to Max who put us up at his humble dwelling. He says if you ever want a place to party, whether it be attending or throwing you should hit him up. He and his roommates have a very pleasant house that use to be a grocery store. This is what it looks like outside without the foot of snow:
The inside is homely with local pittsburgh artists turned austin resident Sayer for Mayor:
