Last night I had a dream that Mark (the Yellow Dress’ drummer extraordinaire) called me to let me know that I was losing my job at Dog Eared Books. Somehow this turned into a desperate attempt to get to a Sam Goody style record shop to buy a copy of Lil Wayne’s Tha Carter III (it was on a listening station and available for a mere 6 dollars! what a deal!).

exciting things are happening
We here at the Yellow Dress have been keeping busy, and will welcome in the month of march in style (fun fact: on non-leap years the day distribution in February and March are identical).
Tuesday March 3 we’ll be playing a benefit show for SFAI’s fledgling radio station 102.5 The Tower at El Rincon. This show is going to be amazing, complete with special guests and dinosaurs. Also on...

another show update
the Queen’s Nails Annex show has been pushed back a few weeks, making February busy far beyond what would make sense for such a short month; however(!), if you want to see us play this week you still have a chance as we’ll be playing the beer drinkin acoustic show at the Hotel Utah. JJ Schultz puts this event together every month and it is entirely awesome. Would I recommend coming...

demos! →
over the last few months we’ve done a good deal of polishing and evolving our sound. As such, we thought this might be a good time to post our early ep of demos here for the taking. Some of these songs we haven’t played in some time, others have changed quite a bit from when it was just Jon on his guitar and occasional bass and Dan on the ukulele. We hope you enjoy them. (note: to...
