August saw Big Mosey adventuring to Norway. What a beautiful country! We played in Oslo, the small rafting town of Sjoa, and Trondheim. Besides these excellent nights, we traveled around the country side with friends and new friends. If you are ever in the area, the folks over at the Student Society in Trondheim can celebrate an evening like you wouldn’t believe. [Click here for more photos]

Now we’re back in New York, getting ready for some local shows. The big show is Arlene’s Grocery on Thursday Sept 15th, with the whole schedule being:

Sept 10th, Sat: Branded Saloon in Brooklyn
Sept 15th, Thu: Arlene’s Grocery in Manhattan
Sept 24th, Sat: Local 269 in Manhattan

Lastly, we received a great review recently, real kind words:

“It is quite rare for me to write about an act that is unsigned. If I do, then I feel that it must be an act that I must share with you. This is Big Mosey…Get yourself signed, Big Mosey, because I want more of the same please.” -Joseph McLean, The True Joe 90 [Read the full review here: http://bit.ly/pqtI2T]

what an odd track – it’s so much fun but the lyrics are pretty dark…i mean how do they make a playful video for song about an angry kid who wants to shoot up his school? well clearly i’m into it…

“Jacob and crew meet those travails – from the pressures of day-to-day existence to the fragmented nature of modern society – head on.  Flanked by Jacob’s gravelly baritone, the group churns out gritty, feverish alt-rock stabs that summon backwoods Southern blues and dense slogging funk.

-Scott Gargan, Stamford Advocate, “Big Mosey’s Long Walk Back to Stamford”

through many Months of shows, emails, studios, Spontaneous Dance Parties, long drives, and Barefoot Winter Runs, i’ve been looking toward this moment. there is a Record, and it is Big Mosey’s first record. we’re calling it “Homeward At Daybreak” (and you can too).

we were aided by the masterful Jeremy Sklarsky (producer of the Freelance Whales album), as Matt, Tom, Dave, and I sculpted our favorite live tunes into Permanent Fixtures.

You can listen to all four tracks on facebook, and if you love it as much as we hope you will, please become a fan:

“Homeward At Daybreak” will be available for your ipods, cars, Lighthouses, and latenight gatherings by mid-February, and we will be hosting a slew of cd release Parties in New York, Boston, and Stamford (details to be announced soon).

be well and i’ll see you on the Outside.

WITH A SHORT TIME DELAY: i’m traveling by Bus down to DC for this Restoring Sanity/Fear Rally. i’ll be the man in full Hunter S Thompson Garb and Spirit, harassing the normies with Hallucinatory Banter, documenting the folks who are making sure this is the Low Water Mark of the American Dream.

but enough of this Talk – there is urgent news to discuss, the Baobabs name change in fact – no longer must you pretend to remember our hardly pronounceable Designation. now we go by BIG MOSEY – think bearded and barefoot Giants drifting across the open countrysidecal Landscape, planting their mountainous legs just over the Horizon.

this re-Introduction wouldn’t be complete without the fine Tidings of our new drummer, Dave Bucci. just arrived in town from Syracuse, he’s laying down the good grooves and helping us get this band in to full Avalanchemode. we’re all hanging out in a Brooklyn Basement Studio, working on our first record and harvesting the Tunes for our late Autumn public appearances: the NYC Marathon (Bedford/Nassau Corner), NYC’s Arlene’s Grocery (Nov 18th – http://facebook.com/event.php?eid=171794106169997) and Boston’s McGann’s Pub (Dec 10th).

be well and i’ll see you on the Outside.
