    Where we play outside.  We’re taking theSC’s cookwares out of the studio for a big spring pot-luck, and we’re looking for more hands to turn up the heat ! — WaitWhat ? —  A dozen songs from our house repertoire, reworked for the stage, to be performed in front of a live audience, and captured…

    Yule Light

    Well, it’s been a minute… Summer was nice and busy, we’ve done quite a lot of back-of-house prep, wrote a bunch of songs and filled the deck with an ungodly amount of half-baked ones, plus quite a few new people (and some old friends) joined the circus.  Fall (and up to now) was spent digging…

    Spring Break

     …more like spring cleaning, really. Things are quite busy @LaBarne, and we’re prepping for the summer season, with live music finally back en force, because as much as we’re about writing and producing music, the itch to play live, and possibly beyond our basement dwelling is getting stronger.

    We need to talk about the ‘80s.  Some amongst us, including this BOH operator, grew up during the Thatcher/Reagan years (also Mitterrand’s, for frogs), that, in retrospect, made for a bizarre, childish, yet momentous decade through which every miracle and curse the 21st century would unleash upon the world incubated, largely unbeknownst to the pre-internet…

    First course, and yes, it’s all in Frogspeak…  Until someone gets around to do a proper translation, we’ll break down the lyrics, in case another someone cares to know what it’s all about.  Shakshuka, for those who’d have dodged the ’90s craze with serious fastbreaking, is a simple yet delicious dish made by poaching eggs…

    Episode Zero

    How we cookin’… Or how we failed to release on time, and luckily nobody cares.   How, then, did we manage to miss an imaginary  mark by a mile and half ?  Obviously, by setting for ourselves goals, as grownups and idiots alike are keen to do… We thought it quite clever, as grownups and idiots do,…
