Creature Cast 010 with Esao Andrews (AUDIO ONLY)

Here is the audio only version of our chat with Esao Andrews! There are things discussed on the podcast that are visual and won't make that much sense but this is pretty minimal, Perhaps we will attempt to get some screen grabs to add here. 

Enjoy

'Slow Dance Angry Tears'

Greetings Creatures,

I was having a rough day and then had a bunch of kind people reach out to me, telling me they  were also having rough days and well long story short I somehow got to listening to a new song I wrote and it actually amazingly made me feel a bit better... which is sup...

My original instrumental demo for 'Most Dangerous Commercials'

When we were writing On Letting Go I went through some kind of manic period of creativity.  After almost 2 years of solid touring the band was living in our second house and in a down swing as far as our ability to communicate & write songs. I think now reflecting back on it we ...

Creature Cast 009

And we're back!

This episode is pretty great. I was sad because my samples weren't working so we improved a bunch of them via mouth. Brendan decided to look up each of our names on urban dictionary. We do our best to pick up where we left off from  the tour tales of Episode 8 but it's ...

Stare Like You'll Stay Safe Camp sesh.

During the track selection for Blue Sky Noise, the appendage EP found itself a pillow for many strong feelings to fall upon. There were simply too many songs that meant too much to the band for us to choose which ones would be left out. Often, we find ourselves in agreement on most tracks for an ...

Anthony Live Album Pre Release

Excited to release Would You Still Be Live - a collection of live recordings from my tour last fall. Feels like years ago at this point. All the love and credit to my band - Keith Goodwin, Tim Arnold & Anays Torres. They helped me reshape these songs to something so special and u...

Colin - Child Of The Desert - Pedal Cut

I thought it would be fun to share the video that is just the view of my pedal board as I went through the song for our recent Quarantine Session. (Child Of The Desert)

This is not the set up I use live (that one is a lot more streamlined) ,  there is a lot of stuff on this one for var...

Best Bass Slide Ever?

     Here is a little video I put together showing how silly things can get in the studio sometimes. Back when we were writing Blue Sky Noise, Colin and I had a little inside joke (maybe we still do) where we used to add slides to everything possible. Oh that riff is endi...

New Shirt!

Here we have an awesome new design by the awesome Wesley James, @woodencyclops on instagram. Wes was once the keyboardist of Portugal The Man before retiring big and focussing on visual arts.

I know Patreon has an option Polls but honestly it just doesn't work as well for this scenario and...

Heartbeats (The Knife Cover)

When I first started playing music in my small town in MD, I remember having a certain reserved disdain for cover bands. Making money from someone else’s music didn’t sit well with me. It seemed uninspired and lazy and I had apparently glossed over the heart of the idea, which was that p...

Creature Cast 008

and we're back again!

If these episodes had titles I think this one would be called " A musician always forgets." LOL

We talk about the first few tours of the band and a lot of the details remain... fuzzy.  See the attachment to understand the bootleg t-shirt we reference later i...

Sneak peak at some lyrics I’ve scribbled down for new ideas

The term chicken scratch is interesting because it started out in reference to music and the way it made people dance and leave a scribbles in the dirt and kick feet like a chicken. Communication has always been one of the biggest challenges for me, mostly because I have a hard time understandin...

Tunnel Vision Acoustic

Hey guys! Here is a quick acoustic version of tunnel vision. Special thanks to the boys for the puppet show!

New Creature Merch

Hi Everyone. Twenty years ago, (yeah that's right long before the inception of the creature club), My friend Ian and I entered a make your own t-shirt store in the sawgrass mall in Fort Lauderdale Florida. One of those spots where they have the iron and the letters and you can put whatever you wa...

Beards Badass Bass Breakdowns 3

Whats up guys! I'm back with another Bass Breakdown. This video is a tutorial on the song "We're All Thieves". This song was already partially written when I first joined the band, including the bass line for the verse which is the most interesting part of the song. I think Colin had written that...

Semi Constructive Criticism - Safe Camp Session

Thanks so much for being here, we love you.
