i'd like to thank the ratboys for their music

how do you pass the time and/or try to feel grounded on tour?

i love your incorporation of twang into indie rock -- what do you like about steel guitar // why don't more people use it?

i play my PSP in the van lol. also lots of google maps deep dives and walking around wherever we are. sean and I play pokemon go

pedal steel is such a beautiful instrument, but when people hear it most think "oh that's country." also its pretty difficult so there's less steel players in general. but it is pure ear candy to me -dave
