Deep Cricket Night
Deep Cricket Night is a four cornered, pearly moonlight serenade unfurled headlong into dawn with Beggar’s Banquet in your ride, Townes Van Zandt at your side, and an original melodic moan comprised of Lance Drake (gtr/vocals), Joey Werner (drums/percussion/ vocals), Heather Scott (violin/ vocals), Jaime Delgadillo (lead guitar/dobo), Greg MacAyeal (bass), and Seaghan Brien (drums).
Musically, they build their unique electric-acoustic sound with an instrumentation highlighted by the melodic violin of Heather Scott, lead guitar playing of Jaime Delgadillo, bassist Greg MacAyeal, multi-rhythmic percussion of Joey Werner, and the lead vocal-lyrical strength of the band's primary songwriter, Lance Drake. Deep Cricket Night mixes indie rock, alt country, dark folk, and Americana into a cohesive style all their own.

Stumble here is the demo I made of the song in my home studio, pre presenting it to the band, late summer 2004.
Lake Pontchartrain was recorded live at Martyr\'s, sometime in spring 2005. I originally wrote this song right before PJ moved to New Orleans and performed it there for the very first time solo in 2001 or 2002..?
Someone Elses\'s Skin was a staple in the early sets of the original line up. This demo was recorded in fall 2004.
