The Trouble with Sweeney : Fishtown Briefcase was #12 most added on CMJ with 33 stations adding the release. Keep listening to your local CMJ station for the summertime sound of the sweeney. I got to see Joey and Charlie play at Pianos in NYC on Sunday. Joey played some Trouble with Sweeney material, a Springsteen cover, and a few of his own songs. He’ll be opening up for Hayden in Philadelphia on Thursday, maybe I’ll see you there. Incidentally, their website is fresh and new up here. I also saw Unwed Sailor play in Wilkes-Barre. They stayed at my house so they could be closer to some guitar shops. Anyhow, the set is a little more aggressive with two guitarists this time around. See them on the tour to hear all of your Marionette favorites played as a new version. :::scott:::
