DASH! feat. WWJDub? LIVE @ HUSH

dashwwjddvdart

Our friends at Magic Goat Music in Salt Lake City have released the DASH!/WWJDub? show as part of their "Digital Magic Series". The show happened back on November 21 of 2008 in Portland, Ore and was recorded and engineered by Neil Blake (whom I'd like to give appreciation to for beautifully capturing this event). It's one track, 40 minutes long, mixed by Tony Ortega, and is available for free download here.

Tony and I are working a DVD-r(elease) of the show and have spent a great deal time figuring out the details. Should be done and available in the shop within the next week.
