This is the first installment in series I’ve begun of “Casual Covers” - songs written by friends and fellow Seattle songwriters. ‘Another Bottle’ is a song written by Texas native and current Seattle resident AP Dugas of The Ganges River Band. Tonight, I’ll be playing another one of his tunes during my set at The Fremont Abbey along with a mix of old and new songs of mine.
- June Gloom
The pacific northwest has this really great way of getting us all ready for summer: a one month gloomy rainstorm with some pockets of sunshine. With my new composing room all together, complete with a view of nothing but trees (in the heart of Ballard even!), I’ve been busily completing songs and getting concepts (sonically, lyrically) ready for our new album.
Within walking distance of our home is our new studio. It’s a place where we are free to make some noise in a windowless cave - the new home of Parlour Trick.
We’re stripping down our sound and building it back up and we can’t wait for you to hear it. For those of you in Seattle, you will have a chance to catch us premiering some new tunes next weekend:
First, we are thrilled at the invitation to play a sort of “amuse-bouche” set in the Bourbon Bar before the sold-out Lemolo album release show at Columbia City Theater on Friday, 6/29. Yes, it is sold out, but you can still join us in the Bourbon Bar for a little stripped-down version of our new sounds.
The next evening, Saturday June 30th, we’ll return to the Sunset (we love, love the Sunset) for a show we are very excited about. We’ll be sandwiched (set-wise) in between Portland act Tu Fawning and Seattle’s own Shana Cleveland (of The Curious Mystery). Buy tickets here!
Won’t you come and hear our new sounds?

About
About
- Slow Skate is the project of Seattle married couple Caitlin Sherman and Jason Goessl along with longtime collaborator/producer Robb Davidson. Reverb soaked vocals, vintage keyboards, antique zithers, swooning guitar lines and retro drum machines illustrate a sort of musical noir. Their performances have an intense dynamic range of whispers and growls with Sherman's dark, dreamy songs as a centerpiece. Slow Skate's third full-length album, 'Count The Days With Me' was self-released in 2011.
Sherman and Goessl originally formed Slow Skate as a project that would allow them to play their favorite ballads, usually over a few drinks in someone's living room. After recording an album of covers in Minneapolis, summer of '05, the pair decided to shift the focus to Sherman's original material. With three full-lengths under their belt (Trace the Lines, Conduit Records 2008, Past the Whole Parade, self-released 2009, Count The Days With Me, 2011) and a new album currently in the works, Slow Skate have kept themselves busy in and out of the living room.
