Jeff Linsenmaier here ~ I met my friend Roger Green in 1996 when I started playing bass for his band at the time called Idlemind. This band consisted of Roger, myself, Sara Cahoon (who is now a Sub Pop artist) and Patrick Park (currently on Badman Recording Co.). Soon after we met, Idlemind travelled to New York to record an EP with Kurt Ralske (from The Ultra Vivid Scene), it was one of the 1st times I had been in a city bigger than Denver. Roger joined my band, The Czars soon after and we went on to record albums and tour Europe for almost 10yrs together. This is a photo of Roger tracking guitars for the new Dust EP. It's the 1st time we've played together in years, and the results will speak for themselves I think! Oh yeah, and here's a track from that Idlemind NY EP!

Blessings ~

Always on my Mind

Dust on the Breakers teamed up with our friend, LA's Warren Huart to produce Caleb Slade’s debut recording! We want to celebrate it’s completion by sharing one of the songs with everyone! If you listen carefully you can hear Jeff L singing some very ladylike backing vocals, and both Tim Husmann and Caleb look pretty rad with birds of prey on their arms.. Check it out! 

Our dear friend Miranda Brown has signed on to sing on the next Dust EP being recorded as we speak! 5 New songs being released one at a time, each accompanied by it's own video! Very exciting... Check Miranda's wikipedia, she's an impressive gal!

Patrick Meese

Nate Meese with Jeff Linsenmaier

If you've seen us live, than you've most likely seen the talented Meese brothers (Patrick and Nate) playing with us. Patrick mans the drums and helps out with vocals, and Nate has played keys and percussion and guitar for us during our live shows! Our brothers in musical arms have left their former project (Meese) and teamed up with Patrick's wife to create a new project called The Centennial. Please do yourself a favor and check out the free download offered at The Centennial website! It's pretty much all we've been listening to this holiday season! Blessings ~ D.O.B.

With the UK release of American Relcamation, we've had some really terrific reviews over the last month.  Here are some of our favorites:

"The only need left unfulfilled at the end of American Reclamation is the need to hear more..."

It’s hard to describe in any other words besides "goosebumps".

In case you've been wondering what we've been up to lately, we put together this video together as an update.  Jeff Linsenmaier has been touring quite a bit this year with Wovenhand and The Fray.  Along the way he's been documenting moments of his travels with his Flip camera, accumulating quite a bit of video we are starting to cull through.  This video highlights two demos of new songs we wanted to share, along with some selected footage of Jeff's. 

The demos are of songs 1921 and Beck and Call.  These are songs that date back to the very beginnings of the band and have also been performed live a few times.  We decided it was time we picked them up again so we've started to hash out some rough tracks.

MP3s:

The UK-based singer-songwriter Sophie Mac recently sent us some questions for an interview.  You can read our long rambling answers on UK music site Music-News.com. You should also listen to her new EP. You'll be hooked - promise.
