Will be available here

October 1st, 2007 — Unofficial video from our show at Kongsberg Jazzfestival with Glenn Kotche and Nels Cline of Wilco as special guests is published under concert videos on our media center.

September 27th, 2007 — Südwest Deutche Rundfunk recorded our gig at Nickelsdorfer Konfrontationen festival in July, 2007. The mix is not great – rather wrong, actually.

September 5th, 2007 — Some photos, sound and video from summer concerts will be posted very soon.

June 20th, 2007 — Summer is here with a couple of summer festival appearances. We are happy to finally announce that we are playing with two very special guests from Chicago's Wilco at Kongsberg Jazz Festival, Norway on July 6th. In May 2006 Huntsville met Wilco's guitarist Nels Cline in Canada. We soon understood that it would be a great idea if Nels brought Wilco drummer Glenn Kotche for a special Huntsville + special guests happening. For about 12 months we have been trying to find a place to do this. We’re all happy that it is now confirmed to happen at Kongsberg Jazz Festival. See you there – and at the Wilco show the day after! Stay tuned for a report from this gig.
