Kinda last minute, but last year Dale wasn’t abl Kinda last minute, but last year Dale wasn’t able to participate in our Christmas song, so we redid it for this year (to better effect, we think). We hope every one of you and your families have a merry Christmas and a blessed New Year. Here’s to a great 2025! #xmasmusic #xmas #provomusic #provomusicscene #indie
Hi everybody, we’re searching for photos or vide Hi everybody, we’re searching for photos or video of, in, and around any Provo clubs (live music and/or dancing) from the early/mid 80s to early 90s. We’re thinking of Broderick’s, The Palace, Ivy Tower, Plastique, and Backstage Cafe, but any others could work as well.

We’re story boarding a music video and would love to use shots from that era. We can’t pay for them but we’ll credit any material we get. Please feel free to share this post with anyone you think this could apply to. Thanks! #Provo #80s
We really enjoyed doing those Christmas songs last We really enjoyed doing those Christmas songs last year and last minute (of course), we decided to do another one. Dale was out of commission last week so Craig and George threw this together with the help of a backing track George found. We'll probably revisit this one next year with Dale and a more expansive arrangement, but this one will do for now. Merry Christmas to all our friends and loved ones (and everyone else)! #christmas #christmasmusic #provomusic #holidaymusic

New single. Link in our bio. Have you ever been da New single. Link in our bio. Have you ever been daydreaming at work and ended up seeing a film reel in your head of moments that changed your life? I was in the middle of doing that once and after the third viewing, it trailed off to a memory of an interview where Justin Currie (Del Amitri) professed his hate for “list songs” (thanks, Billy Joel!) while introducing one his band had just recorded. At that moment it occurred to me that I'd just done the same thing. I know gentlemen aren't supposed to kiss and tell, but it seems Audrey Smilley will.

It's hard to pinpoint the time or place that any o It's hard to pinpoint the time or place that any of us became aware of the Everly Brothers. They were just there. Their influence was direct (especially for Craig and George), but it also came filtered through any number of bands we grew up listening to; the Beatles not being least of them. Without Phil and Don, we may have never heard a John and Paul. That's reason enough to mourn their loss. RIP, Don (and Phil, who went before you). You earned your rest, and your music will live on. Thank you both for sharing your talent with the world.

We used to cover Squeeze in our set back in the 80 We used to cover Squeeze in our set back in the 80s. This isn't that song, but rather a bonus track from the Cool for Cats rerelease Squeeze did a few years back. But the song itself dates back to 1972. 
We like the Faces feel and the summer vibe of Ain't it Sad.
Special thanks to Craig's cousin, Mark Mingrone, for giving us the perfect Jools/Ian part! #Squeeze #80s #newwave #provomusic #provoindiemusic #indiemusic #indierock #indie @squeezeogram  @chrisdifford @glenntilbrook @nijimasu1 @oldmanc @zim365 @brooksfarris
But wait, you think ... Didn't we just hear this o But wait, you think ... Didn't we just hear this one? Not this version!

From our inception, acoustic guitars have been a part of our sound as a band. When we started performing "unplugged" gigs we would go through our songs and see which ones lent themselves to an all acoustic setting. Every once in a while we found ourselves liking those versions even more than the originals. So along the same lines, our latest "Covid Clip" got the acoustic treatment almost immediately (though it may have been at the direction of a band wife or two... the single guy writing this isn't quite sure). #80s #90s #indie #indierock #provomusic  #indiemusic #rockmusic #alternativerock
New song debut! Dale has been performing “Baby New song debut! 

Dale has been performing “Baby” in Idaho with his friends Layne Ward and Michael Corbett (the song’s writer) and liked it so well he pitched it to the Audrey boys for inclusion on Audrey Smilley’s upcoming full length release, Hiraeth. We’d love to know what you think of it, so please leave remarks in the comments below. Also, if you like "Baby," we’d appreciate it if you could share the song on whatever platform strikes your fancy. 

Special thanks to Layne Ward for providing back up vocals.  From what we  hear, Michael might not be expecting this at all. Hope you like it, sir! #indiemusic #indierock #provomusicscene #provomusic #80s #90s
George added this New York Dolls song to our quara George added this New York Dolls song to our quarantine list months ago, creating a scratch drum part and laying down the bass line, but that was as far as we got. Last week's news of the death of Sylvain Sylvain prompted us to step up and finish this one in his honor. 

It was as fun to record as it was the first time we heard it (on the band's 2006 reunion album). RIP, Syl, and thank you for reminding us how much joy one band can inspire.

Craig and Shauna are celebrating 34 years of marri Craig and Shauna are celebrating 34 years of marriage today. There isn't a symbol or traditional gift associated with the 34th anniversary, so Craig asked Dale, George, and Pete to help him record a musical tribute. A few years ago, Shauna said she considered "I Melt With You" as their song, so it only seemed proper to record this one to celebrate their anniversary. 

As a band, we wish them another 34 years(and more) of laughs and continued happiness!

Back in our initial run, George fell in love about Back in our initial run, George fell in love about 8 times (on average) a year. Every once in a while, those dalliances were memorable enough to inspire a song or two. He started this one thinking about one girl and finished it thinking about another. And while neither of those relationships lasted, at least we got a song out of them!

Thanks, once again to Peter Carey for joining us on drums!
