  new song! merry christmas!

  

  Merry Christmas from You Me & Iowa!

  As a special holiday treat, we've posted a recording of our cover of "Cantina Band", from Star Wars. Composed by John Williams, this was one of the most fun cover songs to figure out and put our own special spin on.

  Mixed and mastered by Mark Camperell, this was recorded live in preparation for our Halloween show a couple months ago.

  Enjoy, and we'll be back in LA for our December 30th show at Spaceland!

  Chess Moves and Rotating Tableaus

  Mr. Knudsen, our esteemed music video director, has just released a behind-the-scenes featurette of the making of the Make Your Home (Smell Delicious) music video. It chronicles the preparation, the hard work, the sleepless nights, the steadfast crew, and the sheer luck that made the video possible. Keep in mind, most everybody involved in this video got very little sleep before and during the shoot, and sheer adrenaline allowed us to power through. Special thanks go out to the cast and crew, who's incredible work made this all possible.

  New Goodies for Our Lovely Iowans

  We were invited to perform and record a new version of one of our songs at a small studio in Newport Beach a bit ago, and so this is the fruit of our labor. A reimagining of our song "Make Your Home (Smell Delicious)", it's almost as if our little song decided to escape the pressures of urban life by packing its bags and taking a sailboat journey to the sun-sparkled waters of the caribbean islands. We've missed having the little guy around, but now he's come back in digital form for you all to enjoy.

   

  The lovely gents at Indie Rock Reviews and Bionic Ear Sessions were kind enough to be our guides in capturing this song version, and we'd highly encourage you to check out their website, where you can see a behind-the-scenes music video of the recording day, as well as an interview and photos of our shenanigans. They also have some great reviews of some up-and-coming indie artists as well as a wealth of information for musicians out there.
