thanks again to everyone who came out to the Whistle Stop Bar on friday night. to all our friends and family who drove in from Orange County, Los Angeles, the Bay Area, Arizona, and beyond. to Swim Party for setting the stage. to DJ Claire for keeping the dance party going. to Sam, Scott, and the rest of the Whistle Stop for having us one more time. to Rosey, Natalie, My, and any other blogger and friend we forgot.
on May 15th, 2005, we four Modlins played our first show together at The Whistle Stop bar. i (alex) had never even been to South Park before that, despite living in SD for 3.5 years prior. here are a few photos from that first show...
and here's a few from our Farewell. also one more shoutout to everyone who joined us at the end for All You Need Is Love...

bass tabs for Benefit of Doubt
... and on that note, since we have been unsuccessful in finding a replacement Baritone Saxophone player to cover the part i laid down on Benefit Of Doubt (the lead track on our 2010 SDMA "Best Pop Album" -nominated Shoot The Moon, btw!), i figure it might be easier to find someone to cover the bass part instead. which goes a little (exactly) something like this...

Farewell Show - This Friday!
To all our faithful friends and fans,
The time has come for the last gasp, the final hurrah, the closing scene! We'll be playing our Farewell Show this Friday Night, August 20th at the Whistle Stop Bar in South Park (fb event here). Kicking the night off is Swim Party, our dear friend band who will be playing a special set full of covers and lo-fi versions of their own songs. DJ Claire will also be there to spin some sweet tunes. The show is Free (I know, ridiculous right!?) and starts at 9pm. Expect tons of songs spanning our entire catalogue and a few surprise guests. Come say "goodbye" ... We hope to see you there.
