You all know Mark Watrous, right? Brendan's keyboardist/guitarist and SUCH a lovely guy! We had many a chat with him on the UK tour in October and he always made time for us Check out his solo stuff here -> www.myspace.com/markwatrousmusicFor anyone who's lucky enough to be in Washington state, Mark is playing a solo show in Kennewick, WA on 12th Feb. Details on his Myspace page. Make sure you go if you can, and have a drink for me!

Of course, Mr Watrous! Haven't listened to his music in ages.
I often think in some of his songs, his vocals sound quite a lot like Elliott Smith, which i think is a compliment, i adore Elliott Smith but you've got to be in a very specific mood to listen to it, whereas Mark i can listen to any time, like a happy Elliott...
And i'll agree with Soph and Jess that he is a very lovely guy, but also hilarious too. He's had us cracking up laughing numerous times....though i'm not sure if he knows quite how funny we found some things. Lol. And as Soph said, he always made time for us!
Would love to see him play solo, that'd be really interesting!

We need to pester him in to playing a side show over here, yes?!
Has anyone been able to find an actual copy of the Quarter EP he did with Hannah Georgas?! I really wanted a copy but all I could find were iTunes links!

I found this ages ago, but I think I didn't quite understand what the deal was. It seems like you're buying an actual copy of the record, but I couldn't find information on shipping to the UK. www.hiddenpony.ca/en/products.details.php?id=245
