DVD Mailing!
A week ago today we signed, packed, and stamped around 300(!) copies of the live DVD from our July Metro show. Here's a glimpse behind that scene.
A Childhood Merger Come True
Heyo, Packy here. As you probably know, IFD has just signed with
Atlantic Records! This is a colossal step forward in the band's path toward
world domination, and we are SUPER excited to take this ridiculous 8-bit operation to the next level. But I think it should be known that
this isn't the first time I have worked with Atlantic Records...
Be There's None.
Following suit from my bandmates, I decided to post something incriminating from my childhood. Ok, I went more "cute" than "incriminating," but I hope you enjoy it.
A Big Step Forward
Hi guys, Brian here.
So today we share some big news. If you've been reading our emails / blogs / twitter lately, you've probably been suspicious as to this 'secret announcement' we keep alluding to. Well the time has come, but I feel the need to explain first.
Mario's Underwater Blues
Hi friends, Packy here. I had a quiet Sunday to myself, which was very nice after a weekend of playing 2 rather loud non-IFD gigs (both of them benefit shows for Haiti relief and a girls' school in Kenya). I spent the day getting re-acquainted with my slide guitar playing and studying slide master Derek Trucks. After surviving the initial Derek-Trucks-Is-So-Good-I-Might-As-Well-Quit-Music-Now phase, I got to playing and came up with another NES cover for ya.
Memories
I was just reminiscing about all the gigs we've done since last summer until now, and thought I'd post a short compilation of pictures I've published spanning from Metro last July to our Denver show last December. My favs!
Weapons of a Dragon Fighter
Hey, Packy here. Now how the hell am I supposed to follow up Laura's awesome, insightful, inspirational blog post from Thursday? I feel like the little Italian mouse puppet Topo Gigio following the Beatles on Ed Sullivan. Thanks, Laura. Thanks a lot.
Well I don't have too much to say this week, so I think I'll talk about my gear for a bit. I know some might not be so interested in this instrumental esoterica, but maybe some young kid out there will read this and feel inspired to go out there and capture that elusive "Packy sound." Har, har!

The Girl in the Band.
I'm a lady. We'll, I can imagine by some people's standards I'm FAR from being a lady seeing how I drink beer, swear like a truck driver, and burp louder than the boys. But regardless of my poor manners, I am a woman. Female. Girl. Chick. Whatever. I've been one for 24.5 years. I'm also in a band full of guys. That, I guess, makes me the girl in the band.
