Mon, 14 Dec 2009 00:12:00 PST

It would help us out a bunch if everyone took a minute to vote for our new album Swell as one of KEXP's top albums of 2009. Vote here.

And while I'm broadcasting, I should mention that we have a show coming up at the Tractor in Ballard on Saturday December 26th with Star Anna and Kristen Ward. If you think you can make it RSVP here to let us know, or invite some friends.

Ok, ok, I can't resist mentioning that we've gotten some nice reviews:

Seattle Weekly

Pufferfish Ride the Swell

After listening to Swell incessantly since it came into my possession 24 hours ago, I've come to the conclusion that it is worth picking up, and not just because it contains one of the best country songs I've heard come from a Seattle artist this year, "Wrecking Ball." Read More

KEXP

KEXP Song of the Day: Wrecking Ball

Pufferfish is another Northwest band in a collection of great ones flying the "freak folk" flag. Banjo? Check. Accordion? Check. Harmonica? You get the point; just add some harmonies and you've got all the trappings of a great bluegrass band. Read More

And that is all for now.
