Congrats on the new CD and the new house
On the release of their new CD Little Hours, Richmond.com tells the story of how the band Spokane built a 19th-century replica federal house at 513 North 31st Street after becoming intrigued by an original, dilapidated federal home a few blocks away.
From the artist bio:
After a four year hiatus, in the spring of 2006, the band undertook the building of a replica nineteenth-century federal home, designed by Rick to the specs of a gutted historic house down the road. The building was a difficult, conflicted process, haunted by the idea of perfection and questions of what separates us from what we disdain, during which their 5th full-length album Little Hours was written and recorded. Released in 2007, it serves as an aural parallel to that year and event.
It is a beautiful house. We went through it during an open house and asked them if they would trade houses with us. They said no.
Thanks for the congats and mention. We’re very proud of it. There’s an open house this Sunday (8/12) if anyone is interested in coming by and having a look.
