Check out studio photos on Flicker below. Anticipate some limited gigs in the next few months to polish stuff and a new website and CD by fall time (if Billy can scrape time away from his PhD, running, and a planned trip to Florence with Menka). In the meantime check out planning-related blog posts at Livagreen.com, Billy’s new Twitter feed, and Carlos’s latest band effort The Illness – not exactly BRB style but we love him never-the-less.

While I played on a few of the introductory tracks for “Tug Boat” apparently none of them made the final album. She’s upped the anty this time and invested in some serious production too, moving away from my bedroom-based mastering and production, which you can hear in the sound quality. She , cousin John, and their two young ones, have done a great job with this project and I would encourage all to get copy. Best, Billy

If you could take a few minutes to click on the link below and offer us your thoughts we would appreciate it.  All the responses will be anonymous, all you need to do is follow the link below: 


Thank you for your help.

Thanks all for a wonderful gig at 111 Minna Gallery last Friday!!!  We have already been invited to come back there and are tentatively planning a Sept/Oct timeframe.  


A few videos are now posted on YouTube and you can check them out on the front page of our website at:
www.billyriggsband.com or on our YouTube channel at www.youtube.com/dighabillity.  

Also, in order to better understand our audience we’ve made a brief 10 question survey to help us understand our strengths and weaknesses better.  If you could take a few minutes to fill it out and offer us your thoughts, we would appreciate it.  All responses will be anonymous so feel free to let your opinion be heard.  


Thank you for all of your help and stay tuned for more gigs and information in the near future.
