Help write our August 31 set list - vote for your favorite Kleos songs

People of the Earth,

Kleos, our first full length record, was released five years ago. I was surprised to learn how many people still enjoy the album and also surprised to learn that many of our newer fans weren’t familiar with it.

We would like to reintroduce the album and perform a Kleos-heavy set for our August 31st show at Great American Music Hall and we need your help to decide on which songs to play.

Vote for your favorite Kleos tracks (up to three) in this poll and we will play the top choices at the show. We’re already going to play “Muses” and “Cassandra Castaway,” so those two are freebies.

You can also help us out by sharing this poll with your friends and other Picture Atlantic fans.

Thank you for your help! -RB

This last Sunday we had the honor of playing the Sunday Streets festival in the heart of the Mission District in San Francisco. The amazing Anna Larina of Skeleton Key Photography came out and took some great pictures. You can see more here
. Our fellow San Jose compatriots, Curious Quail, and our partners in crime Rin Tin Tiger also got to play a block down from us!

In lieu of one of my usual Monday blog posts, I wanted to share this with you all. These are a collection of very early color photographs of the Russian Empire circa 1900-1912. It’s almost unreal how some of them look like they were snapped with a phone or a digital camera. Yet, this was over 100 years ago.Something about seeing these photos makes me feel very nostalgic.

Follow the link to see lots more, and to find out how these wonderful photos were captured in color!
