We are: joe bourgeois sam craft michael girardot chris guccione blandon helgason stephen macdonald eric rogers ryan rogers cory schultz We can't stop playing music, and its the best thing to ever happen us. We wouldn't stop playing even if you killed us. "Dueling drum kits. Mid-song instrument swaps. Tag-teamed vibraphone solos. Curtain-dropping rhythm circles. Each of these made an appearance at a recent Blue Nile gig, and all on the encore performance of “Borgnine,” a 7-minute syncopation lesson that borrows parts from the Mercury Program, Tortoise, Aloha, Danny Elfman and Steely Dan and sounds precisely like none of them. It starts with two plunks on a piano and ends with a leisurely, lounge-y keys/brass/bass waltz. In between there are itchy cymbals and scratch snares; multiple polyrhythmic, Elfmanesque vibe-offs that evoke snowflakes colliding in a Tim Burton-directed blizzard; and that wordless, “ooh-ooh-hoo-ooh-hoo” falsetto hook that eventually should catch Antenna Inn the record deal it’s been fishing for."--Noah Bonparte Pais, Blog Of New Orleans - "Inn Like Flint"
