Hi Nate! How are you?
I’ve seen on Youtube “The road” live at the Q-bar in Dortmund…have you ever thought about publishing on this website a list of all the songs which had not been included in any CD or EP?
Hi L. The Road will come out officially someday, I hope. I’m working on it. Thanks for your interest and cross fingers…
Great band …
I love this music
Hey, I’ve been searching for the Eye of the Beholder compilations and it seems really difficult to get a hold of – I know they were limited releases. But I’ve really appreciate any advice on how I could get a hold of that music. Thanks!
Isaac: It’s been a while but the last time I was at TD’s in Bloomington they had copies of these comps: http://bit.ly/vznoun They do special orders, so if they still have them they can get them to you. All of the Rivs tracks from these comps are available on the Stray Songs collection. – N
@Isaac.
I am currently on tour, but I will be home on DEC 01.
I am pretty sure I have copies of all the EYTBeholder comps in my mail order box.
Email me at figurehead (at) bluesanct (dot) com and I will hook you up when I get back home next week.
All the best.

hi nathan
i met you years ago in Chicago at the Uncommon Ground, we played on the same bill
glad to see you are doing well and still making your beautiful music
i am Spanish, also nice to see you are touring Spain:)
Gracias Laura, hope you are well.
It was just great meeting you — even if I was too late for your gig!
We’ll meet again.
Love,
Serge.
Your early “Demos” & “Alcohol Eps” are great!
Looking for “Infinite Light”, next week.
Have a great week + good luck for the gigs.
Love,
Serge.
Hey Nate!
Just listened to your awesome showcase performance at the Incubate Festival — how much I’ve missed in Bordeaux?!
Blame it on the snowy roads — bloody hell!
Better luck next time.
See ya,
Serge.
I should order some more from here and give a little participation in in the following weeks.
Hope to see you next time around here, Nate.
Keep in touch + take care.
With love,
Serge.
Thanks Serge. Right now we need people to pledge to this: http://www.indiegogo.com/rivuletstwo
Hello Nathan. I just want to say that your music is very beautiful. Best wishes
Cristián from Chile.
