Summertime White Eagle Residency

Wow. This website keeps getting sinfully neglected! We’ve been busy playing, traveling, traveling to play, and also putting finishing touches on the album we began LAST summer. But now we’re back, and THIS summer, every Monday in June, we’ll be playing at the White Eagle Saloon in Portland. It’s our favorite haunted former Polish brothel in town. Each night, different guests, different songs, different weather. Hope to see you at one of these thangs. They’re fun. Also, thanks to Dan for designing this poster, lovingly titled “Hair Hill.”- Chris

Purchase “Ghosts’ Menagerie” online from iTunes.

Back in Business!

We in the Fear of Heights have been very busy over the past few months since Ghosts’ Menagerie was released, though you might not have known it since we’ve been woefully negligent updating this here website. Some great gigs, recording,… the usual. BUT, over the Holiday break, we also signed on with Octopus Entertainment to handle booking!

This means:

1) We’ll be playing more, and have some exciting shows to announce!

2) We are wicked awesome!

3) We’ll spend less time corresponding with talent-buyers and bands to book shows, and more time updating our damn website (or practicing, writing, gigging, recording, etc.) So nice!
