In Ink Please: "Too Hot There Anyhow"
In Ink Please
Like many other bands out there, In Ink Please's members are separated by more than a few states. Jerik Hendrickson and Vanessa Palmer originally formed In Ink Please back in 2003 when they were both living in Fargo, North Dakota. But, in 2004 Vanessa moved out to Seattle to go to college and study Chemistry. The duo still made time to get together and write their pretty pop songs and eventually got a deal with Baltimore, MD's Fall Records, the first home of Page France. Their second release, a full length titled Formica Table For Two will be out soon on Fall Records. I had this track, the third on the upcoming album, on repeat all the way into work this morning.
[MP3]: In Ink Please :: Too Hot There Anyhow
On Formica Table For Two Jerik and Vanessa create warm little pop songs using mostly acoustic guitar and piano, and Vanessa's beauiful voice, of course. I can just picture her peering out of her foggy rain covered window in Seattle singing this lyrics, "You and I have had our differences in the past, but California can we call a temporary truce, so I can see some palm trees and walk the piers, and get myself south enough of here, so I can see some sunshine, for the first time, in a long time."
Ink Ink Please will be on the road through the end of August and most of September. Please go see them.

I read your blog, which is by far one of my favorites, on a daily basis (just the other day I purchased the Airfields CDs... thank you!)
I'm really excited to see you writing about In Ink Please, who are friends of mine. They are wonderful people who make fantastic music, and more people should be in love with them. My band, Snow Cuts Glass, will actually be joining them for the full length of the tour, which I am ridiculously excited about. Any chance we'll be seeing you on the East Coast?
Anyhow, keep up the good work. You have introduced me to many a band.

Thanks for the nice words and yep! I'm sure I'll be seeing you guys at the Ottobar in Baltimore! I cant wait, it'll be a great show!
