Hot days are upon us. Do you believe people made it through summer before air conditioning. It sure is hard to fathom what it was like in Texas and the rest of the Southern Tier back in those days. Heck, I remember nights when we showered and went to bed wet. As the clock approaches midnight coming home, my clothes were steamy and clingy, the air was still, and it was still 91 degrees. You could cut it with a knife. A state of torpor could easily ensue. I do find I wait until the sun goes down to do the heavy lifting. Ah, but this too shall pass.

Today’s band is Pebaluna (love the name!) The sun is shining brightly in the background of this video and they are barefoot, all putting me in mind of those AC-less days. The Los Angeles based group have debuted a new video for the song “No, I Can’t,” from the band’s forthcoming album, Carny Life, which will be released in just over a month on September 18. Pebaluna is Lauren Coleman on vocals, guitarist Matt Embree, bassist Jonathan Grillo and drummer Jessica Lankford. They will be performing a few dates in California leading up to the release of the album. Here is the exquisite  “No, I Can’t”
