First show for us...at Le Voyeur

Artesian Rumble usually plays to support others.  For the first time ever, we played a show for us, as openers for Stumblebum Brass Band, at Le Voyeur, a bar in downtown Olympia.

Our namesake, the Olympia Artesian Well was bought by the City and officially made into a park.  The Artesians played in this unexpectedly sunny December day. Another photo

ARA led the stalwarts of the annual all-night horror festival to a hearty breakfast, in appropriate zombie costume, of course.

(City) Bus Tour

The Artesians love carpooling, biking and busing. We decided to have a bus tour...on the city bus. We played all over town, and later made a t-shirt detailing our exploits.
