We’re Making A Second Album! And there are 500 Cactus Tractor eggs to be found before April 30th!
Greetings Cactus Tractor Friends, Family and Aficionados! In the traditional spirit of the Easter/Passover/Spring Equinox season we thought it would be fun to draw on our album with white crayons, dye it bright colors, then hide it in the backs of toilets, under eaves, inside of sewing baskets, in cello cases and light fixtures—all so…

Cactus Trailer, Squishing Pears all over Town!
We’ve been incredibly busy this week with the campaign to bring cacti and tractors together at last. Incidentally we met a “real” cactus tractor last night at the source. In this photograph you see Steve operating the cactus tractor, and together they are squashing prickly pears into fuschially teeth-tinting cactus juice. Our proposed tractor doesn’t…

Space Tractor! The kickstarter campaign begins.
Yesterday we launched our Kickstarter campaign. It was a pretty dramatic event. Birds, a 1st grade artist we know (we’ll be the house band at her upcoming Zendo show later this month—stay tuned)) and I counted down from 3 and yelled “BLASTOFF!” when David (Birds) pushed the “publish” button. Now we can say that we…

Columbia by Cactus Tractor
Cactus Tractor at PotluckCon Yesterday we recorded “Columbia” at PotluckCon in Dusty Wakeman’s pop-up studio in Tucson Arizona in the Mojave suite at a resort… There is all kinds of name dropping and crediting we get to do, so settle in! Samur from Seahorse Sound in L.A. recorded and mixed the session, and Freidl filmed…

Band Member Bios
Sebastian Hayseed (Claude, Lord Farnsworth). No bio on file. Ginger [no last name] (neé Breadhouse) is the love child of Jennene Swift, who in 1975 married a rock. The song “Brick House” was originally written for her, under the title “Ginger Bread House.” She was proposed to by a famous Brazillian pop star when she was…

What is (a) Cactus Tractor?
Ginger never understands anything Sebastian (Claude*) says, and vice versa (although Claude [Sebastian] thinks he’s better at it than Ginger is). For instance, she didn’t even know she was being called Ginger for some time. Pincher, binger, danger, finger, linger, stingy, jingle, jumper, Winger—she really doesn’t understand a single thing I say (and vice versa). Hence…

U.S. Tour (In the Shape of Yemen)
So here’s the story in brief: We played a show with the Yeah Man’s the other night under the name of Bandana Verde. They misread our name and thought we were Banana Verde (like an unripe fruit), and so, to one-up us (before even meeting us!), they thought they might be able to co-opt/appropriate our name…
