Lake Fever and Tugboat Productions have teamed up to create the freshly launched Lake Fever Sessions – a new ongoing series of in-studio performances showcasing local and national acts. They picked The Privates to set the proverbial ship out to sea and it couldn’t have turned out better. The session features three songs from the band (one being their cover of Paramore’s “Misery Business”) and a little insight on each from Dave Paulson himself.

While a high quality recording of The Privates, both audio and video, is certainly a treat unto itself the promise of ongoing Lake Fever Sessions is absolutely something to look forward to.

If you somehow missed the first Holly House showcase at the Mercy Lounge (or their Winter Formal), you’ve got a chance to redeem yourself tonight at The Basement. From the looks of the flyer the whole collective will be playing in some capacity tonight.
