so it turns out that updating this thing ranks pretty low on my list of priorites. but it's on the list nevertheless so here i am UPDATING. january was a pretty slow month for us. at the beginning of the month (and year) we embarked on a four day tour with our friends in oedipus. down to NC and back up. it was a great four days full of complete mayhem. we met some really great people along the way (HUGE thanks to alex, jeff, and ted who all set up shows for us). we came back from the weekend kind of burned out and hating each other, but we soon got back to our feet and started loving each other again. i think some of our other bands were a little more active in january which is why we didnt do much. justin and jon's band sawhorse played a weekend full of shows in support of their recently released album. in addition, jer has been beefing it up in a couple of side projects, one of which where he plays DRUMS?!?!! wild right? and there has been a new reincarnation of justin and tommy's old band batcomputer, they are now practicing as batcompressor, hopefully with more whiny songs about girls.
so we have been busy, well i guess everyone except for me...i havent been doing anything at all. we've also been working really hard with our engineer mike on our album. this has definitely been a process, but we're hoping that we are seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. if all goes according to plan, the album will be sent to mastering this week and HOPEFULLY to pressing next week and in 10-15 days from then, VIOLA we'll finally have an album. in the meantime, there will be another opportunity to preorder the album for a CHEAP price from our label 229 Records very soon for those of you who were unable to do so with our preorder.
in addition to all of this, we have been working hard on new material. we are about 70% finished with a new song that we hope to be adding into our setlist rotation really soon. if i remember, im hoping to bring a camera to practice so that you guys can get a listen in on what we're doing.
as far as shows go...we have a couple in feb that will definitely be worth coming out to. THIS SUNDAY we are playing at the ottobar with a bunch of other great bands for a whole day of music mini fest. do your best to make it out!
