2010!

TRACKING IS DONE!!!

Hey all!So the band just had a really long, but very productive weekend! We basically locked ourselves in the studio for about 28 hours and recorded 3 brand-new songs, plus one short 2-minute interlude. We feel really good about these new songs, which seemed to write themselves all at once.The first song is called “Big Grey Sky” –... [Read more of this blog entry]

Mad Props to Dancing Artists!

Hey folks! It’s been a while, hasn’t it? I don’t have a whole lot to say today, but I wanted to share a video with ya’ll. The man cutting rugs in this video is an artist named John Dinser. You may recognize his work from the cover of our album, “Music Nightly.” And this video is especially appropriate, considering... [Read more of this blog entry]

PERFECTION!

I will forever remember this day: July 23rd, 2009. I sat at my work desk yesterday, and listened to the White Sox on the radio – and what I heard was legendary. Mark Buerhle threw a perfect hame! The 2nd no-hitter of his incredible career, as well as the 2nd perfect gamein White Sox history (first since 1922). Only the 18th perfect game since... [Read more of this blog entry]

NEW BEGINNINGS!

This week has been one of the more productive ones the band has had in some time! Earlier this summer, we began writing new music – tinkering with old riffs – and generally focusing on finding the new music we want to showcase in our new EP (to be released this fall or winter). But sometimes the writing process gets stalled. And in our case,... [Read more of this blog entry]

More Cartoons!

And this one is topical! To be perfectly honest, I miss Michael Jackson. I’m not going to spend my entire blog post in tears, lamenting the loss of our Ultimate King of Pop (in fact, I do have pressing issues to discuss), but before I get to those, you should watch this cartoon. Apparently, the Jackson 5 had their own cartoon show back in the... [Read more of this blog entry]

CARTOON JUNKY

I am a HUGE sucker when it comes to animated features. I’ve loved cartoons all my life, and I STILL laugh like a 5yo on a sugar-high when I see some funny little animated guy doing something just HILARIOUS. So naturally, I saw ‘UP’ last weekend and I totally loved it! Not only because it was a goofy cartoon, but because it was just... [Read more of this blog entry]

"Uplifter"

This week, 311 was streaming their brand new album “Uplifter” on their MySpace page, and I spent all day Tuesday and Wednesday listening to it, over and over… Most of the guys in the band and I have been diehard 311 fans since at least 93, and I’m constantly pleased with every new album they come out with for one reason or another... [Read more of this blog entry]

Soundtrack of My Week

Greetings! Dave here, and I’ve had a song stuck in my head for the past 4 days. So, since I can’t humming it to myself, I thought I’d make it the soundtrack of my blog post this week. Just some more proof that musical trends are cyclical, and the electro-cheesy sounds from the 1980′s, against all odds, are coming back with... [Read more of this blog entry]
