Happenings

Bonjour-
So we've been busy at work lately on our forthcoming EP, and we're going through a heady round of mixing right now with Nick Peterson trying to get things situated. I can probably say that we're looking at an early Fall release for this record, as we don't want to put it out in the middle of summer when everyone is away, but it may work out just selling it when it's done and waiting until the Fall for a release party. We'll see...

We also spent last Sunday evening with our good friend Derek Torres from Lake Inferior who is recording a version of "I Would Say" for us. I've heard the test mix of the first verse or so and am thoroughly impressed. It's a much richer and fuller sound than you've heard from any of our recordings and I hope to do some more songs with him in the future.

We've got a nice little break in between shows right now and we're taking that time to learn some new songs and break out old ones that haven't been played in awhile. Hopefully we'll be playing some things that are new to your ears in the upcoming weeks. Hope to see you out soon.

Also--we're most likely going to be compiling all our self-produced demos (about 10 or 11 songs) onto a single CDR for sale around the time of our Dive show. It'll kind of be a fond farewell to those crappy recordings of yesteryear, so get them while we have them because we're only planning on making a limited number. It'll sport new album art, too.

Cheers,
'Nots

Is the time on the 4/18 Raleigh event correct? I was under the impression that was a daytime thing. 11:45am, maybe? Yipes that's early.
