Hey,

I’m playing a solo show at the French Press – a lovely cafe in my hometown of Towson, MD.  I plan on playing a few new songs from the upcoming EP and some jams from the debut as well.  The show will feature other songwriters from the area as well including the talented:

It’s looking like we’re going to release an EP in November.   It may or may not be called Eureka! Here’s an idea of the track listing:

There Was Light That Mountain is a Volcano Mila Sunset on Film Sarah Sits and Cries We’ll Get By

We might include another song on there or release it later . . . → Read More: Eureka! EP]]> Here’s to a long overdo update…

There Was Light
That Mountain is a Volcano
Mila
Sunset on Film
Sarah Sits and Cries
We’ll Get By

We might include another song on there or release it later on 7″ style. We’re not sure how well it meshes with this set so it might be better-paired with a B-side I’ve been working on called “Cactus Man.”

Much more to come.   Please stay with us.  Visit our store if you want to help with the recording

BONUS, here are a couple pictures I took from my backpacking trip in Yosemite:

Eureka!

We did it! Over half the album is now complete and we’re really happy about it.  We finished 5 of the 6 songs I mentioned in the previous post and got parts of a few others down as well.  Also, I’m hoping to post some vocal/piano versions of some of the new songs pretty soon . . . → Read More: 1/2 Recording – Success]]>

Indiana.  Crossroads of America?  Perhaps.

What is this, our 8th trip out there?  I think so.  No big deal, it’s only 583 miles and about 9 hours, 31 minutes, according to Google maps.  This, of course, assumes that we’ll be driving the speed limit.  You know, Dave got a bad ticket last time so we’ll probably take . . . → Read More: Recording]]>

This time, Erik’s going to put some strings on a few of the songs starting Wednesday.  It looks like Monday and Tuesday will be spent getting foundations ready for him.  Anyway, here’s the goal for the week:

1. We’ll Get By
2. There Was Light
3. Mila Don’t Make a Sound
4. Sarah (Sits and Cries)
5. That Mountain is a Volcano
6. The Party Goes On

Let’s see how we do…

1)  I bought a van that looks something like this.  Hopefully we’ll see you New England people a good bit this Fall.

2)  The second album is slowly coming together.  A combination of things (…$) are making it difficult to finish in a timely manner.

3)  We may be saying goodbye to members Jason and Mike (drums and bass).  Dave and I have a band philosophy that includes some touring and the heart of our rhythm section isn’t able to get on the road.  I assure you there are no hard feelings about the matter.

4)  I’ll be playing a few solo shows in Baltimore over the summer before a small New York jaunt in September.

5)  We’re sort of broke.  I took the free download off the site because I want to encourage people to donate to us by buying mp3s at Music Floss (a site where musicians keep 100% of profits and the cheapest place to buy our album).  If you still want the album for free, most of the songs have been blogged on Hype Machine and you can download them on related blog posts.  This is much cooler than getting us on torrents and you don’t need to make Lars Ulrich get all upset.

Love you all.  Hope to see you soon.
