As summer nights turn to fall... We just finished a show tonight at the Reverb. Considering it was a last minute gig, it went quite well. Every experience is invaluable... there are still a few kinks to iron out, but progress is always being made. Thanks Marco for helping us out. ...we were also in the studio recently to review the work that needs to be done to our demo tracks... long story short, we should have something in the next week and a half.posted by br: August 23, 2007 @ 11:14pm EST
New show added We'll be playing in The Paragon Spotlight Band Competition on September 7th, 2007 at the Reverb. A limited amount of free tickets are still available, and will be distributed on a first come first serve basis.posted by br: August 18, 2007 @ 1:04pm EST
August 30th show cancelled Heads up that we are no longer on the bill for the August 30th show at Reverb. Stay tuned for new shows and tunes in the fall.posted by br: August 9 2007 @ 7:44pm EST
More demo delays... The short story is that it'll be another month or so before we get a studio demo. Believe me, it fucking sucks getting your hopes up on something you've been waiting on for close to 3 months just to find out it still isn't ready. In the mean time we'll record vocals over the current pre-mixed tracks and upload them mid next week. We should have done this a while ago, but we just didn't anticipate all the delays with the demo.posted by br: August 9 2007 @ 7:38pm EST
The Same Color Illusion It keeps coming back to me, the idea that what we see isn't always what we think we see. Eyes can be so easily mislead... (link)posted by br: August 5, 2007 @ 12:50pm EST
We have been summoned... ...back to the studio to review our demo on the 8th of August. With any luck we'll have something in our hands by the end of next week.posted by br: August 1, 2007 @ 11:23pm EST
Vacuum metastability event The thought that all that is in existence, all that is and will ever be, could be destroyed in a mere blink intrigues me. Just the thought that without warning the big "snuff out" could sweep all we care about away. I stumbled across the idea of a "vacuum metastability event" recently. It’s not unlike the "total perspective void", a device in Douglas Adam's Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy which shows its victim the entire unimaginable infinity of the universe with a very tiny marker that says "You Are Here", which points to a microscopic dot on a microscopic dot. It causes me to take a second look at my priorities and the priorities of others around me. I have to ask myself if it is really important in the grand scheme of things if a new American Idol is crowned, or if my car is shiny and new, or if my cell phone can play "insert latest pop sensation" music videos. I always come to the same conclusion, no it’s not important and it will never be. These so called luxuries are indirectly keeping our minds off the state of our environment. They were made with good intentions but are victim to years of greed acting like a knife to sharpen them down to such a fine point that they can pierce even the smallest cell. So I often ask my self, if a total destructive force was to move through all that we have and are, would I be ready to accept it? Not much point in asking this, nothing would be left. We would have no choice but to be ready. But it’s merely motivation. A simple idea to be ready at all times to slip away.posted by jd: August 1, 2007 @ 3:20pm EST
Waiting for our demo... Our 4 song demo CD is currently still being produced... unfortunately we don't have a timeline for the release. We ended up re-recording all the drum tracks, vocals and some tweaks on guitar and bass, as well as a full new track called Usman. We'll keep you posted as soon as we have something. For the time being we've put up our rough studio edits with the old drum tracks, minus the vocal tracks.posted by br: July 30, 2007 @ 12:08am EST
