hello
our song The Big Idea was recently featured in a film reel for MPC.
you can read more about it at the Austin Chronicles' Wednesday Rewind here.
the blog OLD & NEW recently featured The Big Idea and you can read the review right here.
Wholly Roller recently reviewed our EP and you can read all about that right HERE.
We're starting to piece together the new EP and are planning on having it out into the ether by January 2012. We'll be putting out MP3's off it before hand and we're in the pre production of a video to accompany one of the tracks. It might have a lot of balloons and a disco ball in it. We're also going to be doing a split 7" with ROYAL FOREST in the foreseeable future. We love those guys. Below is a pic taken from our good friend Brandon from Magnet School / Shifting Sounds at the Quiet Company album release show.
our soon to be titled LP is beginning it's final stages and we can't wait to show you, you & you.
we're working on a little video to show the process and maybe, just maybe put up a track by the end of the month.
we also have some shows lined up in august and september here in drought ridden austin.
Man, what a great week sxsw has been. We are grateful that we were able to showcase this year, and we also met some really great people from every which place. But...the party is all over now. Who is gonna clean all this up...downtown is trashed.
Next, we have to get on the full length. It will be out at the end of this year. period.
I spent the morning today trying to write something different... I became very frustrated because I couldn't use the recording software very well. It is a plate spinning act trying to keep a crawling little boy from hurting himself and me trying record new ideas... made for a good morning though. I think one idea will make a solid new tune. Cant wait to hammer it out with everyone else.
After getting the first show out of the way it is time to write some new material. First two songs in the works... the mojo is working for us.
Weather is starting to change from summer to fall here in Austin, and everyone is looking forward to the next practice. Sounds a like a good recipe for a third tune?
