8/29/10 It's been said,
by us, that finding new drummers is our band hobby. So it goes. In the
meantime, Robert continues to be a life saver and is helping us with
all the remaining shows up to the CD release next month. After that,
who knows what. <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> 8/26/10
Prepping for
next month's release of The Sea and Setting Sun. Doing all the
pointless things, like sending out demos and mp3's. For now, you can
hear two songs from the album on our website, Adventurer is listenable
right HERE,
and Empty Vessels right HERE.
We'll put up the whole album to stream soon enough... <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

Prepping
for a big week. Trying to practice as much as possible with our two
bass players. Learning Beatles songs for next Thursday and would like
to learn a Neutral Milk Hotel song for Tuesday but we may not have
time! We will see.

Working
with Jamarr, our new fill in bass player, on learning a bunch of songs.
He is a nice addition, given that Darrin is out of town so much, and
hopefully now we don't have to worry about not playing without a bass
player again.
We do
have some upcoming shows that should be quite fun. August 14 finds us
at the always free Carabar, playing with The Flotation Walls and Arlo
and The Otter for the first time. August 24 will find us at The
Treehouse with a band called Neutral Uke Hotel, which plays the
entirety of Aeroplane Over the Sea using Ukuleles and probably some
horns or something. We'll just have to see. Hopefully we can learn a
Neutral Milk Hotel cover before the show, since that's the last band in
the world anybody thinks we sound like. Of course, since Brandon hates
the Neutral Milk Hotel and thinks that their trumpets are the worst
thing ever, it might take some arm twisting and convincing him that
yes, people actually do like this band. On a related note, we have yet
to find a band that we all like. There are some Beatles songs that we
all agree are good, but I don't think that counts.

We
will be playing in Washington DC on Saturday, July 24 at the Comet Ping
Pong. No doubt we have no fans in Washington DC but we did personally
invite Barry O'bama and promised him an autographed copy of Children
With Wolf Heads. He's sure to be in attendance.
This is the new
website. It is simple. You can find information about us up there. This
is a video of us playing Comfest in Columbus last month. The song is
called Empty Vessels, it's from the upcoming album titled The Sea and
Setting Sun. It is coming out in September.
