This Monday we are going back into the studio to start work on our 4th full length record. We have spent the past few months writing some really cool stuff, some of which we will play on the 16th. I am so excited to go through this process again, and we have a lot of tricks up our sleeve for this release.
Some of the working titles for the songs:
All the beauty
Heart Hangs Low
When the lights show up the kids disappear
Watch for Falling Things
Dark Confessions
Barbarianism
Going Going Gonzo
Our good buddy Jimmy Lownotes Gilbert who you may know from that band The Sheila Divine has finally launched his own video portal. definitely check out all his hard work over the past year. Looks good man…
There is now a registry for all you real life Superheroes.
I saw this posted on a message board and think it’s one of the funniest things I’ve seen in a while. Trying to imagine a criminal coming in contact with one of these people, and what the outcome would really be.
Will and I are visiting the Sandbox Morning show on December 23rd to play a song or two and tell some jokes. I know we are on early, but hopefully not too early.
Playing with us on January 16th is one of my favorite local bands, Hallelujah the Hills. Having toured recently with the Silver Jews and a show with Triumph the Insult Dog they are quickly becoming too big for this town. I used to work with Singer Ryan Walsh at Harvard’s American Repertory Theater back in the day. He is definitely one of the funniest and well read individuals you will ever meet. Over the years he has constantly inspired me by writing some pretty amazing things be it an essay, opinion piece, story, or song.
