Well that weekend was tiring! Big Bats on Friday night, DC BBQ Battle Sat morning, then Middleton's Sat night. There was a huge snafu with my kit Sat night. Omar's car battery died in DC and he didn't have time to run back home and grab his truck (which is where my drums were/are). So I ended up using the practice kit that we keep at Jaime and Julie's place. I rocked a two piece with hats, a ride and a crash and dude it was awesome! Definitely a little more challenging than you would expect but very cool nonetheless.
Looks like we only have rehearsal on Tuesday then a Pre 4 of July party at Fishhead Cantina with Bond & Bentley, Cool Kid Collective, Fresh Competition, Flights Kool, Scarborough Sideshow, Tommy McGee, Guthrie Matthews, Skribe. Pretty damn good line up right there man.
We'll be starting to track next week! Thank god and more than that thank Steve! Originally the record was looking at a early spring 2011 release but we reworked the schedule and modified our process a little and now we're looking at a possible fall 2010 release. We will have a single out pretty soon. If you've seen us recently you've heard it. But just in case your not sure which song it is I don't want to ruin it for you. We're about a month or so out on that. We want to have the single and the website all ready at the same time so we can basically do a big single release thingy... not really sure how that works but we'll see!
Ok that's it...thanks and see you from the throne! -DonBoy

End of prepro!
Well just finished the last night of preproduction! Definitely looking forward to tracking next month. I could definitely live in a studio.... LOVE IT! We've got a total of 16 songs that we have to whittle down to 12. Not too sure which ones we'll cut but we'll see. Omar and I have been throwing around the idea of just releasing them as iTunes singles as we write the next album... cool idea.... O's got a bunch of em!
We've got 4 festivals left this year: Annapalooza, Artscape, Tincan and Hot August Blues! Damn that's cool. We are sharing most of those with The Bridge and our good friends Higher Hands. I'm hoping that we can somehow hook up with the Bridge and maybe do some shows? Anything to further the cause so to speak.
