Sweet Simulacra overload

/7 Comments/in /by

Hey Kids,

Just wanted to thank everyone who came to the show last night. Saw a lot of folks I hadn’t seen in a long long time. It was a great success. We had a blast. I wanted to sit down and watch the band with you. Chris, Joe, Eric and Trey are such bad asses. Not bad for 3 2 short practices in the last 2 weeks!

We sold lots of copies of the cd (thanks Amanda and Val) and I’ve now made it available direct via PayPal. Digital Distribution (emusic, iTunes, etc) coming very soon via cdbaby.com distribution – tho we don’t make that much money that way.

Thanks to Cindy at TexasGigs.com for the publicity. Thanks to Amanda for creating a great press release/kit.

On Sunday me and a few of the boys will be appearing on Miscommunication.net – another great local podcast. Will letcha know how that goes.

I am hoppy-cited about everything.

OMG – see a live performance of most of the album by the band, along with the classics you crave. There will be an opening and closing act, so get there early or on time.

Picked up the initial pressing of the cd yesterday – everything looks pretty good. hats off to Green Room Productions for the quick turnaround and great work.

Here’s a new tune ripped from the final cd. It’s called ‘Be Cool’ and is pretty much self-explanatory. No need for roundabout inferences on this one. Enjoy.

Be Cool – 192k mp3

Holt plays a nice Rhodes part and Producer Paul Williams does the silly falsetto at the end.

Cd is being pressed this week. Thanks to Amanda and Kris for the great artwork! Band practiced yesterday – we were a bit rusty, but still rocking. Another practice or two and we’ll be good to go with the new material. I know this sounds odd, but the way the cd was recorded (a few rehearsals – then record while adding new or different parts during the sessions) kinda forced us to relearn a lot of the material. Chris and I will have a few separate vocal practices to get all of the new harmonies together too, while Trey is on tour with Sorta.

 We are still trying to finalize the date and location for the cd release party/performance. Urgh. Hopefully I’ll have something solidified by the end of the week. Will letcha know.

Testing Video Plugin – Interview with an Extremely Annoying Monkey Puppet

The video plugin works! So very very silly and stupid. The movie, not the plugin. Don’t expect this to be up for very long.
