Some cool news coming up in the next couple of days. Working on booking our first tour of California for this summer, July 11th-19th, so if you can help or would like to see us play somewhere in particular let us know!
Not too much else new to report right now. We added two songs each from the "Black Hole" and "De-Evolution" EP's to the Sounds page, and the Flash mp3 player on that should be working much better and faster now than it was. Still no word on the "Lab Rats" 7-inch, hopefully soon. One thing that is pretty exciting is that we are finally planning a Summer tour in California. Looking at July 11th to 19th, so if you want us to play in your town, drop us a line and let us know what good places to play are and how to get a hold of them. You can also read a brief interview with us here.
First update of the new year. "The Next Mutation" is done, and we are currently engaging in a quest to find a label to release it. 12 songs in all, and we're really happy with how it sounds. We took a little break from shows over the holidays, but I expect to get back into gear right quick. Still no definitive word on the "Lab Rats" 7-inch, but we're hoping to hear something at the end of the month.
Naked Raygun show was amazing. Soooo good we had to drive down and see them in Eugene as well. A couple of new pics from our set will be going up soon. Working on writing some new stuff and re-learning/re-interpreting some stuff from the Eugene days to record.
Some bad news just came down the pike. Due to some unexpected medical expenses it looks like the "Lab Rats" record will be further delayed. Possibly a couple months, we'll keep you posted whenever we know more.
So. Here's the new site, redesigned to reflect the new single coming out. We're putting the finishing touches on our first full-length album, "The Next Mutation" as we speak, and hope to begin shopping it to labels very soon. You can hear three of the songs from the new album on the sounds page, and there's still a different one on our myspace page. The "Lab Rats" 7-inch will probably not be out until December, and the split with the Thought Patterns looks like it will be on Iron Goat Records but there is still no real time frame for that. There are some big shows coming for us in the next couple of months as well, so check out the shows page if you haven't lately. For now this page only contains the last couple of updates, but I'll fill in the archives all the way back pretty soon. The store is down until we get the new record and some new shirts in, but if you want to order a record you can still e-mail us for details.
Damn! Time goes by so ridiculously fast. The recordings are going really well. If you haven't been by our Myspace page in a while we have three of the new songs up there for you to check out. Speaking of Myspace, it has come to my attention that some people did not recieve some of my messages about shows and stuff, which has always been an issue with Myspace, so if you're going to contact us, please also send a regular e-mail for a back-up. We look flaky due to these errors and I would very much like to avoid that in the future. Two new releases are in the works: the "Lab Rats" 7-inch should be coming out on Bitchin' Riffage in Oct./Nov. and we are also going to be working on a split with the Thought Patterns. No time frame yet on that, but we're really excited about it.
We've started new recordings here in the basement of Von Rocket Manor, we've got rough basic tracks for about 19 songs, minus Glenn's leads. As soon as we can get those down and some better takes of the stuff that needs it we'll probably put up a few new songs streaming for y'all. More new songs are in the works as well, like "Night Of The Surf-Bots" and "(You're Gonna Get) Deleted". We're definitely planning on getting some new releases out this year, hopefully a couple of singles and a full-length CD/LP. Most likely one of the singles will be on Chris' New Regard Media label, but so far we don't have anything else lined up, so any interested labels should get in touch.
