Looking forward to Nov. 19 . . . and using our new Blog!

Hey guys! 

We have a blog now . . . welcome to the future.  I'm going to post on this sucker pretty regularly to keep everyone updated on what's going on with our band, so please subscribe and check back regularly.

Show Tomorrow:  We are looking forward to our first full-length show tomorrow at the Moose in Downers Grove.  The past couple of weeks we've put finishing our demo on hold in order to polish up the new material we're adding.  We've got a couple covers in the set now, which I know you guys are going to dig.  After the show, we're planning on partying for a while in downtown Downers, so come prepared!  We will also be running a 50/50 raffle to support the local Bonfield Express scholarship charity.

Demo:  The version of Maryanne that is available for download on facebook is still a work in progress.  In the week or two after the Moose show, we are hoping to wrap it up along with the other song we will be releasing called "Fever Dream".  The only thing left to record on Maryanne is Marcus Ranucci's sax part.  All we have left for Fever Dream is a little bit of vocal touch up from both myself and Carrie.  Once that's done, we'll play with the mix.  And publish the songs online.  Keep checking back on our facebook and myspace pages, cause they should be up in the next few weeks.

Album:  As soon as we're finished with the demo, the plan is to get started ASAP on a 6-8 song album.  Depending on how the demo sounds, we will have to decide whether to keep recording in our home studio, or go into a professional studio for the album.  It's a tradeoff between professional gear and expertise and the artistic freedom to spend a ton of time tinkering with the smallest details.  Once the demo is released, we'd love to get all of your opinions on what you think. 

Promotion:  We're doing everything we can to get our name and music out there on the internet and around town.  If anyone has any other ideas, please leave us a comment.  Also, if you'd like to join our street team and help us out, send me an e-mail.  If you haven't done so already, the easiest way to support is is by "liking" our facebook page and/or recommending the page to your friends.  You can also become a "fan" of our ReverbNation page (which is linked to our facebook page) and help us move up the local charts, or sign up for our e-mail list by simply plugging your address into the link above.  Best of all, come to our show tomorrow and bring a friend or six. 

That's all for now, but check back soon!
