Thankful...

While we were resting up, getting fat and being thankful, iTunes put the Paper Dolls EP into rotation and we confirmed our last Athens show for 2009. Thanks to Troy Aubrey and Mercer, we've been added to the bill at Tasty World on Monday, December 7, at 10pm. This is an 18+ show and we are first of three bands (perfect for finals week). Stay tuned for more details after the holiday weekend.

If you are as terrified of Black Friday as us, take a breath and buy Paper Dolls on iTunes. Then relax and give yourself a well deserved nap. In the meantime, know we're extremely grateful for your support and wouldn't be here without it.

Happy Thanksgiving to all our US friends.

Family

I'll admit it. I feel like family with this band. We've been together a short period of time and I know that I'm stuck with them as they are with me.

Sheldon and I had a fun weekend that ended up with a 2,500 pound bull charging our vehicle and us making a masterful plan to escape. Had we not, we may be bull food right now. The first thing I wanted to do was tell the story to Josh and Adam and Sandra (Susan, my wife, was there to witness).

Adam and Sandra are leaving town and I miss them already. Josh is a short hop away and I already want to give Sheldon an undeserved hard time despite a few hours apart.

I really hope to see everyone this holiday. Apparently this is more than a job and I can't wait until 2010. Never more excited to see what the future is holding.

Outside In!

Listen to 100.7 this weekend, we're going to be on "outside in" all weekend! The first show is at Noon this thursday, then like 8 more times till sunday!! We'll post the whole schedule as soon as we get it!
It's an hour long radio show with us live in the studio, and interviews between songs. Be sure to tune in!!!

I'm 'onna make this quick. We've had so much good news in the last couple days that it's downright silly. Seriously.

Ya'll standby. We are humbly getting into something good here.

The Melting Point

We opened for Marcy Playground and had a great experience from it. Wish you were there if you weren't!

Wet Sounds

Somehow we made it through the monsoon and basic tracks are in the can. The drums are damp after loading out but our spirits are far from it. It feels really good to feel good after a recording. Regardless of where those digital bits end up, those are rare moments that are, well, recorded. Forever and ever. I'll remember this rain. And the good day with everybody. Stoked to hear what the rest of the band layers on top over the coming days. Really good songs.

I can't sign off with out a shout to Kip Conner, Sound Engineer for Shawn Mullins, Matthew Sweet and Dayroom...among others. We've been lucky to grab him on off days and gain some serious knowledge while making some really great sounding live shows. He keeps hanging around. We won't stop him. It's just that simple, sometimes. Thanks, Kip.

Drum tracking madness!!

So were gearing up to lay down some drums today! Hope to get "told you so", "a refuge" and "social heroin" tracked. Our main man Kip is bringing his skills too, so its gonna be fun. I'll try and record some iPhone video (the band still has not managed to get a hold of a real video camera..) of Brad beatin' em' hard. Were recording in a great room in Sandra's brother Orlando's house in east atl.

I never thought I'd say this...

I really don't have a follow up to that Title. I just became aware of this.....

So yeah. I didn't know what ourstage was until today. Now I see we're #5 out of 2,500?

Great songwriting, Adam and Sandra. And, yes, new drum tracks tomorrow....for new songs and stuff.

Seed,

Nappers

Just woke up from a late days nap and is now ready to make the rest of the night productive. I'm sure a cup of coffee will be extremely helpful. It's 5:47pm EST and it looks like it's 9pm outside. I guess that's what you sacrifice with long naps during the day.

New song in the work, I think you fan will dig it! I dig it and it's a song to dig. I can't wait to play again and I hope all is well.
