Updates and Such…

To keep everyone up to date, here’s a short recap of what’s been going on:

1. Jon Anspach officially left the band about a year ago, due to a complications with time and work.  Jon was an amazing bassist and an awesome dude. We wish him the best with his future, and he is always welcome to visit anytime he wishes. For now Jonny has been filling in on the bass parts for recording, but we are looking for a new member so we can start booking more shows.

2. After buying our recording gear, and starting to officially record, we had an unfortunate turn when Jonny’s basement flooded. This flooding forced us to move from our “separate rooms” for recording, back into our “oneroom” condensed format we are at now.

Repairs in Progress...

3. Here are some photos of us in our small but comfy practice space at Jonny’s.

4. We have re-worked and recorded a number of songs, and we will try to post something soon for your listening pleasure.  Songs completed (or almost completed) are:

Newborn, Good Mourning Sun (versions 1 and 2), Celebrate,  and Shotgun Eyes
