Happy birthday to our album! As of today, December 6, it is live on streaming services, downloadable, and arriving as an old fashioned CD! Take a look at our music page and visit the liner notes to get a preview.
And it turns out that tonight we’ll celebrate with a gig at Lighthouse Lounge (~9:00 – Midnight, 21+, $5 cover) here in Ogden. We’ll bring CDs as well as our live selves.
Maybe we’re a little too tied to our technologies and the information that’s stored all over the world in the semiconductors and wires that connect us. But once in a while this creates something celebratory. Just the other day I realized that our album is stored and primed to release on December 6, which means that the internet fairies all “know” our music. Since that includes Shazam, this meant that the magic elf inside my phone could listen to our music and tell us about it. That is, the robots all know about us.
And in a couple of days, so will all of the people. Or, at least you will.
We’re excited right now for lots of things, but we should make sure we highlight the most important, most exciting announcement first:
Welcome
to the world and to the band,
Elouise Ada
our apprentice drummer, born over the weekend to Ian (our extraordinary drummer) and Amy. Congratulations to the whole family.
Sure, we have gigs and albums and songs all coming out, but this is easily the most exciting and most adorable news. We can’t wait to have Elouise joining us along with Ian behind the drum set.
So, it turns out that we play Lighthouse Lounge in Ogden on Friday, December 6th. This is exciting for us for so many reasons: fun stage, good crowd, great setting, etc.
But it also turns out that December 6th is the day when (surprise!) our full length album comes out on all streaming services.
And, the delivery date for our real hold-in-your-hand-and-marvel-upon-its-significance CD is December 6th, too!
(We’ll host streaming links on our music page when they’re up, and I’m sure we’ll post an update here, too. Because we’re really excited, proud, and just generally tickled with the prospect of all this.)
So, it will be a release party. And we’ll play a couple of holiday tunes. And other things. We’re excited.
There’s a lot going on this month for us, but most of it isn’t out in public. We’ve hunkered down in preparation for things to come, and most recently we went back into The Proper Way‘s studio and recorded more tracks with Scott Rogers pushing all the sounds through the wires and into his big stack of boxes to make waveforms on the computer. Someday, soon, we hope we’ll have these all tied up with bows and loaded onto other formats so that you won’t just have to look at pictures of us making and listening to our own music — you’ll get to hear it, too.
