posted by [david]

We are currently finishing up 3 more demos for the new record. We recorded the bulk of the music last week and are finishing up some mixes as we speak. After this triplet we have 2 or 3 more still in the pipeline. Let's just say that this ain't going to "short" record, hehe...

We are also excited to be playing at the grand re-opening at Trophy's here in Austin on September 9th. That will be the last show we play before we go into winter hibernation (a.k.a recoding). We hope to have the record out in January and we simply can't wait to get these songs to you guys. We will be playing some of the new material at Trophy's so be sure to check it out...
