as i type, edward is dialing in his tone for julianne. it'll probably be the last song he tracks, as we are quickly running out of daylight, so to speak. the songs we have started sound AMAZING. mr. mike "p diddy" poorman is knocking this bad boy out of the park. i have yet to play a lick on guitar, but the sounds coming out of michael's speakers are already blowing my mind. when it comes to laying it down, he's got a bionic ear & robotic fingers, and you know, that always helps. i can't wait to hear the finished product. and i can't wait to share it with all of you all. keep the faith. we miss everybody.

with the help of mike poorman (ex-hot rod circuit) we're about to embark on a fabulous journey into sound, recording our next piece. we head off to vermont this weekend, by way of delaware, traveling in priscilla (our van), with mindy (our trailer) lugging the tools of our trade. next week will be intense, but hopefully enjoyable and worth the long drive.
we promise to bring the rock. and to all you labels out there, please stop bugging us. we'll send you the new sh*t when we feel like sending you the new sh*t. you'll hear it when everybody else gets to hear it.
right now, i've got some packing to do, some vocals to tighten up & some benjamins to count. hope to rock you soon.
