mike — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 17:08:19 +0000

We’re extremely happy with our new EP, The Men East, and while it won’t be available to the masses until May 1st, we’re going to be making the songs available by streaming to everyone who visits our site.

Starting tomorrow, Wednesday the 10th, we’ll be putting a song up for listening each Wednesday over the next for weeks.

3/10 – Makeshift Container
3/17 – Canary
3/24 – Whenever
3/31 – The Men East

We have a keyboard player…welcome Dave!

Hey everyone, we finally ended our search for a keyboardist. Dave Cocozziello has joined the band. He’s also the drummer of Leave By Six. He’s quite good really.

Dave actually played our last show at Church with us and fit in great, so we’re looking forward to writing new material with him, rather than us just adding keyboard parts after the fact while recording.

So at our next show, say hello to Dave.

Well, as we’ve talked about before, we have been working diligently on a follow up to ‘Meeting People on the Internet’. That new release will be another 4 song EP titled ‘The Men East’. We’re quite excited about it all. We’re almost complete with the mastering and final checklist items. We’re working out the final details of the release timing, but it will be sometime in the next 2-3 months, depending on our show schedule.

Here’s the tracklist:
01) Makeshift Container
02) Canary
03) Whenever
04) The Men East

And after many revisions, the artwork as done by our own Jacob Halpern:

Great Scott Roundup: Joey vs. Bronchitis

mike — Fri, 22 Jan 2010 14:00:42 +0000

First things first, thanks to the bands who played (and played excellently we should say: Spouse, The Beatings, Parlour Steps), but most of all thanks to Ryan over at RSLBlog.com for putting together by far one of the best bills we’ve ever been a part of.

We’d also like to thank our lead singer Joe for powering through a bout of bronchitis to kick ass at the show last night. I understand it was a lot of over the counter drugs, cough drops and Jameson’s that got him through.

Also, there were more drunk girls dancing to our songs (and professing their love to those on stage). This is becoming a recurring theme that we would like to see continued.

And lastly, we played our first cover ever. Nate won the drawing to see who got to choose the first song. His choice was Rearviewmirror by Pearl Jam. We busted that out last night to end the show, which was a good time. I believe Jacob has the next choice, we’ll see what he has in store for our next show.

Next show: Feb. 24th at Church in the Fenway area of Boston. Until then, enjoy.
