New Song: Whenever

The third and latest in the Men East EP Series of releases is Whenever.  This is an older song of ours that has always been a fan favorite, so we wanted to finally put it to tape (or the computer, technically).  Hope everyone enjoys…

New Song: Canary

Episode 2 of our The Men East release odyssey is ‘Canary’.  While this is a song we’ve been playing for quite awhile, we never had the recorded version we really wanted…until now.

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.
