other news...

Dot Dot Dot & other works - this is a lyric book, with scans from my note books, and folders, including the words to songs by Meet Me in St. Louis, Push to Fire, Shoes and Socks Off and other bits and pieces. last week i received the 'proof' back from the printers and it looks AMAZING. we OK'd it, and it will be with us in about 6 weeks. everyone who buys a copy will also receive 10 new demos, each of which was recorded in a different location while on tour around Europe in February.

in more other news, I have another band called Love Among The Mannequins (formerly Amateurs), and we have just finished our first rekerd. it's all pressed and in boxes and will be out in October. for an advance copy, come to any of the shoes and socks off/hymns dates above. to listen to a couple of songs, go HERE.

some more news... I have another project called Venison. we are recording a few songs next week, and they will be up to stream/download as soon as they are done. hard copies will also be available at any SASO/LATM shows, and probably some Talons shows... gonna burn a million CDs and leave them laying around.

Foe have been recording an album, probably gonna be mint, if the demos are anything to go by... I also heard some of the new Nitkowski rekerd... heck me....
