Things will happen now.

Going into the studio to mix the EP on July 25-26. Should be mastered by the next week and available for download/purchase as soon as that is done. Pressed copies will take a bit more time. This is finally happening.

The summer is getting hot. I am getting antsy. But that's ok because we are going to begin working with a new drummer this week. His name is Gavin and he also drums for a good San Francisco band called The Blacks. We played together once many weeks ago and it went really well - he learned all of the songs we sent him to learn plus he picked up on a new one we were showing him within 5 minutes. Very impressive and very comforting.

So now we will try to rehearse and get a 7-8 song set together so we can play a couple of shows to get into the swing of it. It will be interesting to rearrange the songs from the EP for a three piece set up as they were pretty much all written for a 4 piece band. The next few months may very well end up being a search for new musicians as well. A keyboard playing guitarist or a guitar playing keyboardist would be ideal to start with. We'll see.
