Album 2: Day 3 & 4

Blogging about the recording of an album isn’t really all that exciting. You go in, you play your songs, you play some more stuff on top of your songs, you sing, you mix it a little bit, and that’s about it. In more entertaining news, we met the famous Lil Bub last night. She was squirmy and strange, and all together adorable. We, of course, took our picture with her, so if you start...

Album 2: Day 2

Day 2 started slightly hungover for a few of us. We went out and saw a few bands the night before, including Mike Adams & His Honest Weight, who were great in a Harvey Danger/Weezer/nerd-rock type way (Sean’s quote, “They were like Best Buy, the band”… but he meant it as a compliment). We spent most of our day tracking the remaining 7 songs live, because that’s...

ALBUM 2: DAY 1

As the work day came to a close, some of us rushed home to let out our dogs and tend to our cats. Others sped back to kiss our kids goodbye. There was no doubt: the four of us were gonna be away for longer than usual. 6 days, to be exact. One day of travel, 5 to track our newest record. A six-and-a-half hour drive, a forgotten air mattress, some equipment to load, a gas tank to fill, and a swift...

SHOW HIATUS/NEW ALBUM NEWS

So after yesterday’s blazing hot, storm-accompanied, pig-filled drunk fest, we’re officially on a hiatus from shows so we can finish writing our next album. We’re recording it in early August down in Bloomington, Indiana, again with trusty sound wizard Mike Bridavsky at the helm. His Russian Recording studio is a gem, and we can’t wait to get back there to lay shit down...

RIP Angel Busque

From our bassist, Monday Busque: “It is with a heavy heart that I must say that on June 8th, 2012, that my beloved sister Angelica Mary Busque passed away due to complications with her lupus condition. Please have her in your thoughts as she was one of the best human beings I have ever known.” Angel was incredibly talented, funny, sweet, kind, a lover of art and music, and a huge...

We’ve played with a whole slew of great bands (including Yuck, Hospital Garden, Lasers! and Fast! and Shit!, Screaming Females, and local rulers Big Mess, K.I.D.S., and Glossies, just to name a few), jammed some rad festivals, played our first out-of-town shows, and celebrated our one-year anniversary as a band. We’ve even managed to...
