Updates

Dear internet land Just wanted to post an update. We’ve been working hard to get out of our current recording contract, and it looks to be just about resumed. We’ll be building a new website, regrouping a little, and then releasing our new record “Spider Season” as soon as we possibly can. It’s looking like an October-December tour may happen, and we hope to...

New Myspace blog

I have just posted a blog on myspace, however, I am confused…Are there actual people on Myspace? Every day we get spam from bands and comments from scantily clad women. I fear that Myspace is a veritable ghost town of friend adding bots and porno site outreach branches. So here is the blog again for real people: We are finishing a new record which we are calling “Spider...

UPDATE ON OUR CURRENT STATUS

It’s being mixed and mastered currently, and will be coming out in March of 2010. In the meantime we will be doing some shows and some tours and working on a few other...

Siwashing it out once in Siuslaw Forest

“I slept under rhododendron All night blossoms fell Shivering on a sheet of cardboard Feet stuck in my pack Hands deep in my pockets Barely able to sleep. I remembered when we were in school Sleeping together in a big warm bed We were the youngest lovers When we broke up we were still nineteen. Now our friends are married You teach school back east I dont mind living this way Green hills the...

The Silent Years' Update!!!

We are currently working extra hard on a new record which we’ll be recording in September. There is no working title, however, some song titles include: “Wolves Eating Children”, “Lovers With Dirty Hands”, and “Alone Time” I really can’t wait for everyone to hear it all. It’s a bit of a departure I’d say. How is everyone out there in Cyberland? I know people are going to read this, but I...

Daytrotter.com & Tours

our Daytrotter.com session went up today, which means that there are 4 free tracks for download at any time from now until the internet ends. We are getting excited about going on tour…every time we are getting set to leave for a tour, it seems like it couldn’t come at a better time for all of us personally and musically. This is a lucky thing I would surmise. Hope to see as many of...

Has anyone ever been curious about what exists at certain web addresses? I recently typed in jesuschrist.com and found, among other things, a $250,000 reward for anyone who can prove that evolution doesn’t exist. Can anyone help me with this? I could really use the $250K, and while it is absolutely the dummest thing ever to believe that evolution is not reality, I think that for the money...
