New Blog! ...that's fun right?!
Oke doke ...(pronounced "oak-doke" ....not "okey-dokey" ...I'm not a child.) So I'm trying to get this website running. Who knows how long that may take? But the point remains. So here it is. This is where you can find up-to-the-date news about YOUR favorite band you've never heard of. ...wait for it .... SLAM DUNK CONTEST! nice huh? So what's new? Well....

The EP is done! ...phew ...I know.
6 songs of pop-rock absurdity. more on that later...

I'm currently working with my main damey, Charles, on album artwork. I use "I'm" in that ...he's doing everything and I'm sitting behind him saying:
" Can you make me look more righteous?" to which he replies

" .....what?!"

"you know ....more ....rig ..make me look cooler."

"you're sitting on a purple float surrounded by pink balloons ...I don't have a lot to work with."

"....just make it happen."


"sigh"

that's basically our working relationship.
ps. I'm going to be on a float if you didn't know.
THE EP.
Ok ...it's entitled "You're Killing Me" and I have a handful of reasons for that. It is actually half of a chunk of music I wrote around the same time, or at least finished at the same time. It was during a time that I felt the Lord was "pruning" me, so to speak. It was an especially trying time but it was easily the most rewarding spiritual time of my life so far. I lost a lot, but I was given a different understanding of my God. During that time I felt like everywhere I turned a part of my life was being stripped and that He was essentially killing these parts of me. Granted they all were parts that needed to be removed and I was thankful then as I am now, but at the time it such a painful transition. The title literally comes from specific moments when, before walking directly into a situation I knew would be both terrifying and more than likely emotionally painful, or directly afterward; I couldn't help but look to the sky and mutter under my breathe "You're killing me...".
I suppose the content of the music is indicative of that time, (or maybe not ...I'm not great at writing lyrics). But the songs are meant to be moments, or thoughts, or just introspection on that time in my life. . . .or maybe I just needed a decent rhyme. who can say?

Ok enough fiddle-faddle. Once the artwork is done we'll be booking shows in (hopefully) late January and on. So stay tuned and we'll let you know when it's all going down. Thanks for stopping by. See you soon!
