LATELY,

we have been soo gosh damn busy! Recording EPs by the ton, playing park shows, it can get tricky to do things on the internet like updating one's blog. Doing so much stuff "IRL" it can be sort of hard to face the facts and admit that the internet is an important way of keeping your cutties updated, but now I'm glad to say that I've spent all day (inside) putting videos of last Saturday's saturnalia onto our youtube and vimeo for all to see!

And what footage we have! TSA smashed some hits like "Frustrated" and "Junkyard Riders" along with newer tunes like "Dionysian" and "DP Defender" (look out for the latter three on their upcoming EP, ROCKANALIA). Slow Loris made their live debut to such fanfare that the EGADS' Benji Dossetter actually used a can of PBR as a slide for my guitar! Great! and don't get me started on St. Mawr, who are just too god damned good for me to come up with funny things to say. See for yourself, with a nice live arrangement of "Turning into Nothing" and the classic "March 11th".

I'll have more videos up tomorrow: look forward to some TINKTURE, EGADS, MRCY HOT SPRINGS, HI HO SILVER, ST. MAWR doing some covers, and more!

Until then I'll let you know what some main cutties have been up to:

TSA stepped into the Dossetter studio on Wednesday and Thursday, July 29-30 to finish tracking five songs for a 7" that should be coming out when 2009 turns into 2010. Again, it's called ROCKANALIA: a call to arms for faded maenids and belligerent bacchae tryina thrash around to some punk musically inspired by the mid-90s early 2000s mission records scene and lyrically animated with gurpy philosophy and hellish visions of demonic infanticidal biker gangs. Cut Division is currently working with City Records (associated with tha boyz of FACE THE RAIL, TANKCRIMES, and SHANGHAI SURPRISE) to co-release the record, with artwork by the infamous Lord Wierd Frey-Fuck, a.k.a Josh Freydkis. If all comes together as planned, leave your calendar between 12/09 and 01/10 for a two month orgiastic celebration of this new EP.

yee then,
SLOW LORIS has also finished recording for its EP of impending release, MANEY DISTORTIONS. After it has been mixed and mastered to perfection and met a visually artistic counterpart that's maney enough, look forward to a release on this blog and music stores such iTunes and amazon: followed by a HELLA LIMITED edition release with a high-quality compact disks, personalized SLOW LORIS T-shirts, one-of-a-kind demo tapes, and more.

We'll have more-much-more for you tomorrow. Smell you then, friend.
