Hei Everyone!  It's been quite a while since the last time I wrote a blog, so I apologize to those who actually read this.

I have decided to update this, because I have something interesting to share for once. ;P

This is my brand new Christmas themed song about...well...love and such.  Please, feel free to listen and share this with your loved ones if you like it enough. I'd appreciate the support!

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!





Thanks again for a great year!

Hei all!

Just writing quick to tell you that there is a BRAND NEW mix of "First Blood" UP NOW on the main page!  This is all VERY exciting, because this is going to be the first single from the album!  I'm not sure how long I'll keep it up, but I hope you will take the time to listen!

Let me know what you think, because there will be more like this coming soon on the album!  Be prepared for some mind blowing stuff!

More soon,

Nate

Hei all!!

I've just posted a new song called, "St. Annie!"  It's on the main page and it is the first of the new recordings for my upcoming TRUE debut album, "Casual Crisis!"  This is a big day for me, so I hope you will all take the time to hear what I've been working on. 

Strangely enough, this is the newest song that I started on and it's now the first to be done! :P

Here are the lyrics:


............

St. Annie

(N. Parent)


The party started late, I was the first to arrive

Some vinyl spinning fast, blasting off unknown vibes.

Strollin’ up right with a feelin’

Beat pounding, floor to the ceiling.


I’ve taken all I can, from these strangers soaked in sin

Talking quick just to get away from them

My eyes have seen enough to leave,

The neighbors shout out angrily


Oh, I’m guessing I should stick around. (my patience is wearing thin)

Tell me, is St. Annie still in town? (I hoped that she would drop in)

She left her number on, my phone and then she’d gone.

I hope she will remember me.


A woman enters quick, dashing into the fray.

With all the people ‘round, she didn’t have room to stay.

Her face is lost, too late to stare.

At the slight curves, red lips, and dark black hair.

Slowly, I am walking through the crowd.

Tripped up, spun left and right into her blouse.


Now, now!

Does she know?!

Oh no!

Well, here I go!


Caught-up in the act of seeming sly (our faces both drawn with lead)

She takes me up the stairs, I’m being shy. (I’m thrown right upon the bed)

Her soft bright eyes are all I see

I say, “Would you marry me?”

She tells me not to call anymore.





Hope you enjoy it!

More soon,

Nate

Yo!

So, I've been working my butt off in the studio lately with my three great friends: Ryan, Eric, and Wilson and we are close to finishing up some stuff!  :D  Now, when I say close I mean a few months away, but it's great news, because almost all of the bass and drum tracks are recorded and all that is left to do is...well...still a lot, but drums and bass were a hassle! :)  I'll keep you updated, but I will say that I have a few SUPER catchy songs in the works... ;)

For the most recent update:

Cdbaby.com has now updated their website and now allows for SINGLE SONG DOWNLOADS on artist pages!  What does that mean for you?  Well!  If you like my music, but you don't want to buy the entire album, you can just get the song or two (or three!) that you like!  It's better for me personally, because then I don't have to deal with iTunes and stuff.  Take my word for it, Cdbaby is the way to go! :)  Check it out below:

MY CDBABY PAGE!


So, for live show updates:

I will be performing with my wonderful friends Eric and Wilson LIVE at Bay Days in Ashland, WI (My hometown) the night of Saturday the 18th.  It is a Battle of the Bands event, so anyone in the area that shows up will be helping me out a lot! :)  I need the support.

The following day, I will be performing SOLO at 1 p.m.!  Be there and enjoy the (hopefully) nice weather!


That's all for now, so stay tuned and keep checking in to see what's going on.

I have also posted a newer version of my song "Dueling Hearts" on my page, so feel free to check that out.

More soon,

Nate

Hei All!

So, I'm writing a short message to tell everyone that I just sent off my first CD to be posted for Digital Download on Cdbaby's website!  It should be up there within a month or so and then it will also be available on iTunes and other digital resources!  I'll let you know when, but I'm very excited for this! 

It's my first EP which is titled, "In the Shade of Doubt", so I hope you all have had a chance to hear some of the songs already and will be up for purchasing it!  That way, I can keep working on the newer songs that I am hoping to put out on a full length LP!  :D

Thanks for the constant support all and keep up the wonderful comments!

Take care until next time!

Hei readers, (assuming anyone reads these)

There has been a lot
happening in the world of Nathan Parent! Two weeks ago, I opened for
two fantastic, Minneapolis based groups in Washburn, Wi at Stage North!
I was accompanied by my two good friends Eric Doane and Wilson
Holzhaeuser and we put on a smashing show! The video evidence is here: http://www.youtube.com/homey33 After we were done, we were followed by Chris Koza Band (http://www.myspace.com/chriskozaband) and Sick of Sarah (http://www.myspace.com/sickofsarah) and we were all blown away! Each group put on a fantastic show and I am proud to be able to say that I opened for them! :)

The
week before that show, I was able to pen a new song titled "Casual
Crisis" and it's shaping up to be a pretty cool song. Eric, Wilson, and
I performed that one for the first time live on the 5th and I put the
video on my youtube account. So, feel free to check it out. I hope to
lay it down in the studio soon!

As for my recordings, I have
nine songs now that I have mastered and ready for sale! All I have to
do is send them into CDbaby and they will be up for digital download!
:) Be prepared for that within the next few months. They will be on
what I am now calling the "In the Shade of Doubt EP!" :D I'm excited to
share this all with you and you can listen to a few of the songs on my
Myspace. (http://www.myspace.com/nathanparent)

Other than that stuff, I have been working a lot and booking gigs. I should have more to say next time.

Take care and enjoy the world!

Nate

Hei there!

It's been a while since my last real entry, so I apologize to those of you who care to read.

I have been very busy and I can't even begin to explain why, but be assured, I'm working hard on many things.  I performed live at my place of work the other week and I had a nice turn out considering there was a blizzard that day!  I recorded the whole show with the help of my wonderful sound engineer/friend, Ryan Rusch!  I should have some new tracks to share soon and an EP on the way! 

As of tonight, I have recorded a new song that I plan to have a special friend help me with!  I won't spoil the surprise just yet, but I will direct you to their myspace page:

My Partner in Musical Crime

Rest assured, the song is going to blow your mind!!!!  Haha!

I think that is enough for now, but I hope you will continue to check in and I will promise to have a link to purchase some of my music soon!

Take care and enjoy the coming Spring!

Nate
