Yep. We're playing twice this coming weekend.

If you're reading this in your feed reader or on Myspace/Facebook, you can't really see it. But we've redesigned our Web site to merge our old site with our Blogger blog into a brand-new, Wordpress-powered wonderland. If you were a subscriber to our old blog, you won't have to change a thing. The feed remains the same. We've also imported all the posts from the old blog.

Posted using ArtistData - The easiest way for musicians to update multiple sites at once.

so after much debate and hullabaloo the bright men have offered up to you a taste of what we've been up to in the last few months of our semi-self-imposed hiatus. we've cleaned up the place and we hope you'll accept our invite to come by for a visit.

we've posted a track off our new john sears (grey ghost/carter brown) recorded EP. it's a three track disc recorded one afternoon more or less live to 8 track in our rehearsal space without much planning, effort or attention to detail. it was quick and fun and we think it shows. it was done quick dirty and simple from the recording all the way to the final product. a simple 3 song CD EP with homemade artwork you can pick up for a whopping $2!

we've also added a little taste (an early rough mix ) of a track off our upcoming 12" LP. mixing is wrapping up and we hope to have something in a warm vinyl package to put into your hands, should you be so inclined, by sometime after the first of the year. if you like what you hear, trust us, you'll love what ends up on the record even more! we've got 14 tracks in the bag so you can expect a few bonus tunes to pop up before long on our myspace page, stuff that might not make it onto the final 12".

additionally,  thanks to everyone who came out to our last show at rudz. our first in nearly 8 months!  best turn out i think we've ever had and of course a great deal of that is directly thanks to our buddies, the jonx and side arms who joined us that fine evening.

so drop on by, check out the tunes and say hi. we hope to be "getting out of the house" a little more now so we'll be posting shows as they develop.

thanks!

Steven Garcia is sick, so there's no Something Fierce, but I'll still get to see Ramon and the Linus Pauling Quartet play. That's really all I need. That and some Lone Star.

See you there.

The Bright Men of Learning have finally completed our first full length (second if you count Chasmatic's Kicker Wisdom. We're excited to finally let other people hear it. We've uploaded four songs from our self-titled debut to Myspace.com, where you can listen to them and iPod them or whatever.

 

There are eleven songs in all, but the hard copy won't actually be available until our CD release party at the Proletariat on May 13. CDs will be $5 at the show and $10 thereafter. We're issuing 100 copies initially. And we'll buy more if we're lucky enough to run out. Chris, our very talented and enthusiastic guitar player has also designed some CDs, buttons, and tee-shirts to mark the occasion. So we'll have those on hand as well.

 

Finally, I want to note all the really hard work Chris Ryan and Rene Cruz contributed. CR did a lights out job recording and mixing the record (with a little help from Eric Faucette). And Rene donated the superb artwork for the CD, and put up with all our changes and suggestions.

 

We hope you like it.
