We apologize for being out of touch since our last record “Strength in Numbers” 
and our last tour with Interpol, late ’07. We had decided after five records 
it was time for us to take a little hiatus and concentrate on personal lives 
and individual projects.
Here are our updates, Thanks to the fans who have stayed in touch,
and for the continued interest and support.

-TEAM CALLA


Aurelio Valle:
Since late ’07 I’ve curated an exhibit with Pedro Mena
and Julian Duff including several artists/musicians Lee Ranaldo, 
Nick Zinner, Lizzi Bugatsos. Contributed 2 pieces to the art show curated by
Erik Foss and Curse Mackey called “Draw”. Co-wrote and sang on a song
called “Testimony” with Daniel Collas and Sean Marquand of the
Phenominal Handclap Band also featuring Jaleel Bunton of 
TV on the Radio on guitar.
Worked on a soundtrack to a short film called “vamonos”
by Maurice Compte and Marina Valle.
The most recent project being a German feature film called “Zarte Parasiten” 
or “Tender Parasites” by Oliver Schwabe and Christian Becker. 
The film includes a cover a Yello’s “lost again” a complete original score 
and a song I wrote for Nina Persson of The Cardigans. 
The music is a of yet unreleased, I will keep you posted on this. 
I'll continue scoring and working on my solo record, i don't
have a time frame as to when it will be done but I hope
to have something out there as soon as It’s ready.
Thanks, best. 



Peter Gannon:
I have been producing and recording other people's music and projects. 
I continue to write and record as Mercova with collaborator
and wife Daphne Gannon with a periodic live show. Also, I have working on
video/sound installation with artist Ryan Glenn to be shown in 
San Francisco summer 2009.

Wayne B. Magruder:
Most of 2008 was spent working on my ambient
project "Highway Robbery". The album was constructed
using samples culled exclusively from an old found
reel-to-reel tape of a marching band competition from the
1970s. The CD, entitled "There's Always Light at
the End of the Tunnel for Those Who Squint as Hard as We
Do" will be released on Arena Rock Recordings in Fall
2009. The track "Dual City" from my "tenEcke"
project (featuring Peter Gannon) was used in independent
German film "Dr. Aleman" (directed by Tom Schreiber)
released August 2008. So far, I've spent 2009 at home
enjoying the company of my wife and newborn daughter,
Romy Belle.

It has been a busy couple of months for us. After a great European festival tour (except for lost luggage), we began work on our next album. We recorded in a few different studios in New York, and wound up finishing in Texas. The album is due for a February 2007 release. Details will be coming soon, as that is not very far away. Thanks to everyone who came out for the Europeans shows and more recently to the Bowery Ballroom. We appreciate all your kind words.

The video for "It Dawned on Me" has been nominated for Best Video of 2006 by MTV 2 show Subterrranean. You can vote for our video at http://sub.MTV2.com or try http://www.mtv2.com/..series/10897
