As you may already know, drummer Adam Monroe fled Richmond last April, temporarily, for seasonal work in Zion National Park.  That's him currently pictured on this MySpace profile!  That log had fallen and was crushing a mother bear, but Adam's quick work was able to remove the log and save her.  The mother bear was so grateful that she took Adam back to her den and gave him a jar of honey!  I think I still see some honey stuck to his beard.  Nice saw, Adam!

     Adam's departure came right after a zany 3 week tour and the recording of a smashing new album, but left the band inactive throughout the summer.  Then, as planned, Erin finished her second year in Richmond, and Jeff, his 17th. Perhaps feeling that Richmond's molasses pace was still a bit too fast, they moved to Bloomington, Indiana.  Jeff was happy to report that they are enjoying themselves in their new town and find themselves in good company!  Justin has been holding down the fort in Richmond, no doubt balancing his school and work schedule with fielding daily questions about the band.      

     In the interim, Jeff and Erin started working to produce the new Pink Razors record as their first release on their new label, Houseplant Records.  Recorded in early March, its genesis has been slowed by a few things:  a 3 week tour, a chunk of the record accidentally deleted, said chunk re-recorded, moving (on which Jeff commented "that shit takes a long time") and, in general, learning how to put out a record.  I'm happy to announce though that the record, titled "Leave Alive," should be available on 12" vinyl to us fans in Mid October, just before the Razors unite to play a show at The Fest 7 in Gainesville, FL.  "Odds of the Razors playing this date are 99%! Odds of us playing well, significantly lower," Jeff told me. 

     And finally, I was given a copy of the new album on the condition that I "don't play it for too many people yet."  I'm sure they won't mind my putting up just one song for you small group of loyal fans, so check out "Not The Wrong Son" here on Myspace!  I also added a deep cut from Waiting to Wash Up, the live-show mainstay "Summer Colds."  See you in the e-pit!
