Well, it has been a while but we're playing a show on February 11th at Hole in the Wall. It is kind of an early show (beginning around 10pm) and we will be playing with our good friend Ryan Anderson and Ethan Azarian.

We are also still working on a new recording, it is coming along slowly but surely. Hopefully we'll have something to show for it here on our page in the near future.

Thanks,

the channel

It has been a while since anything new has come out of the Channel camp, but lately it seems like things are getting stirred up and there are going to be some recordings to show for it in the near future.

Not only is the Channel about to dive into recording but some other projects the guys (and girl) are involved in are looking to record soon as well, so be on the lookout for those too.

We'll keep you posted with any news or details as they arrive.

Thanks!

This week's Austin Chronicle was kind enough to include an article on C-Side Records, our friends Golden Bear & The Channel! The article was written by Austin Powell and can be viewed here:

We hope you enjoy it!

The Channel

Performed by the channel Dec. 9th at the Parish...we hope you can all participate!

We're happy to say our 2 in 1 cd "Tales From the 2 Hill Heart/Sibylline Machine" with beautiful artwork by Lisa Marie Godfrey, is now officially released!  Please stop by www.c-siderecords.com to listen to the album for free, and to have one mailed to you!  There are many reviews available on the C-Side website too (if you put stock into those types of things) and we are in the process of updating the songs here to be a sample of the new stuff only (for now).  Thanks for all your support, and we hope to see you at our upcoming shows in support of this endeavor!
Thanks again,
Brent

Hello friends,
We receieved the new cds in the mail this week, and we're very happy and excited about them! They will be released in early August on C-Side Records, promotion will start next week and continue on through the summer. The name of the cd(s) is "Tales From the Two Hill Heart/Sibylline Machine," and consists of two complete LPs. We will have copies at our shows over the summer, but other than that, they won't be available until the official release date (unless Matt over at C-Side decides to make them available through the internet). Anyway, thanks for reading, and for your continued love and support!

just thought we should do a little 'splainin'. we've been on a bit of a haitiuscorpus. andy and heather are now married (woohoo!) and living in kentucky, where they've been for a combined year or so. they will be moving back to austin in may, where the channel will do some long overdue catching up. a new lp is planned to start progress at that time, and should be finished by the end of the year. in the meantime, colby, andy, jamie, heather, and brent all have been writing and recording demos, each to their various extents. anyone who'd like to have some of this material for their listening pleasure should contact our friend matt at c-siderecords@lycos.com.
also, the main website is down, and was pretty out of date anyway, so we'll be working to get that fixed too.
ok, thanks for reading.
