It's been a while since we addressed the status of our record, Bad Luck.
By the end of this month it will be bounced down to half-inch tape by Chris Badami and mastered by Scott Hull (Elvis Costello, Bruce Springsteen, Meatloaf). Soon we will be launching a very specific campaign in preparation for the album which will include a brand spankin new website at trophyscars.com and exclusive sound clips from the Bad Luck sessions. We'll also be conducting some video interview footage and other wild shenanigans. Thanks to the boys at CatchOn Media there will be lots of new ways to experience Trophy Scars.
Jason Oda has completely blown us away with his artwork, and although we'd love to show you all of it - we can't... it's secret. Here's the cover though:
The track listing is as follows:
01. Bad Dreams
02. Botanicas
03. El Cowboy Rojo
04. Anna Lucia
05. Bad Winter
06. Geneva
07. Toronto
08. Nola
09. Years So Much
10. Good Luck
We are searching for a record label now and hopefully we will find one. If you own and operate a label or work at a label and are interested in Bad Luck - please get in touch with us... We will be sending out EPKs and physical press kits hopefully by the end of November.
We just filmed three songs from Bad Luck live on the Fox Television program, Fearless TV. The episode also includes some charming interview questions. ;) That will hit the air in a couple months - stay tuned for more info on that.
Also, we will soon have some new winter hoodie, shirt, and girl shirt (finally!) designs available at our respective webstores at MerchNOW.com and Smartpunk.com. They will be really sweet we promise you.
If you live in the area - please come to one (or all) of our upcoming shows. They will be spectacular and fun. We will be rotating through songs off of Bad Luck and some earlier stuff... and you might just hear a Tom Waits cover in there.
I promise the next update will come a lot quicker... I promise dammit!
