Current mood:  cheerful
Our second full length record, "My Roaring 20's," is coming out in just a few weeks via Paper + Plastick Records. It has 10 songs in a little over 27 minutes.
We began recording the record with Rick Johnson (as always) at the end of February, 2009 just before we left for a tour. We were able to record all of the drums and bass in a few days and then we had to leave for 3 and a half weeks before we could do any more. Once we were home, we finished it in Ben's basement, Rick's apartment and Rick's new studio. A couple weeks later, we re-finished the record at Rick's studio. After that, he mixed it about 6 times. Some could say we were a bit "prissy" on this one. Either way, we're incredibly happy with how this record turned out and I think all 4 of us involved really kind of surprised ourselves. That's a good thing, right? Right! Thanks, Rick. You're a great sport and we can't wait to make another one.
After all of that was wrapped up, Jeff Rosenstock did the artwork (he did our first LP as well). We mailed him a shit ton of pictures we found in my parents basement, including my parents' pre-children German Sheppard named Biff posed in funny situations and my father dressed as Gene Simmons for Halloween '77. He did a great job. You'll see.
Anyway, the tracklist is as follows:
1. Sunnyside 2. Ft. Lauderdale 3. Hey Hey, I'm Worn Out 4. I Had A Motorcycle 5. Sleeping Weather 6. Something That I Need 7. Modern Faces 8. Lab Technicians 9. All My Clean Friends 10. One & Four
As of right now, it's supposed to come out on Tuesday, October 6th but who really knows how firm or realistic release dates are these days. We've been talking with Vinnie about all of the crazy vinyl options so it should be pretty interesting, visually speaking.
So, we put up a new one called "Hey Hey, I'm Worn Out."
We'll be doing some release shows around the begining of October followed by a four week tour afterwards, including our stop at the Fest in Gainesville, FL over Halloween weekend. Can't wait.
Yours, Ian/CG
