We set a recording date for July. Have been playing 2 new tunes at shows: "The First Time" and "End of the Line"... perhaps nice bookend titles for a new project. Hope to have 5 songs done in time to record in July. Other songs being worked on include "There is Only This" and "Small Town Rodeo." Have also been considering re-recording a couple of the tunes off of Ways of Letting Go.

Nick is going to Europe for a couple weeks. Way cool. Have fun, man.

For those who haven't noticed, we're a 3-piece again lately, with Nate having departed the band. But not to worry, there are some very cool things in store for us as a power trio. It will be a tighter, but maybe even bigger sound when we fully debut the setup on August 1 at Walnut Room. I am very excited about running my guitar rig in stereo. Early testing has resulted in an awesome surround sound effect with plenty of delay.

I am incredibly grateful to those of you who come out to see us live. Hopefully you enjoy hearing us somewhere close to as much as we enjoy playing to you.

We're looking for bands to join us in August for that show. What kind of stuff do those who come to see us like? Mellower openers or some more rocking bands? We want our shows to be enjoyable the whole way through for those of you who come out to see us and hang with us.
