A month or so ago, the band finished recording and mixing our third, yet-to-be titled album. We are really happy with the way it turned out - and will credit our friend and producer Mark Orton for not charging us a million bucks, but still making the record sound like a million bucks. You will hear it soon - as we are in the process of figuring out how and when it will be released. We are hoping for later this year.

What else has the band been up to? Well, during the creation of the album, Mark and his fiance Megan bought, and moved into a new house and had a baby named Max. Mark's house is what is sometimes referred to as a "fixer". While Orton toured with Tin Hat or worked on the many things that keep him busy (including our album) Jesse and Scott provided hours of unskilled labor to this project. Most importlantly, the two found time to instigate many arguments between Mark and Megan about whether yellow is yellow, or if yellow is antique white. Never get in the middle of a couple and their paint color choices!

Everyone has been staying busy, with fun and less-than-fun pursuits. Everyone is writing songs and looking forward to playing as Amelia soon. The next show is scheduled for August 30th at Sauvie Island. We will see some of you there and appreciate all of your support and interest!
