THE PATTERN REMIX CONTEST
Summer is here and that usually means long, lazy days with nothing exciting to do. Well, we've come along and created something that's bound to keep you busy. For all you out there who have the desire to put a new spin on an existing song, listen up. Have you ever wanted to step behind the mixing board and tweak what you're hearing? If you have a remixing hat, or are trying on one for the first time, we've got something going that we think you'll be interested in. Do you think you have the chops?
For the 'Find the New Pattern' contest, we're looking for a fresh take on one of the tracks from Syd's newest EP, "Upswing". Take 'The Pattern' single, find your own way through it, and send it to us. We want to hear what you hear, and see what you see in this tune. In the process, the winning remix will be made available for digital download via The Co-Op and Syd.
Here's the important thing: anyone can enter, it costs $0 and if you have Garageband or a slew of other free audio editing software, you have everything you need to enter. So don't be shy!
To send in your entry you must create/have an existing a Remix Comps account. Form there you'll be able to upload your entry and will be able to see a list of current entries a they are loaded to the site to check on your competition.
The contest is running now through the end of August and the winners will be announced right before Syd heads out on his Fall Tour. So, get out there and get those remixes working. We can't wait to hear what you've got for us!

SANTA BARBARA SHOW ADDED (*MAYBE FULL BAND?*)
We just added a show in Santa Barbara at the fantastic venue SoHo -- the last show I saw here was Martin Sexton and Chris Trapper, so I'm very excited to be joining Lee Koch there on August 18. There is a *chance* I'll be debuting my west coast full band. I'm doing some auditions right now and if we have our poo together, we'll play. If not, I'll be solo!
