So..... I've been avoiding updating with what's going on, because..... we don't all really know!
Neddal is back in NF. Me and Nicole and Alex are still working on Nice Cat stuff and hope to record some of that soon, and Alex is still working on Black Wolves material, and Liisa is still writing and gothing out.
Our U.K. connection tried really really hard to do up a release and just couldn't get the distribution necessary to make it worthwhile. It seems that the world economy along with digital music has hit small record labels pretty hard and, well, I have to admit: we're not very good at selling ourselves or actually hustling to release our stuff! We might or might not do some stuff with/for an Australian friend of Neddal's, but I don't know what's up with that!
So! The future of the Does? We're still here. (Or, well, some of us are here and some of us are there!) We still have new ideas. We want to do things, we're just not sure what. Neddal will be in TO again soon and we're talking about What Should We Do? I voted to record new material over playing shows, but that's only my personal vote. We'll probably take to the rehearsal room with a 4 track and do up some lo-fi stuff.
What will we do with new material? No idea! Any suggestions?
What should we do with our previous recording? It's got some awesome songs on it, some of which are, of course, on our myspace. We could probably send you a copy or some MP3s or something if you ask us!
