Hello everyone,
This will be the first blog I have written for Blue Sky Down, or anyone for that matter.
I thought we as a band should keep the fine people of planet earth informed on what we are up to.
We have officially started pre-production for our second disc (The Character Assassination of Madilynn Easthope). The songs for this album are different from songs from the first album. They are heavier, and softer all at the same time, its hard to describe. If you have caught us live lately we have been playing the new songs and a bunch of the songs from our first disc, Radio Songs. Right now, Scott and I are writing about 80 more guitar parts to every song. There will also be more piano on the this one courtesy of our long time friend, Dragan Rusic. If you are one of the people that liked "Letters" from Radio Songs, you will not be disappointed in the new songs. If you are one of the people who liked the heavier songs you will not be disappointed either. We will keep you all updated on the progress of the recording process.
Here are the songs titles for songs from The Character Assassination of Madilynn Easthope:
- The Dining Dead
- An Empty Space
- The Character Assassination of Madilynn Easthope
- Air
- The Love I Hate
- I Want This To Be Over
- I Want To See Your Heart Bleed
- A Quick Lesson In What Not To Say
- Closer
- Amelia
* we are putting some final touches on a handful of other songs as well.
The writing process never stops.
We will be putting video of a few songs from one of our shows up soon, so be sure to check them out.
We have also been playing a tonne of shows lately. Playing live is the best part of being in a band, it's what its all about. Keep checking out our myspace for upcoming Blue Sky Down shows.
If anyone wants more details on Blue Sky Down, as a whole or on individual members, feel free to ask us any questions you might have.
Well, I'm not sure how long these things should be but I figure this is enough for now.
I hope everyone is well.
