So check it, peeps.

Jake has a new rock band, lovingly dubbed "Where Sails Meet Rails"

If you are in fact, interested in continuation of rock music straight out the mean streets of Tacoma, then do I have a treat for you... Link by the TSiP top friends.

Thanks.

Jake

Well I suppose it is my duty to inform you, in case it wasn't clear already, that TSIP isn't playing any shows anytime soon. I told people for a while that I wanted to call it a "hiatus" but it becomes increasingly clear that this hiatus will last a very long time, and if we ever do play again, the lineup will be different.

But it was incredibly worthwhile while it was around. I want to thank anybody who came to our shows, listened online, or showed any interest at all.

If anyone is itching for more from those of us still writing and performing, I will refer you to Jake Westhoff's and Joe Izenman's respective solo projects. Should be easy enough to link to from our top friends.

Cheers.

So we're getting some spins on KGRG 89.9 fm, which is quite rad. This is a super amazing stroke of genius, this radio machine! If you so desire, you can call and request This Shirt is Pants on said station.Their request line is (253)833-5004.

Also, more shows are in the works. Adam is going to Thailand for the better part of March though, so it may not be until April. As soon as we have details, they will be up on this website, as well as www.thisshirtispants.com. So stay tuned, dudes and dudettes!

Much love,
Jake

Almost through with recording. We're going back in for two hours this evening to do a final mix on the three songs we laid down yesterday, after which we should actually have something to post as proof of rock.

Anyway, until then... pictures!

Thanks a lot to Kevin for photographing us, even through the ridiculously dark environment of the studio.

It's official: This Shirt Is Pants enters the studio on Sunday, January 21st. Which means that by the morning of the 22nd we'll actually have, yes, ROCK songs posted up here. Not that we don't all love N-O-E-S-C-A-P-E (we really do), but that's a Jake solo song with our help, and not a rock song of the sort that This Shirt Is Pants expects to become known for.

We'll be recording at the previously mentioned Pacific Studios. Probably come out of that day with a solid three song demo (most likely When the Night Comes, The Ocean and Single Bullet Theory), with the intent to later drop those three songs into our feature-length debut album, whenever we scrounge together enough money to record even more songs :).

All this, combined with our first show two days later at Studio 7 in Seattle mark this month as a month of rock, and the beginning of something awesome.
