my dear friend adam hartling made a music video for me. it's around if you look hard, but it'll be promoted next week. adam was also responsible for the art to the 7". get yourself to noyes to snag a copy before they are all gone (and they will go).
the we need secrets/sea glasses split is in production. we're just sorting out the art now. it's going to be a good one.
the kestrels record finally got mastered today by JJ at golden mastering. it's a good record and i'm glad that it's finally finished. as with most things for me, it took forever. i think the wait was worth it.
union of the snake are busy as well. our first 7" is out and we're working on finishing 4 new songs for a 12" ep. we've only played a handful of shows in the two years we've been together, but it's really been coming together lately. we're flying to newfoundland in november to play 3 shows.
there's a live band for we need secrets now: jim macalpine on drums (my uots bandmate, also in the holy shroud, north of america, and vkngs), ron bates on guitar (the memories attack, homo duplex, orange glass), and chris thompson on bass (eric's trip, the memories attack, moon socket). we're going to play one show and one show only in december. it's strange because those guys were sort of heroes to me a few years ago, and now we're pals. with musicians of that caliber, the live show will be a good one.
other than that: reading beckett, watching the wire (again), running, buying guitar pedals.
