the elusive third album

Posted by Charlie in music on July 14th, 2010

We spent some time this past week recording new tracks for some of the songs from our upcoming album. It actually seems to be somewhat complete now, so perhaps we will be able to share more news about that in the next few months. Craig is about to go on tour with his other band for a month, so there won’t be much happening again until the end of August.

cleveland show next week

Posted by Charlie in tour on July 1st, 2010

we’ve booked an impromptu show in cleveland next wednesday, july 7 at the grog shop. you should come! we’ll stumble through a bunch of songs you’ve already heard before. our dear friend patrick has just moved to portland, so a couple guys from craig’s other band are going to join us on guitar and organ during a few songs. it’s sure to be a mess!

this is the facebook event page if you just can’t resist that little “attending” / “maybe attending” / “not attending” thing.

This is going to come in super handy as we record the next album! Watch out.

golden rule 3″ cd in the shop

Posted by Charlie in music on June 22nd, 2010

hi hi,

I’ve just received five copies of the 3″ CD that I released as The Golden Rule last year on the German label Edition 59 (limited to 59 numbered copies). It has three songs, two of which are on the five-song EP, along with an exclusive song about the movie What’s Eating Gilbert Grape. I didn’t see the movie until just a couple years ago, and now when I see Leonardo DiCaprio all I can think of is Arnie.
