project buff buff

for the past week and a half we've been working on Buffie's record. she's a good friend of mine from college and is out here for two and a half weeks to make an album with us. basically, tommi (drums), jimo (lead guitar), and i (bass) are acting as her backing band, and we spent the first six days with her rehearsing and learning her songs. this past saturday we started laying down drums, and after two days we have drums, bass, and rhythm guitar for five tracks out of the nine done. we're currently a little bit ahead of schedule, but i'm still imagining that it will be a tight crunch to finish recording, as we only have eight more days to finish before she leaves town. after that we'll have a couple weeks to mix, and she'll take it from there! i do believe she is open to entertaining offers from record labels, so if i must say so myself, aside from the powerful vocals and strong songwriting, her record is going to be awesome.

our new record TINNITUS will be available on all the various MP3 stores starting Tuesday January 5th. it probably won't show up on itunes or amazon until a bit later, as apparently the lead time for these things is 2-4 weeks depending on the retailer. but we made jan 5th the official mp3 release date since that's corey's birthday, so happy birthday to him and his big broken ankle. skateboarding accident xmas day, haha... so if yr the type of person that is inclined to purchase MP3s, the album will be there in that medium for you to purchase and then pirate accordingly! for all you normal people, the album is still on track to be here in late January on Vinyl and CD. we should be getting our vinyl test pressings next week, so we're super excited about that!
