"HEY MCB! Would love it if you guys checked us out, imbedded us, or whatevs. We are a hard-working DIY band: no PR, book and manage ourselves, and so are looking for people who appreciate good music and the drive that it takes to make it happen.We want to let you know the latest news that our new Live EP, "Lay That Cable," is done!
As a follow-up to our debut EP "Chubby Dancer" in 2007, it was released on iTunes Tuesday, March 31st. We will be hitting the road on our first tour in support of it in April and May across the northeast, mid-atlantic and midwest, in addition to a slew of NYC shows - AND DETROIT ON 5/1! "
While we are planning to record our full-length debut later this year (of which "Supermarket" is the first single), we wanted to do something immediate that would capture the spontaneous energy of live performance in a controlled setting, and get something out there for people to hear without months of overdubbing and producing.
The sound is grittier and more immediate this time, and still has the melodies and grooves that we think will stick in your head.Like most of the projects we do, it was done for almost no money, spanned multiple mediums, and involved collaborating with the talented NYC geniuses whom we are lucky enough to call friends. We won The Deli Magazine web site's band-of-the-month prize in July, and with it, a day in Grand Street Recording in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.
So we went in with our pals Helge Bernhardt and Natalie Mooallem, who shot the whole thing on HD cameras, laid down three tracks, mixed them with Helge,
and later cut a VIDEO for the song 456.
Our friend Jason Whalen did the photography for the album cover. We also hand-made a PROMO VIDEO. We will be releasing videos for all three songs over the coming months. "
