Time to fill you in... The Voodoo Glow Skulls show went well. The kids had good energy and it reflected on us. Our set was cut fairly short, which was a bummer, but it was still awesome to check out some ska. On the 11th, we played at the Woodshed with The Past 10's and Kyle Whipple and both tore it up. We played our final show of the year the following Monday with the Assent. Both shows were a blast and we're way grateful to all those that came out.

We've started recording our upcoming album, Playing In The Background. We arrived at Steve's on Thursday at around noon and got started as soon as we could. We finished all the drum tracks that night. Yesterday, we did drum edits and then let off some steam afterward by improving songs and dancing like idiots with a few friends. We're working on guitars as we speak. Here's hoping everything sounds awesome. I'll update y'all soon.

Hey! We've been working on finalizing our songs lately seeing as we're hitting the studio in less than three weeks. It's so close! We're stoked. We've selected the ten songs we will be recording, ranging from our earliest material to songs we've put together in the last month or so. We've even been jamming with some friends to add a few surprise elements to the record. Ear candy.

The other night (Friday) we played a Halloween party at Fordham's with our good friend Kyle. We had a lot of people there who had never seen us before, but they all seemed to enjoy themselves, as did we. I totally wish there were no noise ordinances. We would've played all night. It's always nice to see four costumed dudes rocking out in a basement.

Anyway, I'll update this thing in a few hours. I'm listening to some ska right now to get pumped for our show in just a bit. Yep. We're playing tonight with everyone's favorite Mexican ska band, the Voodoo Glow Skulls! We'll be on stage in less than two hours. So I'm out. Take care, kids!
