Let It Eat


5/19/2008

happy mondays, %USERNAME% : sup yalls. sorry no news as of late. been busy making hit records, starring in summer blockbusters, and been busting our collective ass to get the record finished so we could focus our energy-rays upon the Japanese tour film we foolishly decided to undertake. it's rough work, but should be a good watch for fans and friends. maybe also for the uninitiated. we shall see.

yes master : our new record, henceforth entitle Tragic Boogie, is being mastered this weekend at the Blasting Room in Ft. Collins, CO., by one Jason Livermore. Jason mixed 8 of the 12 tunes on the Boogie and basically turned the badass knob up to about 116 on the whole thing. Eric and i mixed the remaining 4 tunes at home in the Dungeon after the mix sesh with Livermore. all turned out really well, we think.

still aren't sure who'll be releasing Tragic Boogie, but have had nice offers and good conversations with about 2 handfuls of labels. when we figure it out, we'll be sure to send out an APB (all points bulletin). anybody with wheelbarrows of cash are urged to call in.

mui pica : our spanish bros Nueva Vulcano, with whom we created a masterful split CD/LP you may recall, will be joining us on a west coast tour this july, in an attempt to sample gas-price-gouging on a wide scale basis and find out how it's really done--Cali style. we're hoping to have the Japanese tour film as a nice stopgap measure to sell on tour until the Boogie comes out. dates below. i'm into you.
