Hosehead Records

Hi reader.

Made a handshake deal with Hosehead Records prez Mike last night, and it was agreed that they will be releasing our next release on cassette. Little Ghost Recording Co. will do the CDs still. With amazing bands like First Base and Sonic Avenues on the roster, I can say I'm excited and proud. (This isn't insincerity, the First Base song "I'll Be Your Hangover" is one of my favourite pop songs of all time.) We start recording the next record this month. It will be called Dancing Days.

 Either that or Fuck Zeppelin.

Dancing Days

I've been very busy this summer with creative stuff, which is good for me.
We've been working on Sudbury '96 for about three weeks now and things are progressing well. It's going to take us all summer to shoot the thing and most of autumn to edit, so I imagine it won't be done for a while, but such a long-term project has instilled in me a bit of patience. Same thing with the oft-delayed tracking of the GIANTS record, which I think was supposed to start in March. We haven't tracked a single floor tom hit. That's okay though. It will happen. This patience has bled over into my attitude concerning The Big City Nights next record. I think we're going to just take all summer to record here and there in different places and on different formats and then put it out in August or so. I have a lot of material but no solid songs really written. I think that "Minimansions" will probably be on the next LP but aside from that, I really don't know anything except for the title, which will be Dancing Days. 
We play the Tiger Bar tomorrow which should be fun. I imagine we'll record some new songs sometime in July.
