Band break

I have to write. And take care of other shit. So the band side is on hiatus for now. New LP around Feb. or so. Different direction. New shows to follow. Should be fun.

Will figure out what to do with the now 3(!) unreleased live recordings.

Thanks to all who support.

Corey Derden

I have a recording of the whole show. It's fucking amazing. The other acts basically humbled me with their prowess. And the band brought it hard again as usual, so we sound great too. Thanks to Trey who developed this horrid huge blister on his left finger from the Upright. JD recorded this. JD and Stacey are wonderful people and great hosts.

ACOUSTIC
08/29/2008 08:00 PM - Avant Garden
Lineup:
Together we Are Instruments
AWAKE
Thomas Ayersol
J. Thelonious

J's first show and he did very well. Thomas Ayersol I had never seen live and it was a bang up job on his part. He parties in a way I really enjoy, listen or fuck off. Speaking of that, Together were the most together I've seen them yet. They get better every single time. And they were great when they started, so... We did good.
