what's YOUR band up to?

justinhedrick · July 18, 2011, 09:40:52 AM

mine is taking a break right now because our drummer had a baby.

meeting with the synth player tomorrow night to work on new songs for a 4 song concept EP that we are recording in the fall. bass player might be moving back to his hometown 2 hours away, so i have a new one lined up if that happens.

other than that nothing is going on with my band. what's going on with yours?

Löwe is playing with Cough on the 7th of September, Praying is playing on the 31st at a big local reunion show, and... playing with the Body on the 10th of Sept.... exciting.

justinhedrick · July 18, 2011, 11:04:22 AM

man, you are busy boy!

Slow · July 18, 2011, 11:37:52 AM

yeah, guitar in Löwe, and drums in Praying. It's kind of great.

Just practicing and writing new material. It goes pretty slow naturally, just because we're all pretty laid back people, but we've had a lot of delays and set backs this year so far. Injury, infirmity, family emergencies and the like making it difficult to practice regularly. It's coming along though, hopefully the second half of the year will go more smoothly and we'll be able to get a new recording out next year.

We are supposedly taking a break from playing shows so we can work on new songs. We are the least prolific band ever.

RAGER · July 18, 2011, 12:09:28 PM

My main band (The Black Budget) is on hiatus but I have been asked to play drums for a couple reunion shows with Members of the Press. Not sure if I will or not.

justinhedrick · July 18, 2011, 12:28:59 PM

is so nice to hear that other bands have so much life get in the way of music.

frank, i doubt you guys are the LEAST prolific band in the world . . . we are!

that's sucks. where are you located?

Transitioning to 2-piece because our bassist suddenly quit.

We'll see what happens. The material isn't really suitable for 2-piece, so hopefully this will be a temporary thing.

mortlock · July 18, 2011, 01:15:54 PM

things have been unusually slow this summer. a few venues here have been harder and harder to book gigs. i have had more bands than ever ask to help with shows and i cant do shit for them. which is very frustrating.

our big event is the experi-MENTAL music fest we are playing in august in brooklyn. should be a great time and hopefully makes up for the lack of shows over the rest of the summer.

if any of you are around nyc the first weekend of august..check it out.

Finished our EP a while back, but haven't gotten it to press (mp3s are up on our Reverb page). Played Love thy Chopper 5 on Saturday and killed it. Got booked to Denver Doomfest in December, but looking for shows to play before now & then!
