Well, I do appologize for the delay but it is actually at the presses as we post. There was a last minute change to the liner notes for a name misspelling that was corrected which pushed it out about 3 days. We should have the discs in our hands in about a week and a half.
That being said, we have upcoming plans forming around several gigs now that the album thingy is done. One will be the CD release party which should happen sometime near the end of August. I'll be sure to post once we have the location and date. We will also be playing the Cave again (of course) within the next month or so. We have a corporate party gig that we will be playing for someone who inquired through David and a couple of gigs through the end of year at various locations. Possibly back to Raleigh Music Hall. When these gigs all get confirmed times/dates, I will post them here as well as under the gigs/shows tab on Reverbnation.
We started full band rehearsals again last night and I feel that for the first time, I can stop being so critical about myself and my songs and realize that I am doing this because I love to do it. I have spent alot of time and effort working on my songs. Are they the greatest things ever written...? Not by a longshot but they are good. I tend to beat myself up pretty badly over lyrics, vocals, etc. With time iv'e come to feel free to have more fun with it instead of getting bent out of shape over every nitpicky detail. Like Dempsey and I have said from the beginning, this has never been about money or ego, its because we love to do it. Once I get the first disc in my hands I think it will finally put the polish on a true sense of accomplishment for me and the band.
