New Single Recorded
The band just finished cutting two new tracks for a forthcoming 7-inch single at Mike Harvey’s , “A Little Fun” b/w “October Sun” (yes, that’s right – the song for which the debut CD is named, but which didn’t make it onto the disc). The tracks were recorded and mixed at Actiondale over several late night sessions this past week, and mastered by Mark Edmondson at South Moon Productions. The single marks the first recorded performances of the new band line-up, Chris Zogby on drums, Harry Dailey on bass, Buddy Speir on guitar and backing vocals, and Mike on guitar and vocals. Promo cassette and 7-inch vinyl versions should be ready by the end of the month – but if you can’t wait, you can order a limited edition promo cassette version on-line or mail order right now!
