Mastering is done!

We mastered "Sinking Fast" at Waltz Mastering in Watertown and Tom Waltz did a great job with it. We have never heard our tracks sound so warm, lush, and loud. Now we are on to completing the artwork and getting it ready for production. Our hope is that we will have it completed by the New Year.

New album out soon!

We are putting the finishing touches on "Sinking Fast" and will be
mastering it in the next few weeks.

More at the Middle East

Danielle, sitarist supreme, took these with her cellphone, then did something weird to them--nice!

Live at the Middle East, Cambridge, February

Alex, ace photographer, shot these pics of us in February, supporting Ai, who are very cool.

Mini review in Boston Globe

Here's a notice/mini review in the Boston Globe, which came out in time for our Recital Hall gig. Nice! It's great that someone there actually listened to the album and made some relevant comments. Pity we didn't play "Blue Kentucky Skies" at the gig, but that may be nitpicking. By the way, we have an excellent live video from the Recital Hall which we're editing, and will post soon here. Check back soon.

Coming Up - November/December 2007

Well, we're gearing up for a whole string of gigs, including Mayor Kim Driscoll's fundraiser (thanks to Dinah Cardin), the Salem State Recital Hall (thanks to the SSC music department, Gary Wood and Nick Giarrantani), Gulu-Gulu and Bangkok (hi Mary). We now have enough music, that we can play a more ambient set at Gulu and a dance set at the Bangkok. Plus, we've got a brand new 12-15 minute song called "How Long"--why don't we know how long it is? Because like all our stuff, we're improvising around loops, and if it's going well, we'll extend any section until we feel like moving on. If you haven't ever seen us, it's definitely different from most stuff around. And since this is our blog, we feel free to thank our friends, Scotty, Melanie, Cindy, Katsumi: all our supporters--too many to mention. And you can comment on this blog too--just hit the comment button. We'll see you soon.
