It’s been over a week since my last post, and I guess I just haven’t really had the drive to write, even though I do actually have some cool things to write about. What’s cool you ask? Well, Jay and I got to hang out and drink with GGGarth Richardson (Famed Producer of Rage Against the Machine, Chevelle, RHCP, etc), the boys from Ten Second Epic (Signed to Universal), and two of the guys from Portal (a kick ass local Edmonton band)… and it was fucking killer! The last few weeks has been a wild ride meeting so many amazing people, it’s truly awesome how this last month has panned out.

Lately with the band we have been spending a lot of time trying to find a proper jam space as opposed to some ones basement, but as anyone in Edmonton knows, finding a place to rent is a rather difficult task these days. I think we will either find something in the next week or else… it will be back to the basement, lame. Also, things on the recording end seem to be going pretty good. Jay and I are going to be scheduling a meeting with Kevin Hoskin, (Engineer / Producer / Member of Portal) who works with Bill Kennedy, in the next couple weeks to figure out details for cutting an album and or EP… we may actually have some new tunes out there in the next few months!

That’s pretty much it for an update, hopefully everything keeps moving forward at the rate it’s going cause that would be a very good thing. You should also go check out Portals new album at http://www.bloodredtape.com/ it sounds freaking amazing and I can’t wait until their CD Release Party at Jet in September.

And… that’s all folks.
