We have officially begun the recording of our sophomore LP, tentatively titled “The Gesture of a Gentleman.” We’ve recorded pre-production (glorified demos) of all the tracks, and will be recorded the ‘real’ versions in a ‘real’ studio next month. We’re totally amped about the new songs – we think you’ll enjoy the record!
And of course, keep an eye on our Kickstarter.com page for exclusive updates. There’s only 10 DAYS left in our campaign over there, so join us now if you haven’t already!
I’m just going to do this the corporate America way – by making a bullet-pointed list to get you up to speed on what we’re doing!
** Mark (drummer) has almost fully recovered from his injuries and is able to play regularly again. We rehearsed a couple of times last week and were then able to perform at the Grant Park Festival without any of his limbs falling off.
** We will be starting the pre-production process for our new record in the next couple of weeks. We plan to hit the studio sometime in mid-Oct, and the record should be done by the end of the year; we are aiming for a release early next year!
** The band will be starting an interesting project for Kickstarter.com in the coming weeks. This project will give our fans an opportunity to help us out in exchange for some kick-ass exclusive AFTTD stuff. More on this very soon.
** We will be documenting the process of recording our record, and will cobble it all together at the end if we all survive. Some bits will be released as web shorts, and the whole thing will become a DVD at the end.
** CJ completed his 30 Songs in 30 Days project at ASongEachDay.com – look for a few of those ideas to pop up as AFTTD songs in the future.
** We are excited to be playing 2 shows in Atlanta next weekend: 9/18 at Kavarna with Dare Dukes and the Preakness, and 9/18 with a bevy of kick-ass bands for the OtherSound Festival.
