REMEMBER

"falling over backwards", the
long-awaited follow-up to our debut cd, "see you in may"
is now in the mixing stages, with a scheduled release this summer
on main
man records. there are a lot of exciting
things happening over at main man and we're honored to be part of
the family.
"kiss
this - the main man records tribute to kiss" is now available
on itunes
and other online retail outlets, and our contribution, a cover of
"come on and love me", is included. we've heard that our
track is one of the more poplular from the compilation, which is cool.
visit your favorite mp3 site, search our name and you'll find it.
TRIBUTES
OUT THE WHAZOO
23:39 est wednesday october 3, '07
the rolling stones tribute, "get
yer wah-wahs out!", is now available at the main
man records website. our version
of "loving cup" is track 2.
charlie
& clint appear on a tribute to the first rush album called "lush",
performing "take a friend" with mike
spank on bass & guitar. it, too, is available now at the main
man records website.
WHERE
HAVE YOU BEEN?
23:42 est tuesday april 17, '07
yes, it's been over a year since the
last update. we don't have any excuses; it's just the way it is. since
then we've continued working on "falling over backwards"
with 3 songs mixed, 3 more recorded and another 4 waiting in the wings.
we've also found the time to lend our expertise to some tribute albums:
"this
ain't spinal tap" is a tribute to the soundtrack to the classic
film, completely recreated by bands from all over the place. we were
able to secure "gimme some money", probably the best song
of the bunch. there were only 150 numbered copies, and they may all
be gone by now. check the main
man records website for details and availablity.
"oh
well... whatever..." is another album tribute; this time recreating
nirvana's "nevermind". we picked "drain you".
it was just released today through the main man records website. it's
a limited edition of 100 copies, so get your's now! here.
a cd release party is scheduled for june 30 at buddies
in sayreville, nj. yes, we'll be playing.
lastly,
we're in the midst of recording a version of the rolling stones' "loving
cup" for a... you guessed it... rolling stones tribute cd, out
on main man records in july.
main
man records has been very good to us and have agreed to release
our upcoming cd, whenever it's ready.

welcome
to our redesigned website. we hope you're able to find your way around
easily. please bear with us while we move all our crap from over there
to over here. for now we've just got a few pages up and running, including
"shows", "biography", "songlist" and
"releases" (plus a special treat in the "media"
section). we apologize for this inconvenience, but we promise to make
it up to you by making all of our past recordings available in the
mp3 section... except "see you in may", which is still for
sale at cdbaby.com.
within the next week all of the tracks from "see you in may"
will be available as digital downloads at most of the popular download
sites (itunes, emusic, napster, rhapsody, yahoo music, etc).
rehearsals
continue for our sophomore cd, tentatively titled "falling over
backwards". we hope to start work on recording in the spring
for a fall/winter release. we know we promised to have it out early
in the new year, but unforeseen circumstances held us back from those
plans. we hope you'll forgive us.
