So I was reading Sandy Carson dot com when I read about how my band’s new record is for sale. I hadn’t actually heard that it was officially for sale yet, so it was news to me. Sandy shot the photos and did all the layout and design of the record itself so I guess he had the inside information. We are all really happy with how it came out. Its on orange vinyl and is a split record with 1 side belonging to the Snake Trap and 1 belonging to Transmography. If you don’t have record player (get one) it also comes with a CD of the tracks plus bonus tracks from each band. The Trap’s bonus tracks are a few unreleased songs and 1 live one. You can order them from Australian Cattle God Records.

Should I feel weird about schelping stuff on my blog? Ha…. I think you should also buy Odyssey parts, Giant Bikes, Bicycle Union Gloves, and Fender Guitars. Oh hell, you can buy my house too!

The Snake Trap played last night in Austin. It was a really fun show for me. We played some of our newer stuff and it felt like we were all pretty “on” and operating like a real band. Good fun and its had me happy all day. We recently recorded a few songs for a new LP that will be coming out in a month or so. I made a little video of the recording session for one of the songs. Probably not the most exciting way to watch a band play because in the studio you’re trying to hold still and make sure you get every not just right. I’m not a video maker and don’t have a good camera, so excuse the quality please. The song is still in the rough mix stage too, but you’ll get the idea.

My little brother back in Michigan quietly released his second album. I didn’t really know he ever put out a first album, but you can download it for free here. I’m proud of the kid for putting in all this work and doing this all by himself. It’s quite impressive.
