castledoor back in the stooodio

we started recording our new song.
you'll all hear it really soon! of course, we're all really excited about it.
we've been busy working on new music and talking with label peeps, good things are happening and we can not
wait to go on tour and record more new music and get it out there.

here are a few pics from yesterday.
we will try and keep this thing updated...even for our sake, to keep track of all we do :/

Invisible Children (& a new free song!)

ok so here's the deal...

On April 25th, non-profit INVISIBLE CHILDREN will be staging a global event in an effort to rescue the 3,000 child soldiers in Uganda, and we are part of a coalition of bands/musicians creating awareness online to make this a huge success via Biggestlabelever.com and Causecast.org.

In support of The Rescue we are giving away a free download of our song "Hidden Treasure" on BiggestLabelEver.com

go to the site (i think you need to create a login username/password), click on Free Music and you'll find us under the alphabetical artists list, then click Get Track. a short video will play, once it's finished you will be able to download the song.

This song is one of our personal fav's and has become a live favorite for fans as well. It will be featured on our new record Shouting At Mountains out on iTunes April 21st!



p.s. in other news...
just put in an order for castledoor tote bags (gonna start makin' the merch happen like a rurl band!)

Castledoor March Tour 2009!

morro bay

i have an obsession with the coast of northern california.
i've only spent time there on a handful of occasions, but
each time has been rich. just simply making the drive up
the pacific coast highway, or even inland on the 101 is an
experience that makes you think hard and ache in a good
way. at the moment, the way it looks and feels to me is
how i want the music to sound. i don't always aim for
that when writing a song, cause the songs kinda choose
their own personality in a way. but anyway--

last year lisa and i went to morro bay, which is actually
south of monterey. we have a song on the new album
that's sort of an ode to both locations.
below are some photos of our time in morro bay:
