on this harvest moon

i believe in the moon!

there was such a stiring last night.
we tracked 4 songs in about 3 hours.
o boy does it feel nice to be in good hands.

tonight we begin work on a song temporarily titled "hush"

usually i have a title for the song and then the band has a speparate title.
"hush" was adopted because we sing the word several times.
but it's not very original. which is an ironic concern, because one of the songs themes is that there's nothing new under the sun. (side note: there actually seems to be some completely original ideas and creations under the sun... ie: the spaceship)

i started brainSTORMing for a diff title.
the song mentions the moon. and today is the "harvest moon"
turns out some dude already used that title. but hey, there's nothin new under the sun... or is there.
once in a blue moon, i suppose.

after further research it looks like technically this moon is the "hunter's moon"
which is also a common song title (just search the itunes store).

anywayz

sorry for the heavy verbage and lack of visual stimuli.
hopefully we'll get some pix goin on the next post.

feel free to post song title ideas in the comments!

tour 11/2007

so, we're back from our 2nd WeekendTour of the season!
it was sooo crazy!
we had 2 jam packed shows!! (jk... i don't even know what that means...)
but seriously, we played 2 shows with Earlimart.




one in Fresno, one in San Francisco.
Fresno show: nice, fun...kinda weird. some guy jumped on the side
of the stage, humping the air... i think i was the only lucky one in
the band who witnessed it--

S.F-- i would have to say this was one of our funnest shows.
i can't believe austin and robby came to the show w/ their friends,
all the way from LA...

now that's cool.

we also had Rotee deliver, so we ate naan, and masala after the show...
best food ever.
i can't believe brando was all trying to eat 2 naan....
[if you every go to S.F...you have to eat here: www.roteesf.com]


so anyway.
this was probably the best weekend of my life.

w/ love,
lisa cole.

rez a dent see

So last night we did a lil acoustic session at Indie 103 with Chuck P. of Dead Air. He was a real classy guy and we had a great time.
Photos to follow.








Then we went and ate Indian food. Quite possibly the best we've (I've) ever had. Joel was mad because his meal was like $20.
Here we are after dinner thinking we are really cool. Well, just Brandon is really.




Love. Us.

yes master

mastering was last weekend--
mark chalecki is the mad scientist behind mastering.

so now tomorrow (saturday July 14th, 2007) we will do our final revisions and print the master. then-- over the weekend we'll finish up the art (well, lisa will finish up the art while i check on her every 2 minutes saying "how's it goin', babe?")

so, most of castledoor got to see dr. dog play while they were in california.
they were great bearded musicians.
lisa and i waited in a "signing line" to meet them and felt like complete dweebs, and since lisa was nervous she made fun of one of the guys' sunburns.

oh- and we're playing a cd release show with Earlimart on Aug. 17th in santee monikee. should be fun.

okay, keep an eye on our myspace... we should be posting new music soon!
