A Brief Treatise in Land Ownership

We have currently finished recording our new EP at Short Histories central, and, after some technical loose ends that need to wrapped up, we will be shipping everything off. Keep your ears and eyes peeled, because more news will be thrown at you as it develops. It is also time for us to start playing more shows, so check out the show updates at our myspace page.

New song, new EP

Shawn — Wed, 29 Oct 2008 19:56:41 +0000

We have just finished recording a song for a new EP, and have another couple recordings that are being worked on right now, too. The rough mixes for the EP songs are on our myspace, and the incomparable Rogan is doing the artwork.

Also, make sure to check theFourFour.com regarding their upcoming festival/band crawl on November 15. There will be 9 venues and 45 bands. We are playing at the Outland at 9:00, and you can just pay for our show, but you should buy a wristband for just a few bucks more. Go to theFourFour.com

Show tonight, new song

Shawn — Tue, 17 Jun 2008 17:34:38 +0000

Hello, we are writing to inform you of a great show tonight at the Outland Ballroom. Gumbi, Ghost Towns, El Minotaur, Las Cruces and us. Go to our myspace page for information about our upcoming shows (of which there are many great ones), and a BRAND NEW recording of Sunspot Letters. Also listen to the new recording of Fascin if you haven’t.

The Happenings

Shawn — Thu, 08 May 2008 20:16:23 +0000

We are recording right now, and we are five strong (Chris, Danny, Erik, Logan, and Shawn for those of you keeping track). We have the first nearly-finished track up for listening at our myspace. We are playing at the Ballroom on May 22 as well. Look out for an upcoming album and some SHOPN sprees.

What’s happening right now

Shawn — Thu, 31 Jan 2008 16:59:30 +0000

Right now we are breaking in our new bass player, Erik, formerly of Black Market Momentum and the John Galt Line. We have played one show with him, and it was great. We are playing March 3 at the Outland Ballroom with Mustangs and Madras (Denver), the Gunshy (Chicago), El Minotaur, and mcgill, and with Dead Commuter (Wichita) and El Minotaur at Grandpa’s House (675 S Kimbrough Ave) on March 29. We are going to start recording hopefully soon, and even more hopefully put something out on vinyl. For updates on our show schedule, check our myspace.

Thanks to everyone (especially Kelly, Kyle, and Gene) at the Cannabis Revival. It was great. Come check us this Saturday at the Outland Ballroom with Washington Irving (ex-Bogart and ex-Victims of Telephone), Architects, and Wildcat.

And, as always, show dates and music at the myspace page.

Shawn — Tue, 17 Jul 2007 17:41:47 +0000

As a little prelude to the proper CD, we are putting out Binariac version 1.0. It is available exclusively through us, and is limited to 60 copies. Upgrades and new versions may be available in the future. Check us out tonight, July 26 and 27 at 675 S Kimbrough for more information.

Coming along

Shawn — Mon, 18 Jun 2007 17:37:52 +0000

We have the drum tracks (aka the hard part) done as far as recording is concerned. Now we just have to do every other part. The Andy Dufresne Chrises are starting a house venue, and we will be playing there June 27 and July 17. Go to http://www.myspace.com/shorthistories

Keep checking back, and we’ll keep delivering the news.

Changing Times

Shawn — Tue, 01 May 2007 14:31:35 +0000

Here’s what’s going down in our world now. We are currently a three piece. It still is Danny and Shawn, and our friend Jason (Kaneda, Floob) is our new bass player/vocalist. This is a pretty solid line up, and 0ur old bass player Derrick has assumed the role of audio engineer/producer quite nicely. As soon as he receives a mixer that is on the way, we will start recording our new album. There are some upcoming tours and whatnot in the works, too.
