Blogs are hard
Not really, but I do seem to be neglecting this one.
The big news is that since I last wrote we've completely tracked our fifth full-length album!

In July and August, Steve Fisk visited us in KC and we rocked Westend.
The new album has 12 songs on it. I don't know what the track order will be, but the titles are:
Here's some pictures of Laurel Parks and Sascha Groschang making up amazing musics on the fly, while Steve mics the action:

In other news, we have a new bass player! Dan Diamond is taking over from our lifetime member slash permanent "pinch" bassist, Mark Hamblin. Dan is a computer forensics expert, so don't mess with him, at least on a computer!
You'll see Dan this November, when we resume playing gigs. Some surprises in store there, too.
Hope you've had a lovely summer,
Jesse
