newness abounds

Carl and Mike and I started working on our Verse Chorus Verse set last weekend and will most likely continue to work on it tonight. The Leo bash, aka Smelsea and Smarl pt 3 aka Carl's birthday party looks like it's not going to be happening at the Painted Lady after all, and instead will probably go down in the backyards that join Carl's and Mike's houses. Macrame Tiger had to bail on the show and Running With Panthers... well, not even sure what's up with them but it looks like it's going to be Drew doing NOFX covers which I'm honestly stoked to see. I'm sure it's still going to be a lot of fun and I've been wanting to play a house party for some time now.

We've got some new music "in the works"... still in the planning stages but we might have anywhere between one and four songs released by the end of the year, depending on how busy we force ourselves to be. Also our voices and some of our instruments are going to be in a movie that's coming out soon -- more on this and other stuff later. The library at my work is closing up now so I gotta gtfo.

Blaze Spluh updates n' stuff

Things have been awesome lately and we have lots of cool things coming up. We've played 5 shows already since our record was released last month and have met some awesome people! Super awesome thanks especially to the dudes from the Royal Oak Jimmy John's and their friends who have been coming out to like every show and bringing tons of people. I don't have most of your names down yet but if you guys stumble upon this blog, you should know how awesome you are!

Macrame Tiger has been doing some amazing things as well. For those of you who don't know, the dudes in MT and most of us go way back and have been playing in bands together for years and years, throughout high school and everything. It's been great to play shows together and get to party with those dudes so often lately.

Last night we played with a band called The Extraordinaires who were the coolest band I've seen in a while. We had a great turnout last night at the Berkley Front and had a great time with the Macrame Tiger, The Five Alives, and the dudes from Child Bite who threw this whole thing together. We partied til 4am -- on a Monday!

We're about ready to announce some big announcements -- local festival performances, Carl's birthday show, our submission of our music to be part of a film soundtrack, but in the meantime here are some videos and stuff from some recent shows:

Also there's a really super rad article / video about Macrame Tiger's American Apparel show last Sunday here at motorcityblog.net. These guys are great and have invited us to play their big 5 year anniversary party downtown this December and we totally can't wait for it. :)
