We're starting the artwork this week and getting our photos done soon so its all starting to come together. In other news, Ken was talking to the original Grand Funk Railroad manager Terry Knight about our recording of Into The Sun (from GFR's album "On Time", 1969). He was extremely cool about us using the song and was an all around nice guy and said he wants a copy of the CD when we're done. It was pretty cool that we didn't have to go through secretaries or any other crap, he called us directly and was totally down to earth. Thanks a lot Terry! Also check the Misc section for a complete discography and our complete live show listing, and the audio section for 2 new realaudio clips from the new album. Keep the email coming!

We will be playing a show at the grand opening of Moncton's new skateboard park (behind Oulton's) on June 24th. Other acts TBA.

Friday, April 14, 2000 :

The new album tentatively titled "The Free Release Of Energy" is currently being mastered in Toronto at Umbrella Studios and should be available in stores by July (cross your fingers). It was recorded in Moncton at Staccato Studios from November to March whenever we had time. We self produced it with local rocker John "Ace" Maher. We recorded 14 songs, 12 of which made the cut, including a cover of Grand Funk Railroad's 1969 song "Into The Sun". The rest of the songs were written over the past 2 years, all of which were demoed by Rick White (on 8-track) except one session which was recorded at Umbrella Studios by Adam Faux. Hopefully over the next few months we will put some of these demos in the audio section so you can see how they've changed. Check the audio section for a clip of one of the tracks from the new album in Realaudio format, and we're thinking of getting you guys to help us pick our first single. We'll keep you posted. That's all for now, check back in the next week or so for some new shit. Later!
