Hello Everyone,
Our apologies for the extensive quietude coming from this little corner of the Internet lately. I could fill you in on what we’ve been doing, but it is all fairly ordinary and not of much interest (unless you are into detailed descriptions of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches or all encompassing play by plays of 40-hour work weeks). That being said, we have made some progress on Book Club related things as well.
1) The record is fully recorded finally. That’s not to say it is mixed. That has not been done yet. But all the little 1s and 0s are in the right place (yeah, that’s right. You heard me. We recorded on digital technology- out of date digital technology but digital nonetheless. Don’t get all worked up over it seeing as we are recording on a cylinder recorder next time. I’m serious by the way.) and waiting to be told how loud to be. It is sounding really good already. It should sound fantastic soon.
Then of course we still have to master it, get the art started/done, write stories, letterpress the covers, collapse in a heap and never want to deal with this record again. The process is still in the early stages, but momentum is growing.
2) We’ve joined forces with the fine people of Ascender Descender, home of our bestest friend, Summer of Glaciers (whose new record is mind blowing by the way… go buy it).
3) Speaking of Summer of Glaciers, we will be playing a show with him May 12th at the Blank Club in San Jose (HOLY SHIT! 2 shows in San Jose in one year. It’s a record… one probably best not to repeat). Also playing is War Dolphin, which might very well be one of the best names we’ve heard in a long time. We will also have a new member with us that evening. More information about this show will be forthcoming.
4) We’ve baked some cookies. They were good.
5) We miss you terribly and can’t wait to see you again.
6) We are completely serious about #5.
xo,
The SBBC
