Music News - Last Updated: June 15, 2008

Fuzzy Cousins is hastily working on our first full length CD. It's almost done, and we're almost done mastering it. Should be read by early July. That's the plan! ----- Three Piece Combo is rolling again. Yeah!!! We're even working on new material and someday I'll get time to continue mixing the stuff we already recorded for the second CD. It's still very exciting being in a viable Oakland art rock band. ----- Research and Development is back on the front burners again, after many up and downs over the past year. Slightly new lineup, new songs, etc. and after a couple shows the plan is to hunker down and record said new songs. ----- The Fuxedos exists in both LA and SF simultaneously, which adds to the enjoyable chaos of this endeavor. The CD is actually being recorded as we speak. Once it's finished we're going to take over the world. ----- Casino Royale (and all possible variants) always has a gig or two coming down the pike, very few of which probably pertain to you. Nothing personal. We're pros. ----- The first Midline Errors CD is completely mixed, and pretty much mastered. Meanwhile, production work on the second CD has already begun but funding is scarce so it progresses very very slowly. But a band actually exists at this point, which is very neat. ----- The Dropsy CD is being sold or handed out to anybody who wants a damn copy. We still talk about reforming but it never happens. ----- Believe it or not the second JOB full-length CD (called "North") made recent progress - Jai Young and I are pretty much done with the mixing (except for maybe one song) and hope to really get it out soon (especially now that this kind of music is coming back into style...?).. ----- Species Being is suddenly showing up back on the radar. Frank moved back to SF and we already met up a couple times figuring out the "new direction." We'll probably go under a new band name yet to be decided. Keep your eyes peeled. -----


Upcoming public shows:

With Fuzzy Cousins:
On Thursday, July 17th, we'll be in back at the Starry Plough in Berkeley (on Shattuck just south of Ashby, as if you don't know) along with our long time compadres Brian Kenney Fresno and miRthkon. Hot damn!

..stay tuned.. lots of shows in the "works" to be added as soon as they are "confirmed."
