Depth & Current update

So, the first EP, Arms, has been released. The CD release show was fantastic! I'll post pictures once I gather them all up and pick my favorites. Here's one that our friend Robby R. Harris took:



The physical copies of our EP are being released in custom made, silk screened, laser cut, card stock packaging, lovingly designed, crafted, hand-numbered, and signed by the artist, Sethy McCarroll.

Since the music will likely live on forever in places like iTunes, we wanted the actual CDs to be something very special. So, the CD version of the EP is going to be limited to only 100 of these great little art pieces that Sethy has created. We only have about 70 copies left. I'll take some to both Guestroom Records locations and to Size Records this week.

If you know Sethy, and the kind of amazing art that he's capable of, and you know how likely it is that a great guy like him will one day be famous, you're probably already planning on picking up one of these CDs. Don't put it off. They will go quickly once they're on display at the stores.

But, if you just care about the music, then you can pick up the EP from any number of online music services. There are many available. So, search for "Depth and Current" at your favorite service. I personally recommend iTunes, where our EP has already gone live, or eMusic, where it will be available shortly.

Thanks a million to everyone who came out and made our CD release show a really great time. And, thanks to Mickey from El Paso Hot Button, for putting on a hell of a show and honoring my request that he only play new songs. Everybody loved it. And, it made me even more excited to finish the new EPHB record. I love that guy.

Next up, hmmm... a few hints, perhaps? recording a new track for a super exclusive cassette tape release being spearheaded by a great local guy with an infectious enthusiasm. AND, recording another new track for a split 7" release with a new band who also happen to be one of the best bands to ever grace a stage in Oklahoma. Really excited about this new stuff!!!
