What's next?

Hey there. Chris checking in again.

There's news to tell. We finished up a new song earlier today. All that we need is to have Matt and Erik work up some some of their horn magic and make the music truly spellbinding. Typically, we are absent the horns on Sundays. So that magic will have to wait till later. Also, Ashlie wasn't able to make it to practice either. It was a very skeletal band practice. But these skeletal band practices really let us work on the finer details of the performing and ideas for recording. I never realized how much detail we've put into the five first songs we plan on recording for the EP. Nearly every measure has just about all the detail that it can carry.

The time to record comes closer and closer. The only experience I've had in a studio was at Studio Y on BYU campus. We let a student record Zombies in Salt Lake for a project of his. So it was free (a many good deal of things are free). It was great getting a professional level sound quality in a  recording. It gave us an idea of how truly wonderful all that fancy and expensive studio equipment can be.

Something in my head says that this EP is going to be a really good thing for the band. Part of me hopes that all of this goes bigger than the Valley. We have a glimmer of for expansion in the mini-tour that we have planned. We'll start off in SLC, play a show in Ogden (hopefully at WhySound) and end with a show or two in Idaho. So far that's one of the grandest undertakings that we've ever undertaken. At first, it was a huge deal to get to perform on a small local TV station, Park City TV. Now, we've played there several times to their approval. Then we got the great chance to play on KUTV as well as laundry list of great venues in between. With the trajectory that we have now, it's possible that we just might do something big. It starts with a little jaunt to Idaho. Then what next? Maybe a swing down to Vegas and stick around there for a weekend. Who knows after that? Maybe we spend a few weeks making our way out to California and tour I-5. I don't know. But, things are good. Things are really good. Every step we take is step forward. All we need now is a healthy amount of luck and a lot of help from our friends and we can do some great things.
