I Need More Magic In My Life

First off, i just wanted to say that i'm listening to Soundtrack to the Personal Revolution by Burnt by the Sun. Holy fuck, listen to this album if you haven't before! That aside, here is what we have been up to.

Writing for the collaboration 10" is complete. All we have to do is get the new songs down to the point of being able to play them comfortably enough to record and play live. Maybe there will be a new song added to the set for Ghost Throats, we'll see. The new songs are much faster and technical than the ep, but still heavy. The way i see it, the ep songs are the first ones we wrote as a band. Hell, some of the songs were even written when Orphy was playing drums. Throughout that writing process of the ep, we were still figuring out what we sounded like and what each member can bring to the table. Now that the ep is out and the 10" is on the way, and we've been playing those songs for a year now, i think its fair to say we have a pretty good idea of what we want to do other than trying to figure out what we want to do through trial and error song writing. Coming into the writing of the collab was refreshing and the shit we managed to write, i am genuinely excited about and even more excited to be able to play the songs live. So, i guess thats my little insight on new material that could very well be played as soon as our shows in May.

So with records and cd's and all that shit, we thought it'd be a good idea to get some shirts made. We've had a couple friends make some really good designs and now we just have to pick what we would like to use. So, as soon as i know what design(s) we're going to use, i'll post it on here.

The booking of tour continues to continue. I just posted all the dates we plan on playing on our myspace, and i'll post them here as well. If you or anyone you know can help us out with a show in any of these cities, please contact me via the Cope myspace or at burnceciliburn@hotmail.com.
