So, the entire band has been working on new songs- together, individually, and with other people. You can hear some of the new material TONIGHT at Kenny's Castaways, if you live in New York. (If you don't live in NY and want to see us live, we've got something for you. More on that later.) Tonight will be our last show for 2011. We're taking a little time off to finish all these new songs, and rest up a little and spend time with the families. It's been a crazy busy year.
Besides all the new material, we've been working internationally. BR did a track with our friend Bfromlu, a producer and blogger from France who just moved to Montreal. The track is called "Gladiator Matador" and it's the first single from Bfromlu's new EP, "Lights On," available November 15. The rest of the band spent all day Sunday recording with Karnage's friend Lauri Shaw, a singer from New York now making a name for herself in London. (We've got photos from the session up on our Facebook page.)
Like we said, it's been a crazy busy year. We've had the best of times- playing at Tribeca Performing Arts Center for the first time; heading to Chicago to play the Elbo Room for the second year; third year working with the BoCoCa Arts Festival; second year rocking the Atlantic Antic Festival. And we've had some rough times- missing a gig when we broke down on the NJ Turnpike; equipment malfunctions in Union Square Park; getting rained out for outdoor gigs, etc. It's not easy going the independent route, but it's worth the risk and the work.
As for that opportunity for fans outside NYC, we're planning a HUGE event in February to celebrate nine years of BR and Timebomb where we'll be webcasting from AM Studios, our second home for almost all nine. A couple of our friends have signed up to join us- Devlin Miles, Melanie Edwards and Shelley Nicole's Blakbushe. We'll have more info for you on that one soon.
