I've really been slacking with the LJ updates so lets see if I can cram a few important journal notes in here.

* Finished our new 14 song album. It's being pressed due back in three weeks.

* I got sick and got better within 48 hours. My immune system kicks ass.

* Playing multiple shows in the near future. Local and out of state.

* Made it so that our online store allows people who buy our Mail Order CD the ability to download MP3s immediately after purchasing. Thanks for that idea, Trent.

* Various projects keep me occupied, but it's nice to not be freaking out about music deadlines.

* I have to start our campaign to gain new fans before getting out to our out of state shows. This means, flyers, free demos, club play, word of mouth. I'm not gunna stress about it, just gunna poke around and see what happens.

Here's a list of our upcoming shows. (check myspace.com/thestrand for official dates and times since dates are subject to change)

Well I'll be at the show here in burque. Been missing seeing you guys for awhile now.

Also any help you want with getting the word out in other places I sometimes have good connections in a lot of random places. I'm so isolated, but yet I'm so well connected it's weird.

Oh by the way I was doing Pub Trivia a couple of weeks ago, and it was a round called, "The first word". They give you a song title, and you have to put down the first word of the song as the answer. One of the questions was, "Mama said knock you out." I was actually listening to your cover of the song that day, so thanks to you I got it right ;)
