Not For Nothing is up on here for your hearing holes.  You can also check it on our bandcamp page - bandcamp.muycansado.com.  It will be for sale on bandcamp later this week, but if you email us in the next week (there's a button above for said email transaction) we will send you a download link & code for free.  Love. 

Here's a link to Not For Nothing's video on vidmeo -  Not For Nothing

Love.  

Good times.....we have a new single, Not For Nothing.  We're putting it out this month....this is not a joke.  We play Davis Square Theater on April 26.  If you're there, you'll see the video and we'll give you the song (for free).  It will also be up on this here website for your hearing holes.

The non-Winter barrels toward Spring and we have finally (FINALLY) finished recording and mixing new songs for our new album.  The last song, Let It Go, was finished at Q Division in February.  The album will likely bear that title, Let It Go.  That's not final, but if it would be apt for a project that's a year in the making.  The track order is likely finalized, but we don't want to share until we are absolutely 100% sure.  Artwork, finished songs and all of that fun stuff are right around the corner.  The first video and single, Not For Nothing, will be out in the next couple of months.  I wish I could say when, and I will, soon.....

I hope all is well with everyone.  We finished mixing our new song Sara Lee last week.  We are very excited with the results.  It came out better than (at least I) expected and compliments the other six songs we have on the docket for release very well.  Sara Lee sounds like something Nick Cave, Tom Waits, the Talking Heads and David Lynch cooked up in the clone-filled future.  Lyrically, it's a she-done-me-wrong-song, except "she" is a clone.  It may also have Lisa's favorite phrase, "mother fucking clone." 

In other news, after re-writing it four to five times, we finally may lay down our song Let it Go.  So much work, for such a short song (maybe two minutes).  Lisa and I are going to see if our new interpretation works (little to no percussion).  If it does, we'll put it to tape (digital and otherwise) early February and it will join the others for release.  There should be a total of 8-10 songs on our upcoming release.  Fun stuff.

We are also still working on the video for Not for Nothing and hope to get our idea for Predisposed going soon too.  If you know of anyone interested in filming, please get in touch.  We are talking to folks, but no action yet. 

2012 is upon us.  Apparently it's the end of the world and all that.  On the plus side we'll have a new FULL LENGTH album out this year.  We're not exactly sure when, but we are almost completely done mixing, recording and all that.  In addition, we've also got one video filmed and in production and have another we may be working on come Spring.  Exciting fun times.  This site may also be on the docket for a reboot - which would be groovy. 

In the immediate future we'll be playing our first show of 2012 at Radio in Somerville with 28 Degrees Taurus and The Sterns.  It should be an awesome, eclectic mix of bands.  We hope you can swing through.  New music soon.  We've said that a lot, but this time there's some more umph in that punch.

What will likely be our last rock show of the year is next Friday, November 18th at the Middle East Upstairs.  We hope you can make it out.  We are on the verge of finishing a whole bunch of new music, and will likely share some next Friday. 

We're still plugging away and hope to have release new music soon.  It looks like we'll be heading back into the studio before that happens, but it shouldn't be a long drawn out process.  We should be done VERY soon.  Cheers.

We've been working on a slew of new songs and may record a few to add to the songs we just wrapped up this summer.  Those songs are still not matered (not completely finished).  We are hoping to release a single soon (by year's end) and another shortly thereafter (early next year).  We may have videos released with the new singles - all stuff we are hashing out now and will let you know once they come to fruition. 

We are playing our first Halloween cover show Saturday, October 29th at Church.  We will be playing a set of Prince songs.  It's going to be a blast.  Mike Ward (St. Helena, Private Shapes, x-Sun Lee Sunbeam) will be sitting in on guitar and we may have keys as well.  If you're into Prince, cover shows or just a plain old good time, I would highly recommend you come to this show. 

Our next show of our own music is Friday, November 17th with Brendan Boogie & the Best Intentions, the John Powhida International Airport and the Future Carnivores.  Great lineup.  It si likely we will be playing at least one new song at this show. 

The June Residency at the Rosebud is over.  Over the course of the month, we debuted one brand new song and cover as well as two completely reworked songs.   Great performances abound each night.  Thank you to those who were a part – either performing or attending.  Here is video of us performing at the last residency show (6.24) -

Falling Down - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rBWprxVpqbg

This month we should wrap up recording for Not for Nothing, Predisposed, Seemingly Endless, Falling Down and Teammates.  We are done tracking all but Seemingly Endless, which just needs some overdubs.  We are excited to share, but they likely won’t be out until late Fall / Winter, maybe even  next year.  We’re working out specs.  We are kicking around video ideas and hope to get production going soon.  We may need help.  We'll let you know. 

Catch us at the Middle East Downstairs opening for God is an Astronaut and Monogold Thursday, August 4^th. 

Our June Residency at the Rosebud is right around the corner.  The details to all of the shows are on our gigs page.  The kickoff will be fun - it's a five band bill starting 8:00 PM Friday, June 3rd.  The Autumn Hollow Band, Trucker Mouth, Dr. Fox and our old friends the New Dumb are on board.  We'll debut at least one new song and/or cover at every show during the residency.  Each night will be it's own. 

We haven't posted about recording since starting the process, but we're still slugging away at it.  We're right around the corner and almost finished with three out of the five songs.  Before hitting the studio we posted we'd record Not For Nothing, Predisposed, Seemingly Endless and Teammates.  We added Falling Down as well (which of course turned out to be the easiest to record).  These have been the toughest sessions we've done, but also the most rewarding.  We will be playing each of the songs throughout the residency.  You can check out videos to Predisposed and Seemingly Endless below. 

After the residency we'll be working on some other fun projects and will let you know about them.  We will still release our song, Acquaintances, probably as a free download on our Bandcamp page (and here).  We'll let you know when that pops. 

Howdy peeps,

Very excited - During June we have a weekly residency at the Rosebud Bar in Davis Sq, Somerville.  It's three and one (three Fridays, one Saturday).  All of the shows are in our gig calendar and there's some local awesomeness on board:  Noise Coverboy Gene Dante and his Future Starlets, The Future Everybody, The Rationales, Sarah Rabdau and the Self-Employed Assassins, Parlour Bells, The Diamond Mines, The Autumn Hollow Band, the New Dumb and the Boogie Man (Brendan Boogie).  The dates are June 3rd, 11th, 17th and 24th.  For specs on each night, check out our gig page.

Before June we're at the Middle East Upstairs, Friday, April 29.  We're kicking off a rad night with Mount Peru, The Russians and Guillermo Sexo.  Dancers welcome.
