CCLR @ The Middle East, Saturday 6/14!
We’re playing at the Middle East upstairs this coming Saturday at a show we think you’ll really, truly enjoy. We expect it to be very hot, as in sweat and sticking clothes, and while we admit that it’s fun to go out in comfort, isn’t it also fun to go out once in a while […]
It’s Not Funny How We Don’t Talk Anymore
After a break for the holidays, (and we hope yours were happy), we’re looking to begin mixing on the new record. We’re calling it “Black Clouds” at this point and we’re looking at an August release. Though its been about the biggest thing on our minds for the past four years, or maybe because of […]
I Heard Her Call My Name
We’re plotting, in our own small way, to overthrow our everyday lives and get back into some MUSIC. Some shows, some recording, some new friends, some old cherished ones, some we don’t see as much as we should, some who wish we’d forget their phone numbers…..which is a long way of saying we’re taking this […]
I Got Eight Carburetors, and Boys I’m Usin’ ’em All
A quick word on what we’re up to, where we’re at, and how it relates to you. The album keeps inching toward a real life outside its home in that beautiful, leaking basement we call Home Base in Roxbury. We’re actually kicking around titles and track orders and starting to line-up the guest stars to […]
New Song, New Vinyl, and May Shows
We have two shows coming up this month and on top of that, our new 7″ is going to be slowly finding it’s way out to radio, press, and, we hope, your turntables. On May 3rd, we’re happy to be playing the opening night of Jennifer O’Connor’s residency at the Living Room in Manhattan. This […]
What We Talk About When We Talk About Split 7″ Singles
It’s been a little while since we had anything to announce, so we hope this finds everyone well. Now for our announcement: We’re very excited to let you know that Kiam Records, the label run by our good friend Jennifer O’Connor, is starting up a 7″ subscription series. It will consist of five 7″s released […]
Nearly Rolling
Andy has been slaving night and day all week getting the studio ready for Saturday. I’ve only been working nights, and Vinnie got to see the studio in person for the first time Monday, and showed off his drywalling skills. We’re 95% ready to roll tape! We started framing the wall and door to seal […]
So Very Moved.
Happy New Year! Andy (of the Big Disappointments) and I ended last year by cleaning the new studio space, discussing the layout, and finishing the move from the old space. We have a ton of work to do (just look at the pictures), and we have to do most of it in the next week […]
So Very Moving!
With a nod to new beginnings while still maintaining the relationships that you cherish, we’re leaving our much beloved practice space / recording studio in Allston for new digs in Deep, Dark Dungeon, Mass. We’re excited but sad because we really liked our old, cramped space. Andy Abrahamson invited us to move in to the […]
We’re in Hoboken, NJ, this Saturday the 14th with Jennifer O’Connor and Portastatic!
Hello, We’re playing this coming Saturday (the 14th) at Maxwell’s in beautiful Hoboken, NJ. We look forward to sharing the bill for the first time in a while (at least it seems like it) with our good friend Jennifer O’Connor and with Portastatic. Both have really great new albums out. We’re first of three. Maxwell’s […]
