Secunda

Tonight (as in, Thursday night) we (meaning Senior Discount) will be playing the Lemon Lime Tennis Shoes homeshow. I'm hoping it's going to be a big show but you never know. We recorded with White Noise last weekend, which was great. We went five hours over our allotted time (which was five hours) and were there until 4:30 AM.
We're really hoping the song comes out well. Hoping against hope! It's our first new song in a long time, and we really wanted it to have a little something extra to it so I hope that comes out.
We'll be playing it live tonight for the LLTS homeshow. We just started really playing it in all its' glory so we're still rusty but it should be alot of fun.
In other news - I think I'm going to have an operation to get my wisdom teeth out soon. I'm sure this will fuck me up horribly. I have to make an appointment to go to the dentist and we'll see.
We're going to be playing tonight, and then Saturday at a free show in Bristol (come down - it's fucking free). After that, hopefully we can hear the new song (the title is going to be "...And That's Goodbye" and get rid to get the comp pressed (the new song is being exclusively released on the new White Noise compilation - "The Scene II" in September), and play the FINAL Arcadia Landing show, on August 30th. I hope to see everyone out for this.
After that we've got a lot coming up. Some secret stuff, and also, what I'm calling "There Were Four Who Tried Harder" which is going to be a re-release of five songs from our original album "There Were Four Who Tried". We're doing new full band versions of Explode RI, I'm Crazy, and That Bitch Not So Bad, as well as an acoustic version of Caley's Song, and a bluegrass version of Ataxia.
I feel like Caley's Song is a great song, and the album version wasn't as great as I had hoped. Maybe it's meant to be an acoustic song? We'll have to see.
Ataxia bluegrass has been in my brain for a long time and I'm super super stoked on it. As for the other three, we just feel like Explode and I'm Crazy are different now, so we want to record them as they are now. That Bitch just needs some harmonies, and we need to tighten it up.
I really want to feel comfortable with all the recordings we have, and I'm not comfortable with Explode, I'm Crazy, and That Bitch. They just need to be re-done.
We're super excited for this. We still have to work out the kinks but we're not recording for another 7 or 8 weeks so we have time.
We're not sure how to distribute these new tracks yet, but I'm open to ideas. At first I just wanted to do a free download, but now I'd like to do something on top of that, like a special show where if you buy a presale ticket, you get the 5 songs for free on a CD from us with something special about the package. I'm not sure what though. Ideas are welcome!
I think we're going to re-do the S*D merch table soon, and eventually the S*D site. We're waiting on Jordan, but he helps fo free so I ain't gon' push him!!!
I want to do new shirts - if anyone has any ideas, we are certainly open. We're also in talks about the new album, but I don't want to comment on that until we have solid facts. The new album is going to be SICK - I promise you that.

So yeah - if you have any ideas for releasing our five new (versions of) songs, let me know, and if you're interested in shirt ideas/design, let me know that too.
