December:
We left off that our guitarist was let go shortly before the NYC show. Sadly this left us as a duo but we were very quickly joined by the awesome Brian Markelonis who brought some sick bass skills to the band. Having a show already booked at Chameleon's Nightclub to say good-bye to 2011, we were happy to bring him on board for the night to test him out and see how things would go. If you weren't there, let's just say you may have missed what was probably our most amazing show ever. But fear not, there are videos available to be seen. You can see us performing "If Only I Could" below:
The show was SUCH a success with the addition of Brian that we asked (more like hounded) him to stick around and he agreed and the rest is history as far as that is concerned. What was two became three once again.
January to June:
We wrote and wrote, and wrote some more. We basically have been plotting and editing for the next album ever since. We did take a nice long break. I mean, think about it, we were gigging almost every month non-stop from July until December. Remember that one stretch there where we played two gigs back to back? I mean, holy shit, it was almost like a real tour there for a minute. We really were like, "Holy shit!" Or at least I was after that... when I could talk again. I'd lost my voice after the Elf Parlor show for about an hour which I'm pretty sure people were glad for because I tend to be the talkative one in the band. So, yeah, we took a few months off, started recording again and landed a kick ass feature with Carpe Nocturne Magazine where they feature us talking about ourselves every quarter. We basically tell the readers what we're up to, like a blog, and in turn we promote the mag. It's a nice little trade off :)
Now we're in the middle of this huge show that's coming up on June 2nd back at Chameleon's Night Club in Pittsfield Mass. Think of it as a Halloween party but in June. All amazing bands (Forever Autumn, Vi, Streak, and Era Nocturna of course). 18+, raffles, costumes, dancing, plenty of parking, and it'll be warm so you can come out in your best finery and not be cold. We'll have plenty of CD's, we'll be doing photo ops, and hanging out to chat with everyone so we want to see you there.
So that's what's up. Sorry it's been so long. We've MISSED you!
With love,
Dae
