We’ll begin recording in our own “Rosewood Recording Studio” starting the middle of December hopefully wrapping up the entire process sometime this spring. If we’re on top of things lucky we’ll have a release party this fall when school gets back in session.

Leave us a comment if you have any suggestions for the initial (and long overdue) first release for Backyard Shark.

w00t.

Anyway – the show went great – the other bands were fantastic, we were shark-tastic, and we had a surprise visit from some Peoria fans (now dubbed the ‘Peoria Sharkettes’).  They braved a monsoon and drove 1,432,532 (or so) miles to make the Backyard Shark show.

Hard. Core.

Alright, alright – so here’s what’s new:

New music is being written.  We just ran through the newest tune tonight at practice and it’s killer… you have no idea what’s in store for you.

Recording:  It’s the never ending project.  I think we’ll call the record ‘Chinese Democracy’ (can we get sued for that?).  The update is:  we’re still working on it and planning on how to do it with all the band members spread around IL.

Shows:  We have a few shows coming up.  The most amazing of which will be at Bentley’s Pub on July 25th.  We’re playing with ‘Faster Forward’ (with yours truly on drums).  Faster Forward is a new band in town headed by a great songwriter named John Caparoon.  We highly recommend you come check out the show – if not for us, for Faster Forward.   :-)

See you all at the show.

-Eddie
