tracking drums today!

It's winter break, and I recorded drums on Monday for a five song EP that I've been passively working on for the last couple months. Adam Salsberg helped me out with drum recording, and it sounds awesome! I'll probably work on more vocals tonight. I wrote these songs back in August/September, and I'm glad to be able to work on em again.

I am currently at CarterCo Recording with Jonah Kort recording drums for another (can you believe it? you should!) EP that has six songs. I will also hopefully be recording the bass for that album today. Guitars have been mostly tracked, and we're gonna finish em up tomorrow at Jonah's own Albany Recordings.

back to work

My semester ends tomorrow and I have more material than I know what to do with. Like So EP is getting finished pronto, I'm recording a whole lot of Options from tomorrow till thursday, and hopefully that Young Bull record will get finished too.

big show tomorrow!

My friend Mike and I are having a dual birthday show. I am playing an Options set by myself with an electric guitar and a DL-4. My roommate's band Small Wonder is playing. Cage Match is playing. A secret guest is playing. It is going to be really awesome, and you should go. AND it's free.

back in print

After not having CDs for a really long time, I finally made copes of Back Home and Some Light, and more copies of A Fisherman's Drought. You can get them at Bandcamp or click the aforementioned links.

I'm currently working on another pressing of Baby Steps as well as a first pressing of This Year by Sneaky People. Stay tuned...

Cage Match has CDs that you can get here for a minimum of $3 (to cover shipping).

soundclouds!

I got a soundcloud for Options. I'll be posting new ideas and songs occasionally and then taking them down. http://soundcloud.com/optionstheband

Cage Match also has a soundcloud http://soundcloud.com/cagematch

Cave Math is done and out!

Cage Match's debut album Cave Math is out now for free/donation at http://cagematchmusic.bandcamp.com. Get it!

working on a bunch of stuff!

I have all guitars and drums tracked for two songs on the upcoming Options EP. It still doesn't have a name yet, but I think I might have some album art. I'll figure it out soon enough. It's been put on hold for the last couple weeks due to a sprained right ankle. I've almost totally recovered, though, and I'm hoping to get back to recording within the next couple of weeks. I also got a 4 track tape recorder and I'm relearning how to use it so I can record a set of songs that have been done for a while.

Due to some technical difficulties, Cave Math, the new EP from Cage Match isn't online yet, but it should be sometime this week. We're playing for free this friday at Phyllis' Musical Inn, which is in Wicker Park (off the Division Blue Line stop on the CTA) in Chicago. It's 21+, which totally sucks. Sorrrrry!

Like So's EP has been put on the backburner for now. It'll get done eventually though, promise. No shows are planned and we haven't played together since May. Do the math.

This summer, Scotty Leitch (of Pirouette) and I wrote a bunch of songs in a few weeks and then recorded them in his basement. I play drums, Scotty does everything else. We're called Young Bull, and hopefully you will be able to hear our music soon. I'm really excited about it!

Options winter tour 2010? We shall see.....
