After a promising, yet false start, Options the Live Band will be back up and running soon. We have a new drummer and I'm very excited to start playing shows again!

I will be playing a stripped down set at North Shore Pharmacy this Friday. Also playing are Sharpless, Idealist, and other cool bands!

RSVP/Address

I have been sitting on a new EP for months and have not had time to finish it. I recorded it entirely on a Tascam 414 four track tape recorder. I believe I will be mixing it with Adam Salsberg at Space Jam soon - we just have a couple more pieces of equipment to purchase and we'll be good to go! If you'd like to help expedite the process, please consider purchasing one of my albums.

Guillemet has been working hard on new music, and are getting closer and closer to being show-ready. We recently acquired a new bassist, Dylan Piskula from the Para-medics.

Check out Space Jam, my studio with Adam and Bryan from Cage Match! We can record your band on the cheap and it will sound really good. We just put up new pictures of the space, and it is improving every day. Book time at Spacejamchicago at gmail dot com.

introducing Guillemet!

Over the spring/early summer, some friends and I got together and wrote 3 songs (mostly under the direction of our guitarist Lucio). We recorded them and now you can download them on Bandcamp! We're working on new songs and will hopefully be playing shows very soon. Bryan from Cage Match does vocals in this band, pretty ill.

Little Victories update!

Little Victories has officially entered the mastering stage. Carl Saff has taken on the job and I couldn't be more excited to hear the results! I am also getting a band together in Chicago, and I'm hoping to have a release show for the album in mid-September. New songs are coming slowly, mostly due to working like a maniac all summer, but now that's done and I'm going back to Chicago this Wednesday, so hopefully things'll pick up.
The art for the album is coming along really nicely, Connor is doing a badass job. I don't have a final cover yet, but everything he's sent me rules and I'm stoked to have such good lookin' art to attach to this album! It won't be long now...

I'm Only Gonna Be Here Now CDs

I made 5 copies of I'm Only Gonna Be Here Now for the last show I played. I drew something on each of the CDs, and I figured I should probably put them up here for sale. If you're interested in one, email me at optionstheband @ gmail dot com and we can work something out.
