As I mentioned before, I’m working on a little EP called Removers – Remixes and Covers of songs that influenced my writing and production on Headphones and Cellphones. One of the songs is now up at www.therecordmachine.net for free download..

There was also a nice write-up about it in the Pitch Weekly – check it out here!

CD Release Party(S)!! And removers EP..

October 20th, 2009 by sam | No comments

I have 2 CD release parties lined up – one happening this Friday, October 23rd at Wonderfair Art Gallery in Lawrence, KS (located in the basement of the Casbah at 9th and Mass). It’ll be 6-9pm, FREE, all ages, and we’ll have some pretzels and drinks to sip on while we enjoy the new album together!

The next release party will be the following Friday, October 30 at SOHO Interiors in Topeka (located at Huntoon and Oakley). Also at this one, it’ll be 6-9pm, FREE, all ages, and we’ll have snacks and drinks to refresh ourselves!

Keep your eyes and ears peeled: I’ve been talking to Nathan at the Record Machine about putting out an EP of remixes and covers of songs that influenced my songwriting and production on Headphones and Cellphones. We’re thinking of calling it ‘Removers EP’. It’s still in production, but expect to see it soon – it’ll be coming out as free download(s) in the near future and I’m hoping it will include these songs as well as some others: A Dream Goes on Forever by Todd Rundgren, Made Concrete by the Republic Tigers, Do Right by Paul Davis, This Place is a Prison by the Postal Service..

I’ll keep you all updated!
