This One Goes To 11!

The Shapes: The Shapes

11 Songs of Jangly Rockin' Pop from Deep in the Heart of Texas!
The album sees the light of day today! On sale officially! What a long and winding road to get here. What a struggle! What a fight! And here it is at long last!
So where can you get one? CD BABY for one, just follow that fancy button up there. It will let you preview songs and download the ones you want or buy the whole album and have them send it to you!
It is also on itunes and locally can be snagged at Good Records. So go snag. Or if you're super smart and savvy you can meet us at the Windmill Lounge tonight for the CD RELEASE LISTENING PARTY AND RADIO TAKEOVER! It really couldn't get a longer name.
It's the long awaited (by us) release of our debut album! We'd love to have a drink with you as we share the sounds of our very first full length!
Bring a radio or your favorite boombox and we'll build a mountain of sound! We will be broadcast on the radio (Sonic Assembly Power Hour KNON 89.3) at the Windmill Lounge with entertainment by DJ MR RID who will be playing the whole album for your listening pleasure! Then we'll meet you over there for drinks and fun! The album will be on sale for only $6 at this event only! On site screenprinted shirts will be available for sale by SHIRTS=AWESOME
Shapes stickers will be free for all our guests!
Can't be there in person? Even if you can't be there in person we invite you to tune in as Lance and I will be ON THE AIR!
Listen to KNON 89.3fm or webcast at www.knon.org TUESDAY AUGUST 3RD 10PM
*Thanks To DJ Mark Ridlen and Reid Robinson for not only helping to put this event together but for actually working on the record to make it sound good for your ears!

The Shape of Things To Come


Right now our album is being made into little round cd shapes and in 2 weeks we'll have em in our hot little hands! This is just an 11 song debut, a history of all the songs we've written together with our old drummer Chuck Spurlock who is no longer in the band. Putting out this album has taken it's toll to be sure but I think we're ready to move forward up the mountain with our new drummer Guyton and get this record heard. We pressed a small 500 run so if anyones interested in getting this album let me know, we havent even discussed how much we're charging but it won't be expensive.
We had our first practice in 9 months yesterday and it wasn't as catastrophic as I thought it would be. However I did learn two things, one...my fingers ain't what they used to be and two...my guitar needs to go to the hospital finally. Alignment, intonation, the whole 9 yards....poor baby. My gigging amp is blown as well so being in a band ain't cheap! ;-(
Aside from getting this album out I'm juggling the June ART&COFEE show coming up as well as Gingerama in the same weekend. It's a good thing I have vacation next week, I think Im taking 2 solid days to work on record art before pushing it all aside for some R&R. Ok maybe 3 days...I know myself too well.
Remind me to post my hiking adventure here...let's just say it was not my intention to try and kill my boyfriend and there is a magical princess on a dashing steed who makes an appearance as well! Interested in The Shapes? We're linked in the sidebar of my blog!
