We have just finished recording a song for a new EP, and have another couple recordings that are being worked on right now, too. The rough mixes for the EP songs are on our myspace, and the incomparable Rogan is doing the artwork.
Also, make sure to check theFourFour.com regarding their upcoming festival/band crawl on November 15. There will be 9 venues and 45 bands. We are playing at the Outland at 9:00, and you can just pay for our show, but you should buy a wristband for just a few bucks more. Go to theFourFour.com

We are recording right now, and we are five strong (Chris, Danny, Erik, Logan, and Shawn for those of you keeping track). We have the first nearly-finished track up for listening at our myspace. We are playing at the Ballroom on May 22 as well. Look out for an upcoming album and some SHOPN sprees.

Right now we are breaking in our new bass player, Erik, formerly of Black Market Momentum and the John Galt Line. We have played one show with him, and it was great. We are playing March 3 at the Outland Ballroom with Mustangs and Madras (Denver), the Gunshy (Chicago), El Minotaur, and mcgill, and with Dead Commuter (Wichita) and El Minotaur at Grandpa’s House (675 S Kimbrough Ave) on March 29. We are going to start recording hopefully soon, and even more hopefully put something out on vinyl. For updates on our show schedule, check our myspace.

We have the drum tracks (aka the hard part) done as far as recording is concerned. Now we just have to do every other part. The Andy Dufresne Chrises are starting a house venue, and we will be playing there June 27 and July 17. Go to http://www.myspace.com/shorthistories
Keep checking back, and we’ll keep delivering the news.

Here’s what’s going down in our world now. We are currently a three piece. It still is Danny and Shawn, and our friend Jason (Kaneda, Floob) is our new bass player/vocalist. This is a pretty solid line up, and 0ur old bass player Derrick has assumed the role of audio engineer/producer quite nicely. As soon as he receives a mixer that is on the way, we will start recording our new album. There are some upcoming tours and whatnot in the works, too.
