I'm happy to announce that EXTRAS can now be previewed right HERE. Many thanks to Jordon Zadorozny (of Blinker the Star) for assisting in post-production.
All tracks were mastered at French Kiss Recording in Pembroke, Ontario except for 'Idle Tears' and 'Celestial Shell.'
To be officially released in April.

The Next Chapter
Trevor has left the group. Things have been uncertain lately and middle ground could not be met.

Year of the Snake
Hello!
Thanks for sticking with us folks, 2013 has been bittersweet for us so far. We saw Roscoe off recently at what will probably be the last time the 3 of us play on stage together. Roscoe was kind enough to fill in while we went through line-up changes earlier last year and stuck it out as long as he could. He's got a child on the way and commitments at home - that of course trumps anything the band would have in plan and we completely understand.
A/U:
We just released an EP that had been previously unreleased until now called "A/U" - it was started right after Lunatic Frame and left unfinished for a few years... Luckily the mixes remained intact. We were able to re-discover them and complete them a few weeks back for everyone's listening pleasure. You can stream or download it at Bandcamp or our old website (both free to members or subscribers)
Extras and Covers albums:
The Extras album still sits in limbo at the moment. The engineer who had agreed to master them backed out due to scheduling problems. We'll be getting that sorted out as soon as possible. We just want the the tracks to be a little more put together than Pixie Junk which was literally thrown together.
The Covers album is still on the burner, and we'll be filling in the gaps on that as well.
Last show:
Our last show at Lucy's ARL went great. We were thrilled once again to hit the stage with two of our favorite fellow stage-mates Thaylobleu (from D.C.) and Red Letter Life (out of Philly).
Thanks to all who attended, we have a recording of Paranoid for FREE right here:

Solo shows/here on out:
Ian recently hit the stage once more (for a last minute gig) opening at the IOTA Club in Arlington, VA last week. The band had yet to play there and it was a great experience. We hope to either find the needed rhythm section to pull off more shows in the future or continue one-off shows like this because it keeps the music alive for sure.
The band is obviously in a bit of a hiatus at the moment, but we hope the music we have yet to release will keep us and fans busy for a little while at least - while we renew ourselves and get back on track.
We'd would like to thank all the listeners, our friends, family and fans for all the love and support over the past few years. If it wasn't for you all we wouldn't be here.
Keep an eye out for more tracks & albums out there in distro land. We recently hooked up with a Universal affiliate to release the back catalog as well as the newer releases. Zeptune is also compiling a ton of tracks dating back to the early days at ZeptuneRecords.com
take care everyone - see you down the road!
