ch-ch-changes

If you haven't noticed (I'm guessing a lot of you just read the feed of this blog) I have changed homepage of yofishboy.com to go straight to this page since its most frequently updated. All the links  you need will be on your top right along with two links that sort out the news posts from the comic posts.

I'm assuming that most of you think that since I haven't given any music news in a while I've just been sitting around drawing comics all day. Not so! I was waiting for all of it to come together so I could drop a bunch of stuff at once...and yeah its coming slow. Here is what I have so far:

New Bass!

Ryan Williams has been practicing with us on new and old stuff and seems like a great fit.

Currently you can see him play in...just about every other band in Denton.  At our next show be prepared to look on the stage and go "oh that guy...yeah hes great."

New Album!
All songs have been written and rewritten and arrangements are solid, unfortunately we are having to sit on our hands for a little bit in order to work with Matt Pence again (man behind Albatross) at the the Echolab in Argyle, so you might not hear any new recordings until midsummer.

About the songs!
I went into the songwriting process with a couple of strict rules I made myself follow

• Every song has to be a profile song about a different fictional character.   
• because I really love songs from the british invasion that do this (mary anne with the shaky hand, david watts, arthur, shes a rainbow, the list goes on...)

• Every song has to introduce and include the main character of the following song there by connecting the two characters in someway.
• because I love Mean Mr. Mustard and Polythene Pam

and then...

• Every song title is to be the characters name
• Every name begins with the letter "A"
• All names/songs/tracks are in alphabetical order

this all accidently resulted in...

• each new song/character developing an over all narrative and theme for the album.

Giving myself this kind of structure really caused me to push myself creatively and not settle for something I would have normally written because  sometimes when you have all the colors in the world to work with, everything just turns out brown. Am I always going to write and release concept albums that need to be explained with bullet points? Nah. I just felt like it with this one.

oh, it will be called: CLASSIC CREEPS
