Hi All!,

I’m sorry for the long silence. It’s been a very busy Spring and Summer, but mostly with Nilaihah Records. I know some of you are wondering what happened to the ‘Corruption’ EP and our new material for ‘Transitions’. I wish there were more hours in the day and I didn’t need to sleep, just so I could catch up.

The big news is a reminder for our September 3rd show at Skully’s in Columbus, Ohio with LESTAT and Filament 38. We’re very excited!!! So, for any of you near or in Columbus, you won’t want to miss this show!

As for the new music, a lot of it is done and stuck on a hard drive. I just need to extract it, get it produced, mastered and voila! Oh, if it were only so easy…

Many thanks for your support!
Kristy

We’re happy to announce that we’ll be playing at Skully’s Music Diner in Columbus on Friday, September 3rd.  The 18 and up show starts at 9 PM.

Hi all!  We know it’s been a few months, but we’ve been busy!  A quick update for all of you out there… we are still working on the album, and hopefully we’ll have an EP with some new music out sometime this summer.  We are also excited to announce that we will be playing a big show July 4th in Cincinnati, Ohio!  It’s been forever since we’ve played Ohio, so we’re very excited!  More soon!

Hi all!  We wanted to update you on live shows, album progress, life, etc.

First off, we have 2 shows on the East Coast in mid-March.  March 19th in Washington DC at CLub Liv and March 21st in Philadelphia, PA at SHampoo Nightclub.  We’re really excited for both and hoped to have new merch to sell.  We will have a new remix CD, posters, stickers and cool new baby tees and t-shirts, but it appears we will not have our new EP or CD completed by then.

Why such a delay you ask?  Well…

As some of you know, Steve Laskarides is no longer in the band and has not been since 2006.  There were many reasons, but we both have different drives and directions, so it’s all for the best. However, during that time, life got in the way along with some refocusing and new directions.  Between 2006 and now, I’ve dealt with: 6 hand surgeries, a wedding, increased workload/hours at my day job (as an architect), increased staff and workload at Nilaihah Records (which I run in the evenings and weekends), playing live shows (throughout 2006-2008) and touring (11/2008), purchasing a cafe/bar with my husband, working with new musicians, writing music and much more.  It’s hard to juggle, but I’m one of those types that is bored if I’m not extremely busy.  However, that can distract this lovely thing we call FOCUS.  So, I take care of what’s most urgently needed and move forward.  As you may be able to tell, a lot of the urgent “fires” come from my health, day job, record label, etc.

The ironic part in all this is we have around 15-20 new songs.  We just don’t love them all - yet.   We are working with at least 10 of those and seeing where they will take us to see if they are good enough for the album.  Being a perfectionist is hard, but adding lack of patience in the mix is even harder!  So rest assured, we are doing ALL we can to get this album out AND I’m beating myself up over the tracks at the same time.  A lot of additional work, but we are finding how we work together, what works best and such.

I know.  You just want the damn album out.  So do I.  Just know…  We ARE trying and hope to have an EP plus an album and many live shows (tour?) for 2009.   Remember, I like being busy.  I also love to travel and see friends.  So, there HAS to be an album for me to see you all and tour.  That’s our ultimate focus, even if it takes several more months longer than we planned.  Just promise me you won’t forget us… 

Kristy
