March 31st Live Performance

Cab Assassin will be playing a special show at the Chalkboard in Bethany Beach, DE on March 31st, 2007. The show will start with an acoustic set by the North Pole (AKA Brad) with some surprise guests, followed by the rock-onslaught of a full band electric set. Expect the unexpected. You have been warned.

Practicing and Writing for next album

Brad came over to Hurlock this past Friday. We worked on many songs including some new tracks on the acoustic guitars. Rob joined us on saturday and we rocked out a little, discussed music,, movies, marriage, parenthood, vacations, careers for many hours. Things sounded pretty damn good considering the three of us have not been at the same place at the same time in over a year. Here are some of the works/works in progress that we are considering for the next recording.

Quiet as a mouse

Introduction to the End

Ant-Climactic

The Creed of Apollo

Post-Rock Balboa

Metal Hut

Whisper Softly

Wreckage from the Metal Hut

The final installment of the 2006 Instrumental Demo Series is here...

WRECKAGE FROM THE METAL HUT is a compilation that packs 11 tracks together for your listening pleasure. There are a few unreleased songs and a boat-load of alternate versions that are much different than the "proper" versions on Jumbo Lump Riffs/Music is not Math.

So now we will lock ourselves up in the studio for months and months to see how LP2 takes shape. Some say 2006 was a year of Cab Appetizers, which means 2007 has to be the main course...and it should be super-tasty.

5+5=14?

As reported by Chief Baby, the 5+5=14 cd is now available. This CD combines the Limited Edition "Jumbo Lump Riffs" and "Music is not Math" EPs with 4 bonus tracks. All 14 songs give a glimpse into what will be the next LP from Cab Assassin, tentatively called "Cracking the Givenchy Code."

There is no official release date for the next LP, but the band will be spending parts of January and February in Bridge-Lock studio working on a bunch of the songs. We are hoping to have drums recorded to a dozen tracks by the end of February and then we will take it from there. Expect the next batch of Cab Assassin recordings to range anywhere from full-on rockers to stripped down acoustic songs with anything in-between. So for now, enjoy the instrumental demos.

Post Rock Balboa and Other News

We have posted an exclusive version of Post-Rock Balboa and 2 other songs on our myspace page. Feel free to download them and put them on your ipod or wherever. They have been up for a couple of weeks and so far the feedback is pretty good.

We have been bust rehearsing songs for the next album. Brad was in the studio earlier this week, and things sounded rather well. Rob will be in the studio today banging away the drums to some of the songs. We have a pretty solid list of 12 songs to practice and record for the next album, but we expect a few more to be thrown into the mix, as all three members have been writing a lot of new material.

We are all sold out of the Cab Assassin (Assn) Ltd Edition EPs. So we have decided to combine the two EPs together on one specially priced LP. The LP will contain all 10 tracks from "Jumbo Lump Riffs" and "Music is not Math" and a few demos/alt version will be added. The Combined CD will be available in January. Check Chief Baby out for more details.

We've been listening to lots of great music recently, so check out Pelican, Mogwai, Red Sparowes, Neurosis, or any other instrumental bands you can find.
