Spring Time = Indie Rock Time

Drums and bass parts have been recorded for 8 new Cab Assassin songs. The next recording sessions with Rob and Steve are tentatively scheduled for late April in Hurlock, a session with Rob and Brad will follow soon after. The new LP and a split with the Spoon Fed Adults should still be recorded and released by end of summer, sorry for the delay. In the meantime...

Rob has been picking away and rocking out on his newly revamped Heritage guitar. All those years absorbing music have really paid off. He is a complete natural and has even been writing music to be included on the next Cab Assassin record.

Brad has recorded a second North Pole ep with 7 songs. This comes after Brad's conversion to the digi8trk world - he has been busy experimenting with new sounds/songs and is now engaged to his long-time girlfriend.

Steve has been playing playing & writing new songs and spending time with his new son born on Feb 2.

Since the band is in hiding for a little while longer, spend this spring catching up on yr. indie-rock. Dinosaur Jr's "Green Mind" and "Where You Been" will be re-issued with unreleased material in May (they will be touring again and recording new songs in the summer), and the long-awaited new Built to Spill album arrives in April (also touring).

May your riffs last an extra long time -
