I’ve been stagnant in the blogosphere but I’ve had the busiest week in a while with the music side of things.

First, “The Glory EP” has received its first review. I won’t reprint the whole thing on here but if you care to read it, please check out the link HERE. It’s a pretty positive review [...]

We’ve been invited to open for Fountains of Wayne next month at UMASS Boston. The two-time Grammy nominated power pop band has been around for over 10 years but has found critical and commercial renown over the last 5 years following the release of “Welcome Interstate Managers” and the hit single “Stacy’s Mom”. We’re playing [...]

Today I began my first concerted effort to start pre-production for the album, which will begin recording on or around August 19th. The big thing at this point is to choose about 15 songs to tune up and work to a fine point and ultimately around 10 to record. Unfortunately, i have too many songs [...]

I’m sad to announce that Andy Renault has left The Late Greats (hopefully for only the time being). He moved out of our Cambridge apartment last week and is unable to further commit himself to playing bass for our band. It makes me sad because as long as I’ve been in bands, I’ve more or [...]

It’s true. Wednesday night I made the move from Apartment #3 to Apartment #2, which was essentially moving down a floor. I no longer live with the Cahill duded. I like with Max (my drummer) and Austin (an 18-year-old guitar whiz-kid). My room is bigger and I pay less rent (which is awesome) but we [...]

I’m looking to find other ways to save money this summer because I’m trying to save up for the CD, which we hope to start recording in July or August. I applied to a couple jobs on Craig’s List to blog for an entertainment site and a sports site and all ready heard back from [...]

I’ve been waiting a little while to write a blog about this because I wanted to make sure I had it properly digested before I wrote about it. I almost wrote upon receiving the email but decided to wait until I was cooled off and after I thought I had an understanding of it.

Anyways…I wasn’t [...]

So for one week, Coldplay has their newest single “Ivy Hill” up for free download on their site. This is surprising because it is a week before the single’s ’street date’ and it’s going to make a ton of money…but bravo for them for offering it for free and they’re also playing a FREE show [...]

So, we fell a little bit short on Our Stage this month. Thanks to everyone for the fantastic support. We were top 10 in two channels–the Newport Folk Festival and Radio 92.9’s Earthfest but weren’t able to take either title home. It’s definitely draining getting the word out and trying to drum up support so [...]
