Update Winter 2012

It has been a long time since I've posted anything on this...obviously!

In the music world:

We last recorded and put up downloads of "That's the Ticket" and "The mountain Man"
on bandcamp.

Currently we are working on TFSA "Roughing up the Suspect" which is an 8 song album. It only needs vocals, but I also have to write lyrics too...for all 8 songs!

There is also another two songs (maybe after Monday Nov 19th it will be three!) that will be an ep called "All the kings horses." It was going to be a new album that is more acoustic, but we had to cancel a lot in the last few months, so ep it is!
One song has almost all the vocals finished, but the other needs lyrics still.

As for Waves of Mercury, Antony Johnson http://www.antonyjohnston.com/
wrote all the lyrics and they are wonderful! If you have not read his work on Wasteland, Coldest city, Queen & Country or a bunch of other things, check his stuff out!
This is four songs that we decided should loosely have a Seasons theme.
I have recorded vocals on two songs, and partial vocals on the last two.
This album is heavy! A lot heavier than even "The Great Darkness" and has a very doomy feel (like My Dying Bride) to it.


In the personal world:

Greg is having a baby! Well, not him, but his wife is!
It's a boy, and the working name for him right now is "Boris"
He won't tell me the real name.
The child will be here before Christmas and the "Army" will be put on hold for a few months...lucky I have so many songs to sing.

David in the last five months :
Getting a divorce.
His nephew Philip moved in.
Working new jobs.
And met a new and absolutely awesome woman that he is smitten with. :)

We hope 2013 is awesome for us and all of you!
