NEWS: 11.04.06 MAPLEHOOD REKKIDS VINYL RELEASE earlier this week, we hammered out the details for our first ever 7"! it will be a split featuring MHR's very own indie-rockers The Aquatic Record & the RFT's best new band Rats & People, with release scheduled for early 2007. keep your ear to the ground for more solid information!
NEWS: 09.14.06 BACK IN BLACK hey, so this is pretty embarrassing, but WAIT i can splain: so first there was Will Rock For Food III & the time-crunch factor associated therewith, & then there was some other stuff (home improvements & the like), & then there was WORK (the devil) & also maybe family-related things, & so i neglected the website. i did, i'm sorry. i'll mend my ways, baby, i promise. first order of business: bear cüb! post-commichung jazz-influenced mathrock + thumb piano = "most hoggy" (according to bryan basler). ideally there will be an early 2007 release; realistically, if ian spends the spring semester in spain, it may be more of a wait-&-see affair. second order of business: The Aquatic Record will shortly begin work on a follow-up album to "When Sitting Silent Gets Too Quiet," tentatively titled, "Swans in the Forest, Wolves out to Sea" (it came to brian in a dream). the album will be recorded on the first floor of my house in late autumn for a mid-spring 2007 release. they've snagged some really excellent shows in the upcoming months, including an opening slot for Elf Power tomorrow night at Blueberry Hill! third order of business: ryne shaved his head & sold most of his CDs busking on a street in iowa city last month. fourth order of business: Stendek is supposedly starting pre-production on his third album out in las vegas; MHR's involvement with this album is still up in the air, but i will do my best to keep you informed either way. he was interviewed earlier in the summer by a representative for Boss/Roland for their podcast series, which can be found here (edition #4). finally, on a more somber note, MHR's family has gotten a little smaller; caroline (our beloved Suit A) hung up her rock'n'roll hat following Will Rock For Food III for a number of reasons, the primary of which are: 01. she's returned to school to pursue her master's degree in teaching & time is definitely an issue & 02. she just wasn't feeling it anymore. these things happen. i guess this makes caroline MHR's mogul emeritus, right?
