Childrens Church gets high praise in DIG Baton Rouge

While living in Lafayette, I worked on some different style recordings with my good friend Paul Kintzing (of German Error Message and Arabian Safari).
The project is called Childrens Church, and the debut EP is now available on bandcamp for name your own price. To hear it, click here.
Randy Faucheux of DIG Baton Rouge calls the EP "bedroom music with cabin fever." Check out the full review here.
If you enjoy Childrens Church, you can expect more tunes before the end of the year. Paul and I have tons of songs we didn't put on this release, and we're working on some more stuff right now.

Check out some live videos from our March 15 show

A couple weekends ago, we took the stage as a trio and rocked it. Check out our videos from the show below.

Get our latest stuff at our Bandcamp page now! 

All But Gone now online!

The new album, "All But Gone," is now available online here.

The album features five new tracks, including "Stranger," "Stuck in Here So Long," and "Season's Change." Yet all songs don't start with the letter "s."

If you download it digitally, you'll get a few specially made pictures. The digital download is now available for name your own price.

A physical copy of the album is also available. For $3, you can get a handmade edition with your choice of a limited edition poster with painting, or big poster with the cover, as well as a special edition postcard.

We will be performing live at Artmosphere on Friday, July 6 with Mahayla. More details coming soon. Like real soon. Like so soon, oh man, it's already soon, isn't it? Damn.

For now, enjoy the tunes.

Mmmm....newsbites

We're back, baby. Err.. we never left, but anyway....
We'll be performing live with Elsah and Bobcat at Northgate Tavern on Saturday, May 5.
Pretty excited about the show. We've been working on some new tunes, including "Green Tea" and a brand new jam entitled, "Love Song (In the Key of Who the Fuck Cares)."
The band will be headed to the studio this summer, doing a few songs which may or may not be featured on our upcoming Singles Collection — more info on that coming soon.

Don't forget about our latest release, the double a-side, featuring "Roach Motel" and "Saturday City Lights," which is available now at this link.

In other news, Loubie and I have been moonlighting in a rocking-ass four piece, entitled Teen Hustle. Do check out their three-song debut EP, One Hundred Beers of Solitude. It's badass and free, unless you wanna donate some money to that cause.

Also, what do you think about this little design on the bottom here for a t-shirt? Do tell!

NOLA show pictures, upcoming shows and more

Last Friday's show at The Circle Bar in NOLA was amazing. Thank you to everyone for coming out. A very special thanks to Mahayla (who are amazing), Lovey Dovies (also amazing) and Sally Asher (for taking some awesome pictures...see to the left).

Barryfest was there, and they also took some pictures. The photo gallery can be viewed here.

If you missed the show, we'll be playing Friday, Feb. 10 at Red Star in Baton Rouge with Secret Smoker and Neighborhood Threat for Heartthrob Skateboard's three-year anniversary party.  Stay in Baton Rouge Saturday as Heartthrob will host a Skate Jam and show at BREC Skate Park with live art and music from our good friends Secret Society in Smaller Lies.

The next volume in the SPPLIT series will start recording in March. The new disc will feature us and Pacifico.
