The Skinny

Aiea is Doomed

Things are looking like we will be playing a show the 16th of December at 4Play. This is our first show there and it is a benefit for "No Suck Fest". I don't know if the bill has been finalized, but i do know that 2 Face 4 is playing, and *fingers crossed* our sisters in Laverne & Shirley as well. Information will be adjusted accordingly as they become available.

Unfreezing Process

Well now, i guess it IS true. Iron Lung is playing shows in Hawaii, and MVBT is playing both of them.

Rehearsals will probably begin at the end of the week and will be the first time we've played together in over a year. Sure, we recorded the demo and other tracks together late last year, but, tracking was done at different times. Status updates (here, or the myspace, or facebook) to come.

At the moment things are at a halt. We have gone into suspended animation for what seems to be an indefinite amount of time. This was true for live shows and still remains that way, more or less because a) we'd get the run around hustling for a show and then be treated with disregard. b) there really aren't any bands we'd be interested in playing with and i suspect the feeling is mutual. Although, we would spring back if out sisters in Laverne & Shirley can get shit rolling at full capcity then maybe just maybe we'd play a show.

As for writing and recording that too is at a halt. We have a total of 19 completed songs. All 19 songs have been recorded to our satisfaction late last year while recording our demo. It was the economical thing to do. Nine songs appear on our demo, which a handful of people have. One was sent out for a compilation to out on Mortville, and the other nine are to be for our split with Wadge. Actually i don't know for certain if all of our "unreleased" songs are going towards the split, or if we're going to tuck some away for another demo or some such thing. This remains uncertain.

Speaking of the demo, we sent out some to friends that were personalized, We also sent out a bunch for reviews and some even got picked up by a couple of distros (To Live A Lie, and Give Praise).

We're not dead or dying. The creative jucies just aren't flowing at the moment so why force anything. We never worked that way and never will. Hell, we're not like other bands our situation, being two people and machine, makes our mode of operation very different from a "traditional" band set up. There really isn't a lot of coming together to rehearse and brainstorm together. Everything is done seperately. Solitary. Alone. Even for recordings, sure, we are together in the same room for all recordings and such, but, nothing is recorded together. It's always seperate. Music is done first. Vocal recordings follow soon after. In fact, there are several songs we've never played together. Again, this is just how we are and the way we work.
