Hi friends! 2013 is off to a great start. First off, locking ourselves in the studio the last few months turned out to be be very fruitful. Ten new songs on deck for a new record and also to mix into our live set. We are super anxious for you to hear the new material. Lots of work yet to be done, so stay tuned for more details on the new release due out this year.
Speaking of live sets, we have begun booking shows for later this year. Check out the right sidebar under Upcoming Shows for all the most up-to-date information. We hope you stop out to one and say hi or if you know an awesome venue near you that you’d like us to grace, please drop us a line.
Also, when we weren’t busy writing new material, we recorded two unreleased tracks – an original and a cover which some of you know well from our live shows. Both will be included as bonus tracks on the vinyl version of our debut release which is currently in the production workings. Word on the street is that we may leak the one unreleased original tune as a digital single, so keep your eyes peeled – we wouldn’t want you to miss some new music!
That’s all for now – back to work for us! By the way, like our new haircuts? - MDR

Whew! It’s been a crazy, but awesome year for us: formation, writing, recording, debut release, playing tons of shows all whilst having tons of fun and making new friends. We just want to thank all of you for the support this past year and all of the bands and new friends we played with. We are very excited and anxious for 2013.
After a busy schedule of shows the second half of this year promoting our debut release, we are locking ourselves in the studio for the majority of January and February to work on our next record. We have a handful of songs just about completed that we can’t wait to throw into the mix of the live set. Woohoo!
Stay tuned for news about the new record, more shows for spring and summer, as well as other details about ninjas and spirit animals.
Stay safe - MDR

So usually we are knee-deep in music, but this time we’re knee-deep in producing a music video! We are putting one together for the song “Food Chain” off our debut release. If you don’t have the record yet, head on over to here and grab it. Rumor is we will have CDs and Vinyl of that bad boy soon.
So far the video going great and we hope to officially release it in the coming weeks. Can’t really spoil it too much, but it will be epic. We threw up a couple of videos on our YouTube page here to tide you over until then.
Also, don’t forget to check out our upcoming shows to the right. We have some fun ones coming up and would love if you came out to one to say hi!

Thanks so much to everyone who came out in Racine, Bay View and sweated with us at Summerfest. You guys make what we do so rewarding and we are humbled by your support. That said, the shows were absolutely awesome. See the photos of us at SF where we brought air-brushed tees back!
We are taking a little break from live shows to finish our debut record which will release late this summer. We have minor vocal tracking to wrap up, along with some finishing touches, and the beast will go to post production. We are still debating tracking one last brand new song for the release, so we’ll see if time allows.
The record is sounding so good so far and we can’t wait for you all to hear the final product. Keep your eyes peeled for a record release show/party in the upcoming months.
We will be back at shows by mid August with a concert cruise in the Milwaukee harbor. These things are a blast and we urge all of you to make it out! We’re also playing at the Riverwest Public House on September 1 with our good pals Animals In Human Attire and a phenomenal band from Chicago named Mutts. Don’t miss this one either!
Take care and enjoy the beautiful weather - MDR

We are so excited to be coming out of the studio soon to play an awesome handful of shows!
First up is Friday, June 22nd at McAuliffe’s Pub in Racine, WI. We will be rocking this sweet pub with our good friends Faux Fir. Let’s pack this place and make it one hell of a night!
Then on Saturday, June 23rd, we will play one of our local faves, the Cactus Club in Bay View. Faux Fir will be joining us for a second night of mayhem and Into Arcadia will open the bill.
Last but not least, we are very excited to be headlining the Cascio Interstate Music Groove Stage at Summerfest this year in Milwaukee! Come on out and show your support for us as well as other local talented bands. Should be a great show next to a great lake.
That’s it for now – later – MDR

Hi All,
Guitars are now finished being tracked and they sound terrific! Vocals are up next and there’s a rumor that we may squeeze in one more additional track for the record. We’ll see how that goes. We are also finalizing the details on a couple shows for the end of June in Racine, WI and Milwaukee, WI, so we will keep you posted on those. Should be good times. Here’s some photos from recent rehearsals:
Take care – MDR

Hey friends,
We are done tracking drums, bass and keys for the record! Such a good feeling. We’re in the midst of guitars, etc. and then we will finish off with vocals. Did we mention we used a good friend’s Leslie Cabinet for some choice keys? Sweet. Also, Chad may or may not play kalimba in this record. We’ll leave that up to the listener. Here’s some shots from the last sessions:
