New stuff!

There is new music on our MySpace right now! We posted a song called "Whistle" from our upcoming demo, but it will only be streaming for a week, so make sure you get a chance to check it out!
Over the past few days, we've been shaking the cobwebs out and writing together again. Some of the new songs we have are coming together really nicely, and we've even started demoing and doing preproduction for the studio EP we'll be tracking soon. Overall, there are just lots of good ideas floating around which makes for exciting times (whether or not anyone cares yet). Either way, count on this: 2009 will be the year of the Ferris Wheel!

e-songs

Today, New England was bombarded with probably 5-6 inches of snow (though I'm not positive, because I haven't even so much as looked outside). We had made very tentative plans to practice and were forced to postpone them, but that didn't stop us from being productive - via the wonders of technology, we have 2 or 3 new songs in development and leads on a few shows for the spring!
Just thought you guys might want to know that we do in fact have more songs than "Lay Down" and "Baseball" (and "Geneseo" for you OurStage users).

FIRST POST WOOOOOO

We are now officially part of the BLOGOSPHERE. WEB 2.0 FTW YEEAAAAHH

By now, you've hopefully heard the songs we've posted on MySpace and OurStage, and perhaps you're even wondering what will become of them (other than the chart-busting radio hits of 2009).
They, among others, were recorded at our home/project studios from July to August. Unfortunately, by the time we were getting ready to head back to college, most of them remained unfinished or otherwise unsatisfactory. Then, about a month later, we decided that select tracks could be salvaged, remixed and released as Goody Twos, our inaugural CDEP of these home recordings.
So now that an eventful and productive semester has passed, we will reconvene in our basements and bedrooms to put the finishing touches on Goody Twos and have it out by February 2009. In addition, we're setting aside further recording time in the spring with intent to release a proper studio album...I'll save details on that for another blog entry. :]

Tentative Goody Twos tracklist:
1. The All-Time Train Dodge
2. Whistle
3. Paper Cranes
4. Lay Down
5. The Wrigley Field Faithful

Upcoming shows:
Sat. 28 Feb. 2009 @ T.T. The Bear's Place (10 Brookline St., Cambridge, MA) - TBC

Yours,
Mike M./Ferris Wheel
