sees the Japanese release of Garrison's "The Model +2" on that fair island country on the other side of the world. sexy, cool, very. One day if the winds prevail and the sun rests slightly in the seventh house, mayhaps someone will convince the boys to do another brief tour.

In Garrison-related news:

The Campaign for Real Time just finished recording some new tracks at New Alliance Studios under the steady hands of Ethan Dussault.

Ethan's band, Placer, are still working on their new record albeit slowly as their members are spread across the globe. We are all eagerly awaiting that little sonic gem.

Sadly Kill Verona are no more but no doubt Johnny will be back "crackin' skulls" behind the kit soon.

Instruction's new single "I'm Dead" hits the airwaves in mid-april followed by more extensive touring the the states and the United Kingdom with their new drummer, Steve Saunderson of Gameface fame.

and Gay for Johnny Depp will also be recording a new record with Ethan Dussault (does this kid get enough business or what?!?) at the end of the month to be released on the U.K.'s finest independent music label, the Captains of Industry. There has been talk of a short tour but those parties have been disposed of mafia-style.

the wheels and cogs still turn apparently, "the Model" will be released in japan this year with 2 bonus tracks, one being the song 24 from our first ever recording and the other is an unreleased song recorded during the silhouette sessions entitled "i'm a lover."

after tracking down some of our interviews from the world wide web they have been added to the site here in case you want to see how witty and sexy we can be when under the pressure of intense journalism.

more photos have been added as well in addition to two songs from our live performance on mtv italia during the be a criminal european tour of 2002, both appear on the media page.

all quite fascinating, i am sure.

in the meantime check out:
the (motherfucking) campaign for real time, placer,instruction, kill verona,
and the always beautiful, always talented gay for johnnydepp.

certain things never quite die. lonesome recordings/all about records will be releasing the split cd-ep of garrison and orange island next week. both of these worcester county bands offering up a cover of each other's song. they make ours sound pretty and rockin'. we make theirs sound cruel and noisey. and various skate/snowboarding companies keep taking our music for their dvds and such, making me wish i skated more as a child or something.
