| We need time! |
|
|
|
| Damn. We're trying to work on the new record. Promise. But delay, after delay, after delay...... We've stopped booking for the most part though and we're going to get some shit done now. Or at least that's the plan! Writing, writing, writing - that's what we're doing right now. In fact. I should be writing instead of writing this blog entry. WTH is wrong with me. OK. Stay tuned for showz... |

| Recording with a Grammy Winner |
|
|
|
| Damn. We knew Eric Delegard (Reeltime Audio) was a Grammy winner. And we had heard plenty of bands that he recorded. That's why we chose him. But when we were actually there in the studio with him it was even better than we expected... |

| How Often Can We Change Our Mind? |
music: Pearl Jam and Gorillaz
|
|
|
| So we're still going to record a new record. And we're still going to record some songs with Eric Delegard in Denton next week. But we're not going to record them all. Drew suggested this initially and I had other ideas. Because it's been soooooooooooo long since we released a new CD. But... |

| Recording Begins February 9th |
|
|
|
| 2005 was a bit of a rough year for us. New guitarist AND new drummer. Well that shit is pretty much past now. We have 10 or 12 songs we're ready to record. And it's time (way the hell past time actually) to record a new record. |

| New Guitar Player |
|
|
|
| Some of you probably already know. We have a new guitar player. Kenneth split on good terms. His day job became pretty demanding and he really didn't have the time to do the band thing anymore. It was fun Kenneth. So who is the new guitarist? |

| Ballista on the Buzz |
|
|
|
[Note!!! We originally thought this was going to air THIS Sunday 11/20 - but it's actually NEXT Sunday 11/27]
Oklahoma City radio station the Buzz 94.7 has been running a new show (well, it just started within the last couple months) that includes only Oklahoma artists every Sunday night from 8PM to 10PM - hosted by Lacey (Lacey, you kick ass!). Ballista's track "Believe This" has been spun multiple times on the show already. But tomorrow we're going to the station to record an interview spot that will air NEXT Sunday (11/27). We'll also be playing a couple acoustic tunes... |

| Hello Drew, Welcome to the Band |
|
|
|
| So what's the first thing you should do when you're in a rock band and you lose your drummer? Why go out and book a show, of course! Preferably on a date that's only one month away! Hey I figured it was going to be a good show - and surely we'll find someone to at least sit in with us. At least this is what I told myself when I booked the show. But the truth is boys and girls, I was straight stressed out about this shit... |

| Vandal Scandal - The Last & Final Chapter |
|
|
|
| You know this story started out pretty interesting. If you have no idea what in the hell I'm talking about - check back in the archives. Or you could do the whole Pulp Fiction thing and read the end of the story first. But whatever. You need to understand though, that like most sequels, the Vandal Scandal has become less and less gripping with each installment - this final chapter just isn't very damned interesting at all... |
