Hey! So it’s been a while since we went up to Aaron Embry’s studio, but we went back on Thursday to record the last 2 songs of the record(plus one extra!). We were supposed to go back yesterday but I picked up the local cold and had to stay home. Rescheduled for Monday! Friday and Saturday after Thanksgiving will be vocal overdub time. I’m really stoked, out of the three songs we recorded on Thursday, only one of them had been planned on being recorded for a while, and the other two just sort of popped in. We think it will add quite a bit to the whole thing. This has been a crazy year, we started recording around this time in 2008, and took a few very large breaks, but it’s nice to have the old and new both so prominent in the record, because the new stuff is different and exciting, and has more nuts chord changes, which means sophistication. I took two Mucinex DM and a Claritin, STRAIGHT TRIPPIN! Good time to work on album art, which I’m supposed to turn in as soon as possible.

We’re playing one of our favorite venues, Pehrspace in December on the 5th! It’s all ages, 5 bucks, and with the wonderful Foot Foot. Very excited, Pehrspace is a wonderful place. Nice and Small, nice people, etc.

Good music stuff:

Alice Coltrane - Radha-Krsna Nama Sankirtana
Fred Frith - Guitar Solos
Dam-Funk - Toeachizown
Ariel Pink - Worn Copy

Hay, we’re going to Santa Cruz on Thursday! We’re playing back home in Long Beach at Visions Art Fest at Millikan High School(FREE) on Friday. We’re going to Visalia on Saturday! On Thursday the 19th we’ll be playing at the Prospector(21+) in Long Beach, and on December 5th we’re playing with Foot Foot at one of our favorite places to play, Pehrspace(All Ages) in Los Angeles. And, good news, I just got one of these:

it’s crazy!

so the good news is as you may have already heard, our upcoming record will be coming out on subpop spring of 2010! very exciting for us, and we’ll have a 7 inch they’re also putting out for us at our show on November 5th! It has the songs “What’s in it for” and “Jessica” on it, both recorded at Hunter’s Hollow Recording Studio with Aaron Embry who will also be playing that night! i did the artwork for it. it looks totally crazy! Also Fort Wife gig this week at Caseys Bar and Grill in Downtown LA this Thursday, and don’t miss Boris Smile and Korey Dane in Long Beach on October 30th at Open Books on 4th and Junipero.

Howdy, it’s Avi, just finished practicing with Fort Wife, we’re playing a couple times this week: tomorrow night at the Gypsy Lounge in Lake Forrest and Friday at Echo Curio in Los Angeles! Exciting things are happening at here at the basecamp, you’ll find out about soon enough! We finished soundproofing our practice space, and now we’re putting posters up everywhere. Still very excited about the Avi Buffalo Echo show on November 5th, and will be until the day after, which will be November 6th, on which night I will be playing the first show in about a year with So-Cal folk-troupe Boris Smile at Open books in Long Beach. Hooray! Here is a song by Jim O’Rourke called Ghost Ship in a Storm from the Eureka album. If you haven’t heard his new record The Visitor out on Drag City you should, it’s really great!
