The Next Political Party Release!

I've had this idea for awhile now of doing a live studio album with some of the many bands who pass through Austin that I've become good friends with. Originally, it was conceived as a compilation, similar to Everyone Living Under A Gun, but with all original tracks recorded in Austin.

I realized how expensive it can be to release music on a somewhat decent scale, and sitting on songs for months when people can be listening to them is sort of a drag...

So in April of this year, expect a 12 song free digital compilation from some of the bands headed down this way for the annual SXSW celebration! Going for a very raw feel with this one. The bands will be recording 2 songs each, it'll be mixed just a tiny bit and available for free download a couple of weeks later!

I'm really excited about the bands taking part and can't wait to see how this turns out!
