One of the unintended pleasures of making this new album and re-establishing a web presence is discovering fans we never knew we had. Our first album which was home recorded and released in 2000-2001 by Turn Records, made its way around the world despite a very small pressing. One friend saw a copy in a record store in France. I think we did 500 or 1000 copies and printed the covers by hand.
Recently, I’ve talked to an artist who lives in China and a girl who found our album in a dollar bin and I got this really cool email From SGT. Dan:
“Thank you guys 1.21 gigawatts. Your first album reminded me of all the girls I shoulda, coulda, woulda during my ”vacation” to Iraq after high school back in ot 3. As a matter of fact, Wedding Feast was the first song I learned to play by ear on the guitar when I came home… Don’t stop the Music.
your fan,
SGT. Dan”
Now if that doesn’t warm your heart, I dunno what will. Now pre-purchase our album. It’s in the mixing stages. It’s gonna be great!
i DO have a faulty ticker; though it has been warmed none-the-less!
Oh yeah. Andrew’s got one of those too. So hard to be politically correct.
