    Good luck with the solo gig. Let us know if you're ever playing in Houston.

    last night was a lot of fun. big thanks to Better Dan, Flagg & themessenger for coming out! there were some other PJ folks there, but i didn't know their board names. in any case, thanks a lot for coming out you guys! it was a trip revisiting some of my old songs...some that i hadn't played in 10+ years. :shock: i also had some fun with a few covers...played Tom Petty's "Walls", did a duet with my wife on Damien Rice's "Cold Water" & even snuck in a little Pearl Jam by playing "Last Soldier." i really had a lot of fun. looking forward to the next show already!!

    in Cluthe/Lee news....we have several songs that are just about done & we should be posting a couple of them this week. Chris just wrapped up the mixing for a song i wrote called "Red Clouds" & another song, "Unfolding" is just about done as well. we'll be sure to let you all know when they've been posted!

    thanks again for the support, everyone. it means an awful lot to both of us.

    Matt

    hey everyone....
    we should have those 2 new songs (Unfolding/Red Clouds) up by the end of the weekend!

    also, we're taking a new & exciting approach to mixing & mastering our 3rd album (still untitled at this time) & i'm just about to start working on the preliminary steps that we need to take. sorry that's so vague, but we want to see if it'll work out.

    we'll let you know when those songs are posted!

    have a great weekend...

    Great songs!!!! :clap::clap:
    Just had to listen from the PC, this stupid thing won't let me listen to them. Really enjoyed Red Clouds, like you said, can see it being great live. Hope one day to see you guys live, maybe in Oz hey? :P :D thanks for the stories behind both too, always makes it more interesting to know the backstory. ;)

    The new songs again are great guys! Red Clouds seems like a moment that had to be captured and I'm glad you did, it's a song that would be great to build an album around..... ;)

    Just sayin'...... :D

    Discovered that I can stream songs from the site perfectly from my android..... :D

    What does the change of location mean for you now Matt?

    thanks for listening, Gary! :) glad you liked Red Clouds....it's a quirky little song & that bridge comes out of nowhere. we had a lot of fun with that one! i'm also glad that you can stream the songs!

    the move was a bit hectic & my wife & i are glad that it's over! we moved to Dallas for my wife's internship. the upside for me is...well, we aren't in Waco anymore! ha! also, there was nowhere to play live in Waco & that is not the case here. i've already played one show & have a few more lined up. so, it's allowing me to develop the new songs in front of an audience, gauge their reaction & bring those new idea/experiments back to recording with Chris. it's making me play more (which is good) & write more (which is great!).

    it's only temporary, though. we'll be moving again later this year. we have our eyes on Portland or Seattle. :)

    :shock: :o

    holy crap. some cool news to share....

    we've mentioned that we were having a sound engineer do the mastering for our 3rd album....well, we gave him all of the tracks for one of the album songs...a song called "It Spins" & it is blowing up in my ears. wow. chris & i both knew that this album had a different feel to it...it's a bit dirtier & louder...it rocks more. but damn. the mastering is taking it to a whole other level. so stoked to release this album & share it with you all. we won't be posting the mastered (final) versions online...they will only be available if you buy the cd/download (hopefully vinyl!).

    thanks for the love & support!!!

    That's understandable, I've heard its pretty pricey. Look forward to the albums release anyway! ;)

    Hey guys, nice work again! Crooked Building caught my attention the quickest, there's almost a whiff of Mark Lanegan in there for me and the guitar sound is really great by the way. I know it's not really heavy but it's definately approaching a harder style than a lot of your previous stuff, I like it! Hopefully album three will have a few of these. Not to say I don't love the more mellow stuff! I wasn't so sure about In My Time at first but I was listening to it really late and didn't want to wake the baby so I gave it a couple more listens through the headphones and that was all the problem was, I just didn't play it loud enough! I think what you guys are doing is on par or better than a lot of established, successful artists so hang in there and keep producing this fine music and someone will sit up and really take notice. I have to say as a final point, I think you guys have really improved as writers but more so as musicians and to be gelling so well when you are virtual strangers in the flesh is pretty astounding.... :clap:

    thanks for your thoughts & support, Gary!! :)

    song update....
    2 new songs (The Ghost/Give Yourself Away) are entering the mixing stage & should be posted within the next week or two. they sound completely different & we're excited to share them!

    recording update....
    i had some fun recording with the mandolin today. there's a great tune called First Light that sounds nice with a little mandolin here & there. then there's a new song i wrote on the mandolin called Snapshot. it's always fun to break away from your comfort zone & try something new.

    (quick update of sorts...)

    Two new songs (The Ghost/Give Yourself Away) are coming soon......Give Yourself Away is done & mixed...The Ghost is getting close! We'll be releasing them at the same time.

    The mandolin song (Snapshot) is still in the recording stages. Chris' parts are done and mine are as well....I just need to record my wife's vocals & then I'll start mixing!! I can't wait to hear how she sings this song! :)
