Catching Up

So it's been a while since this has been updated. Our summer tour ended a few days prematurely with Marty on the lam from John Law. After getting home, we decided to recharge our batteries, as we spent pretty much 95% of the first half of 2010 writing, recording, and releasing music, not to mention being on tour for a full month and a half.

Since the summer our relationship with Sis has soured, and like all good break-ups, this one seems to be taking a good few months to finally coalesce. Not to fear, though, because standing in the shadows of previous Silent Way full band lineups comes...(drumroll please), the new rhythm section. Featuring New Brunswick all stars like:
Phil. Phil is famous for his work with New Brunswick's own Slaw and his groundbreaking work in the Rutgers Computer Labs. Phil is a dude who plays bass who would, in continuing Silent Way tradition, never consider himself a bassist. Welcome aboard Phil!

We also have Eric from Brick Mower fame joining us behind the kit for a notable conflict of interest. Eric already spends the majority of his free time in the Silent Way basement as he uses it as a meth-lab disguised as a practice space for some of his Halloween cover bands. We've told Eric that we will take his drumming in lieu of rent money, and he has agreed to sit in.

Since getting back from tour in May, we've played one New Brunswick show, and we have two lined up in November:

November 11:
Silent Way
Neon Blud (Tampa)
Pollution (NYC)
Kicking Spit

November 19:
Radio Exiles (Record Release)
Libyans (Boston)
Silent Way
Big Eyes

With Eric and Phil, we will be writing and recording a new set of about a dozen and a half songs. Some will be on an LP, and the rest will probably find their way on to a split or two we are hopefully going to be able to put out in the first half of next year.

We are excited to be working on new stuff. Hope you enjoy!
