Compilation SCHMompilation

New Silent Way song on Lake of Fake series.  The album's not on the Bandcamp page yet but will be eventually.  It'll appear on the Silent Way page at that point, too.  The packaging is very cool featuring the record, copies of both covers, bands insert, and an obi strip.  Super limited run (less than 200 made) and we only have a handful of copies so get at us if you really, really, really want one.

Lake of Fake is a project conceived in 2010 on the PRF message board.  Funded by a (now closed) subscription, Lake of Fake records have been appearing in subscribers' mail since 2011.  48 artists over 8 records.

Lake of Fake no. 7.  12" 45RPM.

Old Bands, New Bands, and a Single

So... there were a handful of unpublished drafts floating around from various years that I guess I never finished/posted.  Okay.

Since the last update, Silent Way:
Finished out 2011 with a handful of shows.  
Played maybe a show or two or three in 2012.
Played a Fugazi cover set in 2013.
Recorded a single in January for the Lake of Fake record series and should have our hands on that wax by the end of the summer.  
That's pretty much it.

Rob and I started a new band, Vert. Slums, with ex-Appendix/SS Cygni bandmate, Dan Ball.  No recordings yet but we've played a show and have one scheduled for August.


In 2013 I put out another Half-Century Mark album, Evergreen.  A few of the songs were originally supposed to be Silent Way material that never happened. I have another one almost-finished/almost-scrapped.  I have a download up on the bandcamp and Stone Age Records is also hosting it.


Clever Girl is also intermittently a thing as is Les Trois Chaud (although I think the onlyofficial recording I'm on is on the One Hour From Anywhere comp).

happy 2017
