hey there, remember me? it's peter.
so marc melillo, of 106 revere road stewartsville,NJ 08886, has informed me that i should blog. here goes...
UPCOMING SHOWS:
thursday august 21st 12 center street metuchen, nj 8 p.m. as part of the metuchen summer concert series. it's outside. it's free. it's all ages. it doesn't start past your bedtime, so there is no excuse.
friday september 5th @ the annex 152 orchard street NYC @8 p.m.(once again) w/ third of never & the gripweeds. 10 bucks, 21 and up. we never really play in NYC, so this could be a good one.
saturday october 11th @ the court tavern 124 church street new brunswick, nj w/ the love trilogy and terminal reynaldo. not sure of the order yet, but i would personally go for ALL of the bands, as they are pretty friggin' stellar. first band @ 10:30 p.m. $5, 21 and up.
we have an unconfirmed ACOUSTIC show up in dave's neck of the woods(tarrytown, possibly?) on saturday november 1st, but i will give out more details after we get them all sewed up.
in other news, our new single will hopefully be out by the beginning of october. 2 songs, 7" vinyl. maybe we'll let you download 'em on itunes too, but i'd prefer you went out and bought a turntable. vinyl's back, kids. don't forget it. it's tactile. it's sexy. it's a petroleum product. it sounds awesome.
oh and work is still underway on our 3rd album. it's going to be a good one, if this single is any indication at all...
see you at the shows, unless you are a jerk.

recent recap and upcoming stuff...
this past wednesday(7/23) we had a terrible rehearsal. after that, we played a gig at the harvest moon. it was a total 180 turn from rehearsal. i love when that happens.
thursday(7/24) bobby and i attended the mastering session for what is now the former "super analog e.p."... we couldn't fit all three songs that we wanted to fit, so the record is now a single. i can say that if the final product sounds anywhere near as good as the acetate it is going to sound pretty damn good... i am excited.
tonight, i played at danny adlerman's open mike. as usual, once i got going, it went pretty well. it's always the getting up and doing it that is difficult. that and forgetting the title of almost every song i have ever written... what a pain.
next gig is on august 2nd at the brighton bar in long branch w/ the ribeye bros., and mondo topless. i hope we wipe the stage with all of them, in a friendly way.
see you soon.

It's 1:30am.
Twelve hours later and we're still mixing..... almost done. It's sounding FAB!
In the meantime - I've learned the art of conjuring magical spheres.
Love,
Bobby

Back in the House of Vibes
It 4pm - and Dave is in Studio B cutting a Hammond organ track and putting the finishing touches on "Gardening Man".
At 7pm - Peter will be here to finish "Love Bomb".
Then we will go out behind the studio and give a sacrifice to Satan.
Oh - wait - we don't need to give a sacrifice.
The good people @ The Sinclair Recording Company will be putting this out. You may remember them - as they put out our first CD - "Coloursound".
We will continue to record when time and money allow (and when The Smithereens aren't re-recording another Beatles album) - an we are hoping to have a full-length completed by Early 2009.
We'll be at The Harvest Moon on July 23rd. They have good beer. We'll be playing w/ Meet Me in Montauk. There will be good music. What more can we do to make you happy?
Send your song requests... or other requests on what we can do to make you happy to happiness@theandersoncouncil.com - and we'll see what we can do to accomodate.

BIFF! BANG! POW!
Had a power outage today around 5:30pm. node0 - the PIII 1ghz computer that has been hosting this website for oh so many years - did not come up after the crash caused by the power outage.
I scrambled to move the website over to my other web server. It'll stay here for a while.
2am now... time for bed. Big show tomorrow night in Asbury Park.
gnite...
