We’re busy as usual and have posted up performances of two cover songs recorded from our recent session at Studio 216 on our video page and YouTube channel. The songs are “Dropkick The Punks” by The Faint, and “Wolf Like Me” by TV On The Radio. Comment and let us know what you think, especially if you’re familiar with the original artists’ versions!
Also, we’ve added a plethora of new shows to our calendar! Many are cheap or free, and we plan to debut a few brand new songs soon, perhaps as early as our show at The Grotto on the 15th (hint hint!).
In other news, Josiah Hunter (you may recognize him as the TV viewer in our video for “Overboard“) has recorded a really cool cover of our song “Pulse”, which you can find on his MySpace page. Add him and let him know what you think!
Our new single, “Get Your Own Friends” is now available for sale on all the major digital music distributors (iTunes, Amazon, Napster, Rhapsody, Emusic, LALA, ShockHound, and more)! Listen to it now for free with the music player located at the top of our website.
We wanted to have something to show all our fans from October’s studio sessions, where we streamed our recording process live via Ustream throughout three days. This single represents the first recording released towards our full-length album. We will use this single to continue raising money for the album, and keep up the good work in the spring with another recording session. We hope you enjoy and stay tuned for more!
The story of Ben’s stolen guitars has come to somewhat of a close. Although neither of the guitars were recovered, we’ve made some great friends in the area that took it upon themselves to help out. An awesome show was thrown last month at The Grotto with the goal of helping replace the stolen gear, featuring Nasty ‘Stache, Peru, and Gold Jungle. As it turns out, one of the first pawn shops Ben visited while combing the area for signs of his guitar had the exact same model as his. The show provided the funds needed to return and purchase the guitar seen below.
A few words from Ben: “Thanks to Matt from Meander, Katy from Webbed, and Cody Admire from The Grotto for putting the benefit show together. Thanks to Peru, Nasty ‘Stache, Gold Jungle and Daniel from Meander for playing the show and donating proceeds to the cause! Thanks to all the friends who contributed, even though they couldn’t make it to the show, and thanks to all the fans, and the grotto family for your support. Replacing that guitar really meant a lot to me, and it wouldn’t have happened without the support of all of you.”
2010 is going to be a busy year and we’re not wasting any time! Immediately following our free New Year’s Eve show with Solcide and Slow Guns, we have a three day songwriting session at Studio 216 in Granbury. We plan to close each day of the session with a Ustream broadcast scheduled to start at 8pm on the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd. We’ll be showing off what we’re working on live each day, as well as debuting a brand new HD music video for Overboard on the second day. On the third and final night, we plan to perform an entire set of songs both old and new, as well as some covers. If you haven’t yet seen us on Ustream, visit our channel here to see a few clips from past broadcasts.
In other news, you may have noticed that our calendar is void of any shows in January. I (Michael) will be having a non-emergency surgery, but will be back and better than ever for the shows we have lined up in February and onward.
Thanks for a great 2009. Here’s to the new year!
We’re almost done with our new single, titled “Get Your Own Friends”! In the meantime, I thought I’d give our subscribers and twitter followers a sneak peek with three free ringtones taken from the song. The single will be released sometime in late January or early February.
Get the ringtones on our download page, or use your mobile phone to text AutomorrowGYO1, AutomorrowGYO2, or AutomorrowGYO3 to 69937.
We’re a few days late for Thanksgiving, but to everyone who has been supportive of us over this past year, and also to those who helped spread the word about the theft mentioned in our last entry… Thank you!
Last night at The Grotto in Fort Worth, two guitars belonging to Ben were stolen from his car; A creme-colored Washburn electric guitar with a single-cutaway body and a black pickguard (pictured above) in a black rectangular case, and an Epiphone acoustic guitar with a Seymour-Duncan acoustic pickup mounted to the body in a black hard case. These were taken the night after Ben’s birthday, and we just want them back. Please pass this along. If returned, no questions will be asked.
Our recording session earlier this month went great! If you didn’t get to join us in the studio via Ustream, we’ve just put up a few photos from the session and clips from the live broadcast. You can view clips on the new stream page in our menu, at top. This page will also display future broadcasts and chat. We want to try this again soon, so I’ve created a new poll below to find out what everyone would like to see the most. Take a second and vote, or comment and let us know what you think!

We’re workaholics and we need help! After the studio we plan to do a shoot for a new music video, but we need all the analog TV sets we can get our hands on. You know, those things that have displayed static since June? Get in touch with us if you’re in the Dallas/Fort Worth area and can offer up a set or two, or three. If you need them back, lending is fine too! The filming will take place at the end of the month, but we’re trying to build the set as soon as possible, so leave a comment or contact us with details if you can help out. All contributors will be credited in the video.
Also, don’t forget to stop by our Ustream channel starting this Sunday the 11th to watch our progress in the studio! Anyone can watch, but you’ll need to register (its quick, and free) to be able to chat with us. Follow us on Twitter if you’d like to know what we’re working on and when to watch (ex. “We just started tracking vocals!”).
Should I be updating our graph?
We’re going to the studio, and you’re invited!
Next month we’ll be returning to the studio for what will be the first of many sessions over the next year as we work on our first full-length release. We plan to come out of this particular session with a single to show off by the anniversary of our Diver EP release in January. We’ve decided to let anyone interested get a glimpse of the recording process live on Ustream. We will broadcast a view of the control room via webcam, with the ability to listen in on our progress. Ustream also offers the ability for users to chat with us throughout the three day session.
Be warned! We will be keeping ourselves busy and the process is sometimes tedious. Even so, we hope you’ll appreciate the candid nature of it, and that you’ll stop in while you trod through your internet routine. Tentatively, our schedule will be 3pm-11pm on October 11th, 12th, and 13th. I’ll be sure to keep everyone updated over the next few weeks with the details. See you there!
We now have free ringtones and wallpapers available for your cellphone through Myxer. You can browse our current selection below, or text Automorrow to 69937. Myxer charges absolutely nothing, but make sure you know whether or not your service provider charges for media messages before you go grabbing all of these. Let us know how this works for you, and what you’d like to see added!
Also, the video for Open Up that was put on our podcast last week is now available on YouTube. Check it out here, or visit our YouTube channel. Pass it on!
