NEW ALBUM SPRING 2012

Hello Friends,

I can’t tell you all how happy I am to say that after 4 months of writing a whole batch of new songs in the practice space with my 3 best friends/3 favorite musicians in the world, our recording dates are booked! It all starts December 28 @ 1867 Recording Studio with the loveable Chris McLaughlin. As far as the new songs, we’ve learned a lot from one another these past 3 years of being a band, and it continually amazes me how we all work together, stay in tune with one another, and remain close friends. These new songs are by far the best we have ever made as a band. I’ve been playing guitar since i was a kid, and I feel very happy knowing that I am in the band I always wanted to be in, writing the album I always wanted to write.

As far as the release of the album, we’re planning a Spring 2012 release. We’ll have more info and details on this in the upcoming months, so stay tuned!

We’ll be rounding out 2011 playing the WFNX Miracle On Lansdowne St. this Friday December 9 @ House Of Blues in Boston w/ Matt & Kim, and Mutemath. Tickets are available HERE

We’ll then be celebrating the new year with all of YOU! Playing a New Year’s Eve show @ Brighton Music Hall in Allston w/ Kingsley Flood, and Freezepop! Tickets HERE

See you all very soon. Have some happy holidays!

Love, Chris / Mean Creek
