"Hemophiliac" out now... and FREE!

Hey All,



You can download our new EP, “Hemophiliac”, for FREE @ BANDCAMP!



For some back story, we were originally planning on going into the studio to record a full length album, until about a month ago we found out that we weren’t going to have any financial support for the recording. We decided to record what we could afford to record ourselves. This release is entirely self-funded, and we want to give it away to anyone that is interested in listening. If you feel so inclined, you can “name your own price” and pay us whatever money you see fit for it, and if you want it for free, simply put in 0. Feel free to share this music & this download link with anyone you want. Post it anywhere you want. We hope you enjoy it!



For some info on the EP, it was recorded & produced by the wonderful John Agnello @ Headgear Recording Studio in Brooklyn, NY. It was mastered by Nick Zampiello @ New Alliance East in Cambridge, MA. Our good friend John Allen took the beautifully strange cover photo. Our good friend Pat Morin did the artwork design of the physical CD copies which you can pick up at any of our upcoming shows. And last, but not least, the talented, Nick Curran, who took some lovely photographs.



We will be celebrating the release of this new EP in Boston on Saturday January 29 @ Brighton Music Hall w/ Taxpayer, Girlfriends, & Dirty Dishes, and in NYC on Saturday February 5 @ Pianos w/ The Vandelles, The Party Faithful, and Boom Chick. BIG thanks to all the bands playing these shows and to all of the people that have helped make this EP possible. We love all of you.



See you in the pit!



Love, Mean Creek

WE BE IN THE STUDIO!

Hey everyone,

We’re currently at Headgear Studio in Brooklyn! We’re here recording our upcoming EP, “Hemophiliac”. As I type this, the great, John Agnello, is getting Mikey some monster drums sounds. Sounds deec, to say the least.

Check out video of Mikey’s luscious locks:


And Erik's roaring bass:


Until next time...

Love, Aurore
P.S. We also joined Tumblr, so feel free to check our updates over there, or continue to check 'em here at the BLOGSPOT site.

NEW ALBUM IN 2011 / 2010 BMA'S

Hey Friends,

We'll be playing our last show of the year tomorrow night up in Portland Maine @ The Space with two great artists, Audrey Ryan, and The No. 9. Should be a lot of fun! Looking forward to seeing all you Mainiacs there!

We'll be taking the rest of the year off from playing live to finish up writing and preparing to record our new album in January with producer John Agnello (Dinosaur Jr., Sonic Youth, Hold Steady). The album is slated for a Spring 2011 release.

We're very grateful that "The Comedian" was nominated for "Song Of The Year" & "Album Of The Year" @ the Boston Music Awards this year. There are A LOT of amazing bands/artists nominated, you can vote for us & them here: http://www.bostonmusicawards2010.com/vote

2010 has been an exciting year for us. From recording "The Comedian" with John Agnello, to being on the cover of The Boston Phoenix, and doing tour dates with bands we love from the east coast to the mid-west. None of it would be possible without all of your support, and we are eternally grateful for it. We'd like to thank all of the people that have helped our band out in even the smallest way this past year, it means the world to us. Thanks for helping us achieve these things we work so hard for, and helping us create music, memories, & moments we will always cherish.

Have a fun & safe Thanksgiving, Christmas, & New Year. SEE YOU IN 2011!

Love, Mean Creek
