I have been working a lot on getting ready to record/ put out this album. I have taken lots of pictures for my album artwork lately, searching downtown to find some things that I think could potentially look cool for the fold out and back print of the cd. I have also done a lot of networking and through a friend found a graphic designer to put together all of my album art by editing and structuring all the pictures and laying it all out accordingly. Through meeting him I also now have him designing shirts in hopes to have them printed before the release date.
I have also been working on setting up the biggest possible CD release show I can get in my home town in Iowa on Friday March 26th. Through touring and playing in bands in that area for so long I have made friends with a lot of bands that will hopefully draw a big crowd to the show. I have dealt with getting ahold of the venue and figuring out, with them, the money situation and have come to terms on a plan that works for the both of us. On top of that I have been able to contact all the bands that I want to play and got them all situated and set up to play and in what order they will play. Also I have had to figure out load in times and pretty much just and overall schedule of the day and night of the show. I am now getting a team together of people who live in that area to start manually distributing fliers and local hang outs and also just other local shows in that area before time. I will also be making what I call a digital flier that I will start posting everywhere along with the other bands that are playing. I can then start a facebook/myspace event to help promote online and just to all the “fans” I have established via the internet.
I start recording drums in a week and then have about 3 weeks after that to finish recording everything else, mix, and master it. I just can’t wait to have it all done and out.
