The following is NOT something concocted for April fools. If it was, we'd be really terrible at April fools. I mean, yeah, we could tell you we're breaking up. Or we could tell you that we are teaming up with Detroit icon, and my personal hero Eminem. We're calling the project "Mirl Muts". You see, we're just not that funny. Plus, we'd rather not lie to you.
So here is some truth.
Girl Guts 4-way split is on the way! We're excited for Whoa! Boat's awesome involvement and getting this project brewed into existence. The experience has really gotten us super close with our friends in Caparza. They even bought me pizza once. They're a bunch of high class gentlemen. We have been given an expectation that that release will be no later than July 1st. The 7 in split will feature four songs (one song each) from four different bands; two from Bellingham and two from Seattle. Bellingham's side is represented by Girl Guts and Caparza. The Seattle side will be occupied by Death By Steamship and Ol' Doris!
We're going to tour! Lining up with the actual release date (at this time pending on the last week in June). We are going to take a trip down the I-5 corridor to help promote the album with Caparza, Death By Steamship, and Ol' Doris. We will hopefully make it all the way down to Olympia. We'll look forward to catching up with our friends in Full Moon Radio. We had a chance to play with them this past month, and we fell in love. If you have a moment, you owe it to yourself to check them out.
Speaking of tours, we're buying a van!!! Well, not yet anyway. We're earning money slowly but surely. So we just want to say thanks for buying shirts and paying cover to come to our shows. We love seeing our shirts all around town, its a real nice feeling.
Speaking of merch, more records!!! So we've been having consistent conversations with the guys over at Whoa!Boat Records about a 7 in release out late summer. This plan has been scrapped. Instead we're going to write and record a 12 song full length record. We are super excited. Sorry, I don't think that came across as intended. WE ARE SUPER EXCITED. We're going to work with Jeremy Magner again, since that guy is awesome. The album will include 9 or 10 new and/or unreleased songs and we are going to re-release 2 or 3 songs from Victoria. Let us know which songs we should get put on vinyl!
Friend news: Our buddies in The Palisades got a chance to head down to KEXP with Brent Cole of What's Up! Magazine and perform in studio. That performance was one of a kind. If you didn't get a chance to hear it, I'm sorry. Though, I wouldn't worry too much because these guys are set up for big big things. I'm sure you'll get a chance to hear them be amazing again. Word on the street is that while Brent was guest DJing, he threw our track on the air. So in return,our gratitude is thrown his way.
That's all for now!
Andy
