End of Summer Update and New 'Take Away' Song For Everyone!

Thu, 30 Aug 2012 15:27:25 -0400

Hey Everyone,

We haven’t been posting too much in the past few weeks, we’ve been working hard on our new full length album that is to be released this fall.

As a special treat to you for all your love and support we’re putting up a recording of our song “As You Go” available for free download on bandcamp (link below)!

And lastly, we’re extremely excited to be playing Lark Fest, one of our favorite music festivals in the capitol district, at 12:00 on September 15th. It’s a free show for all ages. We’ll have a big announcement for you as well! It’s our only show in September, and we can’t wait to see you there!

TAKE AWAY: TRACK 4: (THE MISSES)

The show this past Friday at Valentine’s with Northern Faces, Slaughterhouse Chorus, Nate Danker and Olivia Quillio was amazing! Thank you to everyone who came out and helped make it one of the best shows in a while. Right before the show we snuck into the backstage room and taped another “take away” session for you guys. This is one of the new songs that will be on the next record that we are working on right now. It’s called The Misses. Erik played the keyboard part on his IPad with SoundPrism, John and Kyle joined in with Vocals and Acoustic guitar. We hope you enjoy it!

Applehead Recording: Day 2

On the second day of our recording retreat, Curt finished the last 4 tracks for our new album with an obvious face of victory!

We also made some new friends. While Curt recorded the drums for our song “Animals”, we hung out with them instead.

In all, our recording retreat at Applehead was a great success, and we can’t wait to come back to do the rest! A special thanks to Chris Bittner for all the work he put in during our stay!

Applehead Recording: Day 1

Sat, 30 Jun 2012 20:11:49 -0400

Hey all!

We’ve just returned from an amazing couple of days down at Applehead Recording in Woodstock, NY. We’ve began tracking drums for our new album.

We camped out in our bus while we were down there. Getting away from the city and into nature was very refreshing and a lot of fun for us.

On day one Curt was able to get through 7 songs of drums. It was awesome to see Chris Bittner at work doing what he does best, drums.

To watch all of day one check out our YouTube page: www.youtube.com/thecityneversleepsny

ALSO!

This Friday (July 6th) we are playing an AWESOME show at Valentines (Upstairs) with:

Doors 6:30/Show 7:00 - $8 - 18+

Stay tuned for DAY 2 @ APPLEHEAD RECORDING!!!
