In a minute...
We finished 'Death Dreams' this week. We have yet to play it live, and have only played 'Anatomical Theatre' live once, and that was as a 4 piece. So at the Feb 10th show at Pleasure Island we will have both of those in the set and the tracks on the EP. Just fyi in case anyone is like me and likes to hear setlist spoilers.
We are preparing to record this May. As it sits we are going to Skylight and we are stoked on that.

Shows:
Feb 10th:Pittsburgh
March 6th: Maryland
We might be playing Parkersburg on Feb 7th, but that is not solid.

Client State EP is out

Details include being recorded by Brian Spragg (Morgantown, WV), mixed and mastered by Vince Ratti (Fairless Hills, PA), and recorded in about 5 or 6 sessions; nothing extreme.
If you want one, let us know. We can dice in some buttons and sickers as well.
We had our first show this past weekend at 604 Arlington. I think our last show was the sixth of November; a two month layoff. So we wrapped the cd up, and wrote a new song that we played at the 604 show. We have some plans to head to Canada this summer and play a few shows and record for a vinyl release.
We will be adding shows around southern, northwestern PA, western/central MD, and in the parkersburg area of WV/ohio. Lot of places and friends in those areas.
Right now we have a show in St Albans on the 7th of April, so we will add more as we get them.

About time
it's a tricky thing.
We finished recording all of our tracks with Brian Spragg (Morgantown, WV), of it's Birds, and sent them away to be mixed and mastered. We will get to all of that in the next post when we have the songs back and done.
You have seen the packaging, and we will include the lyrics, so get at us if you want a cd, button, sticker, or spraypaint shirt.
The halloween show was awesome. Having Don the Reader hop on was super, and we have plent of pics on the myspace, plus more to be put up. We do have vid from that show.
The 123 show with Trigger Effect the next week went well. Jarred made it up specifically for that show. It is pretty amazing when your friends move away to move further in life, but still make special trips to see what you are doing and especially with this band, it is an appreciated effort. I hope more people can get in to our shit like that, but if not who fuckin cares. Jarred is awesome. Plus its pretty great when all of your friends that may see you practice, or see you a couple times a month still come out and pay money to go to a show. That is definitely appreciated cause we have played shows to zero people like every other band has, and it is better when you are in your home town and have a good amount of your friends occupying the immediate space. Parkersburg was like that too. Thank you Trigger Effect for playing that show too. Swell men.
Our next booked show is in April but we will have some more before then.
We finished a new song this week, and will be starting another one here in the next couple weeks. No slow song yet, but we will get there...in due timeI do not think we need to write one actually. Cursed and Trap Them have covered that base well enough this year.
New vid up on youtube, and more to come. We have more vid from that Pburg show, and the Halloween and 123 shows yet to put up.
For now, that is everything going on with Ancient Shores.

Real Tuff
The Epic show got cancelled. Pulled out from under 5 good bands.
The 213 Green St show is still on for Sept 26th. We will post our flyer for it if we can find an operating scanner.
Also still on are the 10/2, 10/3, 10/4, 10/31 shows. The Halloween show is suited for confetti and good times. Come hang. Thanks to Andy, Matt, and Evan for hosting the 10/2, 10/31 shows and Chuck for having us at Yesterdays on 10/3 and thanks to Justin and Jarred for getting us a house to play in on 10/4. We appreciate the hospitality. Shit has just been whack with getting shows together.
Evan starts tracking drums Sunday (the 21st). Not sure about guitars, bass, and vocals yet. It might be a drums only EP.

We did not get to record at Skylight. We had our dates. We had to cancel them.
We will be recording at the same studio as It's Birds! We will post those dates when we get them back.
So many things going on in the world. Plenty of surf videos from summer '08 will be going up, election '08, football, baseball playoffs, replaying footage from the olympics, some really rad movies, etc.
Please go check out the King of Kong on DVD, and if you have netflix, it is a 'watch instantly' gem.
We hope to see you all at shows. We will be happy to riff out in any cave, just come out to rage. We got some buttons and stickers in, and made some new shirts. We will be pressing our cds ourselves, just printing out our own cd labels and making our own sleeves with the artwork we showed you on here before. If we actually put prices on items, it is always at cost. We are not in any debt or anything so spend those extra dollars on tips for bands that are on the road 10 months a year or putting themselves in serious debt for the privlege to play in fron of you/us.
