Updates: been a while, how ya been?

Dustin — Thu, 26 Apr 2012 01:28:00 +0000

Holy shit, its been forever since I’ve posted anything up here.. I guess with the disintegration of HST, no releases in the works, having been focusing on a new band, and being tied up with work, school and internships, I lost interest in the label for a while.

So here’s what has happened since my last update.. Tes Elations decided to self release their album instead of releasing through H2BAM, a decision which I whole heartedly support. They are good buddies of mine and I want the best for them. I’ve heard the album and it sounds really fucking good. (how’s that for an in depth review?). Their record release show is on May 11th at the Bootleg Theatre.

In other news, Halloween Swim Team disbanded in December (more here). I’ve since been focusing on a new project called HABITS. I’m currently writing and recording songs for a full length album. We’ve been playing shows since late December and have a couple shows coming up this weekend. One of them with Virginia Reed!

Furthermore, I’ve been trying to step up my game with graphic deign / flyer design.. You can check out some recent stuff here. Lots more to come.

Also, I’m sure this is super old. but it made me laugh a lot today:

Here are the flyers for the shows I mentioned:

Just thought I’d drop in. Hopefully I’ll get some things going here again soon. I just re-registered this domain for another 2 years… so i guess the microwave will be here, being.
