Here We Go!

Hey guys! Thought we should give you some updates on what's going on with "Great" to the End among other things!

-We're Recording!
We've been working non-stop these past couple of weeks laying down new tracks. Every single recording done sounds great, and we really nailed down our style for this one. We're not sure when it'll be done, but expect Great to release sometime this Spring.

-The Singles!
"Evergreen Hearts" was just released last Tuesday! It was the second out of the three we're planning on releasing before Great comes out, the first being "You Say I'm Bad". The third single will come out sometime in February... and drum roll... it's going to be "Drop the Key"!

The "Evergreen Hearts" single!

-The Shows!
To make sure we don't get rusty, we're still working hard to perfect our routine and we're going to be playing various little shows when we get the opportunity. Our next show is coming up on the 1st of February. We'll also be having an album release show when Great finally hits. More details on that later.

A fine example of the MW experience: "Rewind" live!

-The Documentary!
Yeah, you read that right. We are indeed making a self-made documentary right now. A lot of people don't know what we do; all the hard work we put into Mistletoes and Warheads. This documentary is going to change that. It's going to shed light on the whole progress and give our fans a glimpse of what we're actually like in real life. The documentary is going to cover the whole recording process of Great, up to the release. It'll be a mash-up of interviews, handy cam footage, performances, and slap silly humbug antics; it'll be all wrapped together with background tracks from Great. The documentary's name is "Great to No End" and will release sometime after the album.

-The Future!
So what all happens after Great? Well, to be honest we don't know! I can tell you we will not be taking time off. We already have a bunch of creativity brewing as a band, as well as many ideas for new songs and directions. Blasting Satisfaction! X]

Updates!

So we've been hard at work doing band stuff for the past couple of weeks and I can safely say that I am exhausted out of my mind. We released the first single from "Great" to the End, You Say I'm Bad, for free on this blog as well as Itunes. I'm humbled by the warm reception it's been receiving so far, and it's the perfect indication of what's to come from Great. I've been hard at work writing the release and working on test recordings for a while now. It's been and is going to be a grueling process for me. I'm extremely proud of what we've been producing so far as a band and I'm excited for the new direction we're taking. Plenty of fans got a taste of the new music from our first live appearance at the Teen Center last week. It was a fantastic set, and I'm once again humbled by all the buzz after. We'll be playing a show come November 10th (@ the IPR release party) as well as a huge one in December. More info on that will be made available soon. As for other things, I'm also going to take this moment to announce our new single: "EVERGREEN HEARTS". Look for it to come out sometime this holiday season. As for the album release, look for that early next year. Peace out world.

What Am I: Status Update

Hey guys! How have you been? I've been doing fine! If you haven't noticed, I've taken a break from being MW for a while. Just like after I released Enter Me, the release of Asshole Anthem took a lot of energy out of me. A lot of people don't really realize how much effort goes into making these songs, let alone promoting them with those music videos. It's a lot of work, and I hate to admit it but sometimes I can't handle it. So, I took a break. Well, now I'm back (again)! Coming back from my absence, there are some things I have to address. This blog post will do just that and maybe more.

-What is the status of What Am I?
-What Am I is still on schedule for a 2012 summer release. That being said, it has become a very tight schedule. I have outlined a schedule of what I have to do right now to get that summer release. I fully plan on following through on it, but some sacrifices have to be made. The song list will get cut down. I know fewer tracks sucks, but I just don't have the time. It also opens up more possibilities in the future for me to explore as I will be able to use left over material for a release down the road. Coming back around, it will be out this summer and it will be awesome.

-How about a release date?!
-I do have a planned release date! It will be revealed along with a new separate song in July. Keep in mind it will be pretty late in the summer due to the release process.

-What about that new music video!?
-Yes, I know it was supposed to come out this month! It has been delayed, but for a good reason. I don't want it to be overlooked and I also want it to really push the album. I have big plans for the last video. It will come out within a week of the album's release.

-What's after What Am I?
-I really can't answer this at this point. I can say that this won't be my last outing. I will be back. How long will the next release be from What Am I? I can not say. I need to focus on other projects after What Am I, but I will always be MW. I will always be writing and making music. It's just a part of what I am! :)
