So everyone probably knows Chris is quitting Wooden Kites. As said before, it sucks and we're gonna miss having him in the basement, and in the van and all that stuff. Que sera sera...
But, Chris has been nice to help us out with our remaining local shows and the new recordings we're doing over the next few weeks.On July 12 and 13 we'll be recording our song for the split 7 inch w/ Quief Quota here with one Jason Hutto twirling the knobs and whatnot. We're pretty excited (plus we'll get to have "recording" oriented blogs once more). On July 26 or 27 we'll be returning to the same studio to record a mystery song for a mystery comp that will be coming out in the fall.
Last weekend, we played a slightly ill-conceived "festival" in Collinsville, IL (which always has a warm spot in my heart). At which we labored through a short and fun, but incredibly sweaty set. Afterwards we did the average load out procedure, leaving gear in seperate piles within a near proximity to the Wooden Kites van. While i wasn't paying attention, a local C-ville drunk takes off with my synthesizer. Luckily eye witnesses saw the perpetrator steal it (vigilante justice is not popular on the east side, apparently). The Collinsville PD were eventually called and to my utter surprize they tracked down the thief and my synth within an hour (apparently he had passed out behind a truck about 2 blocks from the scene of the crime). I will never utter "fuck tha police" again.
Anyway, things are hectic around here for now, and thats the way we like it.
