Fall Frolic Fun

Well, last weekend we played at a brand new fest in the beautiful rolling hills of Northwest Iowa. The Fall Frolic.  It was their first year, but they really had it all together. The people were super cool and kind. The sound was excellent. The vendors were great. Make sure you go next year, cuz it's one hell of a great party.  

This coming weekend, we have shows in Madison Wi, and Ames Ia. Friday Oct 10th, catch us at Mr Roberts in Madison.  Saturday, Oct 11th we'll be at Papa's Corner in Ames. 

We'll also be in Cedar Falls Ia at The Hub, on Monday the 13th for a get out the vote rally sponsored by Students for Barack Obama.

Hope to see you out!

Peace,

The Mayflies

Album Update

Well folks, at this time we have completed almost all of the tracking for our new (as yet unnamed) album. So far, the highlight has been James Robinson's drum work. I doubt James has EVER had so much fun in a studio. Rolling, thunderous, latin inflected grooves are the overriding theme for this session. Keep checking in, as we may post some rough mix samples soon.

Flat Black Studios is the place, and Luke Tweedy is our esteemed engineer. That man has great ears, and a keen understanding of the science of recording. Not to mention stupid-good microphones.

More to come.....

New album in the works!

Pardon the sparseness of our first blog entry, but we needed to at least get our motors humming. A new album is on the way, and is being recorded at Flat Black Studios in Iowa City by Luke Tweedy. Songs to be recorded include those penned by band members Stacy Webster, Dave Lumberg, and Jon Eric, and five additional songs by Patrick Bloom will be included in there as well. Keep in touch, 'cuz it's gonna be a scorcher...
