Hello everyone! Thanks to everyone who came out to our SSM showcase at the blind Pig in Ann Arbor earlier this month. Ann Arbor-ite Brandon Z. has uploaded videos of Those Transatlantics, Javelins, and The Pop Project from the show. Enjoy! Those Transatlantics: http://tinyurl.com/pwayy Javelins: http://tinyurl.com/nurc9 The Pop Project: http://tinyurl.com/mk2yo In other news, our 2006 SSM sampler CD is finally here. It features two tracks from each SSM release back through (and including) the Javelins LP. This is the place to get a sneak peek at the forthcoming Child Bite and Pop Project LP's - you can get your very own copy in the store, or by asking one of us very nicely in person. Ok, on to the band-specific news. Good Times. - SSM --------------------------------------------------- El Boxeo: First off, we must say how terribly excited we are right now. Reason for said excitement: "Awake & Dreaming" is 100% done, in our hands and AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE. Currently, you can order it online at subsprawl.com, or buy it at all Suburban Sprawl shows. On Aug. 29th it will be "released" to stores across the US (and Europe?).

Tell your western-half-of-America friends to come out the the shows. Tell them that we'll love them for it. Tell the to bring ear plugs too. We can be pretty loud. Lastly, we'll be celebrating the release of "Awake & Dreaming" back at home with (most likely) two "CD release" shows; one in Lansing and one in Detroit or Ann Arbor. More details on that soon. --------------------------------------------------- Child Bite: We shot a couple videos recently, for the two songs that happen to be on the 2006 Subsprawl Sampler. Those will be done in the next month or so, and will be sweet (we deliver on the miniature horse promise!). They are the 2 "singles" off of our debut. Speaking of which, our album "Wild Feast" is at the plant right now, so it will be in our hands in time for our tour in August & September, including the Detroit release show at the Magic Stick on August 24th (official release in October). We have some friends coming on tour with us, including Jon from the Casionauts on 2nd guitar & a couple dancing animals. Oh, the remix EP is also underway; expect to see that closer to the end of the year. --------------------------------------------------- Those Transatlantics: Its been awhile. We've been gettin around, playing shows, doing our thing. We have a few more coming up this summer. We are going out to New York at the end of July, and we are playing in Chicago and Toledo before the summer is out as well. We might try and sneak a Mt. Pleasant show in before fall hits too. We'll post info on those shows when they are all confirmed and whatnot. Back at Camp Pleasant, we are RESTING and starting to work on new stuff (yessssssss). Several Trannies have been demo-ing of song ideas, so we are just starting the process of making sense of all of that. Come see us on the east coast!
