Status updates: Why hasn't Job John Rise been released? and Shows!

If you noticed that Old Soybu's EP hasn't been released yet, then that's completely correct. But what isn't correct is that we forgot about it. I have been very sick this past week and so has Starlon. So there has been absolutely zero amount of time for us to finish said EP.

We have the lyrics, melodies, and tracks all ready to go but our voices had been destroyed over the week. So hopefully this weekend we'll be able to record and finish up the EP for next week! Also, we started going back to college again, so that kinda slows us down.

In another good news, How Scandinavian is still working on releasing it's first single of the year. It'll probably be our first double A-Side single and will hopefully be out sooner than most expect. We've been gathering up a whole lot lately and some of the new material has been a treat to play. So more on that later.

Also, How Scandinavian has some shows for February and March! Woo hoo. They are as follows:

February 4th, 2012 - Cedar Center
February 10th, 2012 - Undisclosed High School
February 19th, 2012 - Battle of the Bands #36
March 3rd, 2012 - The Industry Theater

New Release: How Scandinavian - Dolorous / Upcoming plans!

Big news. The How Scandinavian debut album Dolorous is out right now. I'm promoting the hell out of it by posting it in god knows where. So please give it a listen and give us some feedback. This is my first real big release and I hope that everyone enjoys it. You can go download it and pay what you want for it (free!) right on this widget thing...



I can't relax just yet though, some big plans are underway for the remainder of the year. The first annual Chief Tizo Thanksgiving Extra Stuffing Eat-You-Out November Festival Extravaganza 2011 is due to happen and much planning is in the works. I hope to make it a big occasion just like Festizo 2011 was this year in the summer.

Also How Scandinavian is going to release a split EP with the post-punk/lo-fi band The Latecomers (check them out at http://breadonbread.bandcamp.com) next month! It's going to be called Narcissists and should be an awesome collaboration. It will contain two songs by each band and will be out on November 1st!

A new EP is also in the works for possible December release or early 2012 from How Scandinavian. Our next Chief Tizo release will be a new compilation of Ghost Time songs, which I've delayed long enough. So stick around for that in November as well!

Thanks for reading (any of you who do!)
