5/26/2008 - patrick meese and the kingdom of the crystal skull
hey party people.
this is nathan, thought i’d catch you up on the recent goings on in the band named after my family.
we’ve been in california recording our new album on and off (mostly on) for the past two months and all i have to say is i hope that you have seat belts securely fastened for the first time you listen to it. because if you don’t theres a good chance that you could get thrown from wherever you happen to be. its that rocking. its that shaking. its that moving.
out of the 16 songs that we’ve recorded, 16 of them have came out great. we’re currently recording pat’s vocals and his voice is a dripping honey comb of sweetness. seriously. i knew he had “chops” but this is out of control! he sounds great. so thats what pat’s up to. here’s a run down of the rest of the band:
MIKE: mastered the online game “magic pen” by having visions in his sleep on how to beat really hard levels. has also seen several movie stars including that one guy from the 1st season of lost who gets blown up from the TNT outside of the boat “the black rock” in the season finale.
BEN: has read 3 books from the wheel of time series, utilized the video chat components on his computer and has consumed atleast 10 pounds of orange chicken since the beginning of may.
and me? i’ve grown a great big bushy beard and have become addicted to jambaa juice (original size coldbuster, no sherbet, sub bananas, green caffeine boost - try it sometime its amazing.)
so that’s whats going on with us. we miss all of you and can’t wait to get some shows lined up to rock your face into the next town over. the album’s taking shape and it’s living up to our grueling and outrageous expectations that we have set in place for ourselves with the hopes of giving all of you music to live and love to for the next couple years of your lives.
talk to you soon and forgive all of my run-on sentences.

The guy that Mike saw, the one from lost, his name was Arzt, right?
Or something like that?
That’s pretty cool.

16/16 songs are great? those are pretty good numbers right there.

Almost a month and no updates?! I can’t be the only obsessive fan dying to know what is going on with the album or any tour related info. My new years resolution was to see you guys live, but as of right now - almost halfway through 2008 - I’ve missed every show and will miss the Mile High Fest.
Also, why are there previously released songs on the progress board? Why isn’t “Beeline” or “Seven Eight” (still the title) on there? The sound quality for those songs on youtube is annoying.
Anyway, I can’t wait for more.
