usernamenumberApparently some people were sad enough about our concert with Sassafrass being scheduled opposite the Masquerade that they *contacted the con about it*, and when a slot opened up on Sunday evening it was offered to us.
That's right, there will now be TWO Stranger Ways / Sassafrass joint shows at Arisia:
- Saturday, 8p-10p
- Sunday, 6p-7p
Sunday's show will be a one-hour version of Saturday's two-hour show, a little less formal and possibly a lot more sleep dep'd. So if you can't make Sat, or you want to maximize your chances of seeing me embarrass myself, check it out.
Also, don't forget that Arisia will mark the release of our new album, Guilt, Angst and Fairy Tales!
I've been listening to the album on repeat for days now, waiting to decide I actually hate it... and I don't. It's so hard to get out of one's own head when listening to this sort of thing. I keep asking myself "how would my singing sound to someone who wasn't me?", "would people who aren't me cringe at that mistake, or not even notice it?", and tell myself "remember: normal people have an EQ in their heads that makes the drums always sound like the most prominent part of any song...".
But while it's hard to self-assess, I think I can say with confidence that production values and complexity of the songs are all steps up from our previous work, and while I don't think I'll ever be completely satisfied with anything I create, I feel ok saying we sound like a Real Band, and that if you've enjoyed our previous output, you will dig this.
If you haven't heard the sample track yet, it's available, well, right here, complete with an intro that, while a bit cornball, is the closest thing to audio theater I've produced in a while, so I regret nothing!
