Last night, or rather, early this morning, Spencer said "Hey, we should make a blog. That'd be a great idea!" and I was all "Yeah, cool, neato, let's do it."
So here we are!
This is where you will find any sort of updates regarding things concerning band activities and other nonsense regarding us. Honestly, we'll probably post a whole lot of useless crap here, but if you wade through the mess of our boredom, I assure you that you'll find something at least slightly informative. (Well, hopefully.)
I might as well start this little blog thingy off with a quick update regarding what's going on in the world of Fastest Kid.
To sum it all up in three words, WE ARE BROKE.
Broker than ever, actually.
We're currently "in the studio," but we won't even be able to finish our currently untitled EP until we somehow come up a decent amount of money.
For a little bit of insider info, the drums are DONE! But, that's all. Seven tracks. Some old, some new (well, new if you haven't seen us live lately).
Once we make some dollars, we can actually go in and record guitars and such, followed by bass and vocals and then maybe, just MAYBE, we'll press it and release it for your listening pleasure.
Other than recording, we have a quick, regional tour in the works for mid-late July, so we'll hopefully be seeing some of you then!
Last, but certainly not least, we're trying to get back into the swing of writing so we don't have some huge gap between an EP and a full-length. Besides, our heads are somewhere else musically now that we've been playing together for the past two years and have all matured as people and musicians. Times change and so do musical directions, but we're hoping you'll all be pleased with the end results.
To end this with a little cry for help, PLEASE BUY MERCH.
