more new music, and more
December 11th, 2007
Things have been entirely too quiet around these parts lately…or we realize it must seem that way. Rest assured we here at RJM HQ haven’t been resting on our laurels. We’re changing jobs, going back to school, getting haircuts and moving out. A new record is being written at an alarming pace. Exciting news about that very soon.
In the meantime, plans are under way to release our debut long-player, Hello, Old Cloud in March 2008. I know, we’ve been threatening to release this supposed album for months now, but we promise it’s going to happen this time. The world simply can wait no longer.
And just to prove that we mean business, we’ve decided to exploit our MySpace player’s spacious new digs and post another tune from the record, a honky-tonk circus nightmare lovin’-and-leavin’ number titled “Jesus’ House.” A longtime staple of the RJM live set, this sprawling studio creation finds the RJM core crew augmented by the following star-studded cast:
Paul Hiraga - pump organ
Eyvind Kang - violin, viola, cello
Keith Lowe - upright bass
Ed Vance - tack piano
Nathan Wade - singing saw
We’re proud to call them friends, and we’re sure you’ll all agree that they’re the bee’s knees. So what are you waiting for? Head over to the RJM MySpace page and have a listen. Digest and discuss!
Finally, we’re all raring to return to the stage on Friday, January 4 at the Crocodile Café, joined by our Seattle pals Pickwick and San Francisco pop dynamos (no foolin’) the Botticellis. This show is not to be missed!
Keep an eye on the Shows page for many more dates at home and abroad in early 2008…and stay tuned for exciting news about Album #2!
Wishing you all a wonderful holiday season, filled with love, wine, and whiskey,
