Massacres Update

From the Massacres myspace blog:

"Greetings to you all, fellow fiends and ghouls!

Just a quick update to let you know that The Massacres will be heading into Mystery Street Recording Studio the weekend of the 5th and 6th of January to record a new EP, tentatively titled 'Redemption' (although this may change). If all goes to plan and on schedule, this will be released through Bouncing Betty Records, based here in Chicago and will be our first vinyl release! I am thinking that we will be including CDr copys with them too, so at least you can hear what it sounds like, as we appreciate that not everyone has a vinyl player (even some vinyl collectors!). We are still undecided on how many tracks we want to put on there, but rest assured that our 2 newies 'Love You To Death' and 'Six Thousand Miles' will be on there. Stay tuned for more info on this release.

Massacres are currently taking a break after a rip-roaring finish to 2007 with the Beat Kitchen show supporting our good friends from Detroit - The Koffin Kats. It was a killer show and had a great turn out, its always cool to see everyone out at the all ages shows and if we keep it up, it may increase the frequency of all ages shows in Chicago. We shared the stage with our boys Johnny Murder and the 25 to Life, who have come on leaps and bounds. This band is going places, remember where you heard it first :) Love Donut, anyone?

We'll be taking a rest for a wee while, but thats not to say we won't be doing things, we are writing new material for a second album (2 tracks which are on the upcoming EP) with others already in the raw stage, and revamping some merch here and there, and also some new stuff too, so keep yer eyes peeled. We won't be doing any live shows for a little while either, as January marks the arrival of my baby boy, so I will be getting used to the role of 'dad'. This is a very exciting time for me, and somewhat scary, as this is unchartered territory. Watch out for Massacres 'onsies' coming soon lol!

On that note, I think that just about covers everything. Have a fabulous New Year, and we'll see you for more horror in 2008....

I remain, your most humble fiend...
