so its brought to my attention that i haven't been keeping everyone up to date with whats been going on with the band. so here's some updates and some things to come. as we speak we are finishing up the final touches on the album. look for the album to be released in late february/early march. we just want to say thanks to steve wethington for his time and patience along with everyone else at the new fidelity studio. we haven't been playing much over the past few months as we are concentrating on finishing the record. although we did play two shows over the holidays. one was dec 28th at the southgate house with roma 79 and heavy rockers-riddle of steel. a big thanks to everyone that came out. no thanks to gentleman that told me i had to lug all the gear back outside and bring it in the front. also, we learned that sometimes its good to have a ryder for the night, even if it only includes a so-be energy drink, a mountain dew and a snickers bar. but as i was told, "we'll talk about that another time." the other show we played was a new years show with our good friends, mad anthony. if ya get a chance check these guys out live, great stuff. i always liked playing on new years, it gives ya something to do and you always get to hang out with a good crowd of people. thanks to mad anthony and andrea(wednesday) for inviting us to play. we had a blast! KTS would also like to give huge thanks to chris cromer for attending both evenings and taking lots and lots of photos for us. some are posted on the myspace page but i'm sure others will be popping up soon. speaking of that, we will have a new website that will correspond with the release ofthe album. drew bogner, drummer for covington, will captain the web ship that is soon to leave port and surf the high seas of web design. as of right now we have two shows in late march. we will be playing in cleveland,(maybe/hopefully)march 28th with this moment in black history and on march 29th we will be back in marquette, mi. to play with our good friends sah and hornet. i have a feeling its going to be a long, great weekend. unfortunatley we have no plans after that, but we will. as soon as the record is our hands we'll be signing willy nelson......"on the road again, i can't wait to get on the road again......" see ya soon. 10/01/2007 hello to anyone including our web designer(hey drew), who has to input this whenever i get around to sending him some news. we've been busy, busy, busy the last couple of months. you could say we extended our welcome in cincinnati to playing as many shows as humanly possible(not really) but hey, you gotta pay those band bills right. although many have said we've played too much the last couple months, we as a group decided thats how we were going to pay our bills as a band. such as previous touring and promoting expenses. hell, its beats digging into our already empty pockets, plus it gives us something to do. of course, it did get a little tiresome there for a second, most notible was playing to nobody(except color out of space from sommerset, great band i might add) at the infamous gypsy hut in northside. but as a good friend told me the other day, "cada dia es un dia nuevo!" but we love this town and there are a lot of great bands here and afar and that how you meet them right? thanks to everyone who did come out to the shows, no thanks to the patio squatters and the nonpaying $40 bar tab people to boot. well, right now we have a handfull of shows till until we take a break, roughly somewhere between october and january and here they are: 09/21/2007 08:00 PM - Ink Tank , Cincinnati, Ohio - downtown cincinnati aurore press book release benefiting the disabled american veterans 09/22/2007 08:00 PM - Madhatter 620 Scott Street, Covington, Kentucky 41011 - madhatter. with covington, ampline and dropsonic 10/05/2007 09:00 PM - Gypsy Hut , Northside!
