THE BEST LAID PLANS, ETC......


Things have changed regarding the planned November release of dog eared on a previous label. The new plan is for a street date of 24 February, 2004 (just in time for Valentine's Day....) on Low Heat Records (www.LowHeat.com), distributed by the good, good people at Redeye Distribution (www.redeyeusa.com). They should have it out through their extensive network of major and independent retailers, Internet sales outlets and even cutting edge outlets like iTunes. The album is already making an impression, though, even before it's released. It's already been licensed for possible use in soundtracks for MTV's Real World, Road Rules and Extreme Sports shows. And another popular television show has expressed interest as well--details to follow.

Be sure to check out The CMJ Monthly Magazine (College Music Journal) website in November : Can't Feel My Soul will be available as a free MP3 download. .

The February issue will include Disconnect - track 2 on the new album on it's free CD with every copy. Pick yours up as soon as they're available!
