Album Update

Hey everybody!

Been quite a while since we updated this here blog - and we're doing it now with good reason.

We have tracked for 2 weeks in Woodstock and the East Village and are now in the home stretch of making our debut album. We have two more days of tracking left and then it is on to mixing and mastering - very exciting stuff.

Also, next weekend we will be playing some shows with our friends at The Bullpen in Washington, D.C. We play at 9:30 PM, August 19th and August 20th. So grab a brew, a dog, and a band member's body. Also, we will be playing a 'band crawl' with our friends at LocalHeadphones.com on September 17, at the Clarendon Grill. You won't want to miss it.

Excited to play some new tunes for you guys! See you soon!

Trigger Finger Itch RELEASE!

Friday the 10th at Black Finn in Midtown Manhattan, we unveil our 2nd music video!

Be there as we screen, for the first time, our music video we shot with Comedy Central Studios, "Trigger Finger Itch". It's ambitious, it's nutritious, and it may be litigious. Join Trix, Chocula, Lucky, Tony and the Cap'n for a night of drink specials, T-shirt giveaways, romance and the unveiling of our 5th band webisode, The Making of Trigger Finger Itch. It's going to be a great time, for a great cause. It's GRRRREAT!

Festival Express 2K10

Hey All!

Just wanted to keep our little puppies updated on what the members of everybody's favorite idiot rock and roll fivesome has been up to. First of all, thanks to everybody who made it out to Rock and Roll Hotel this past Friday, it was a lucid dream come true. Speaking of shows, there's a couple industry events we will be performing at in the very near future.

We are playing Midpoint Music Festival in Cincinatti, Ohio next weekend, as well as Dewey Beach Music Conference and of course, CMJ Music Marathon in our home turf of NYC! We are taking an unofficial hiatus from club dates for the rest of the year to focus on writing and making plans to enter the studio to record OUR DEBUT ALBUM! Practice last night went pretty sweetly, we had a cool idea and dug quite a few more out of the archives that we will be devoting our attention to.

Be on the lookout for news about our video for "Trigger Finger Itch", which is receiving some additional baby powdering and spoonfuls of love from our friends at Comedy Central Studios. We are shooting for a late Sept/early October release!

Finally, to all our fans, this has been an amazing year for the band so far, and we're not even close to ending it. We got on FUSE, we will be announcing our MTV DEBUT for "In the Air (Revival)", and Jim will be giving one lucky fan guitar lessons for all of October. Buy a shirt now at the Midnight Spin Store to enter the non-existent raffle!

We will be in touch.

Love,

Midnight Spin

Hey all!

It's been amazing summer so far for the band. We found out we're going to be on FUSE On-Demand, MTV, going on tour, and even getting national radio airplay! Few details:

1. Tonight is our Rockwood Music Hall debut as we play a charity gig for "Through the Moj0 Wire" producer and cool-dude Nic Hard. We'll be taking the stage last, so come down for a good cause and a good time.

2. July 9th, Midnight Spin returns to Mercury Lounge with The Grates! It's going to be a packed house and it is THE SHOW TO SEE THIS YEAR! Buy tickets online now at Ticketmaster, as the goal here is nothing less than a sellout!

3. MIDNIGHT SPIN HITS THE ROAD. HARD. We're currently planning a two-week tour and have already begun booking shows. We will have a clearer picture very soon, but Toronto, we remember you from the Bullpen, and we hope you're ready for Round 2 on your turf.

4. 'TRIGGER FINGER ITCH" video release! This is going to be happening later on this summer, so stay tuned, we have seen a teaser that we will be posting soon, and it's looking pretty special.

See you guys soon!

Hey everyone!

We just finished our video shoot at Comedy Central and had a total blast. "Trigger Finger Itch" is going to be a great ride not only musically, but now visually. We'll be viewing a rough cut soon and have the video out in the coming months. Thanks to the great crew who worked with us.

We're hitting up Boston on May 29th, so get your tickets now! Here is the event page.

Thanks again to the bands and the Deli Magazine for the great show put on this past Thursday at Public Assembly! We made some new friends and had an amazingly sweaty and successful night, we were told by the magazine that we had the most crowded show of the whole Festival, thanks to all the fans who made it out. Be on the lookout for a future article from these guys featuring Midnight Spin.

We're writing new music. We're booking more shows. We're wearing human clothing again. We're not slowing down, and we don't want you guys to either!

See you soon,

Midnight Spin
