October greetings from The Color Guard!
We're writing to tell you about two thangs:
--- Our upcoming EP/DVD
--- The Color Guard Radio
So here goes:
--- We're just about finished mixing our new, six-song EP "Cornucopia"! It's
scheduled for
release in January 2007, packaged with a DVD of our last show at CBGB's Gallery.
We've been working at JoshÕs home studio in Rockland County. After basic
tracking at
NYUÕs Clive Davis Department of Recorded Music, Josh recorded guitar overdubs
and all
the vocals in his 1749 family house among the trees and wild turkeys.
"Cornucopia" radiates with color, fragrance, and a multitude of shapes. A harp
spreads
angelic sweetness across the palate in 'Heavenly Feeling.' The song 'Capture'
unites an
exciting arithmetic rhythm with a glorious pop verse that takes a snapshot of a
perfect
day. The garage walls shake during 'I Had a Dirty Dream About You' and 'Unloaded
Gun'. A
new love affair becomes an 'Experiencia Exotica' as Lalena rolls her tongue
around the
Spanish she learned while living in Mexico. Perhaps the most surprising dish,
'Kick Ass
Instrumental' loads hearty helpings of grinding rock trippiness onto the
platter, in tribute
to The Color GuardÕs noise-metal tour friends in Providence. Call it a
six-course feast.
We'll have some audio clips posted soon! Meanwhile:
--- Listen to The Color Guard Radio! We designed our own internet radio station
on
Pandora.com with a bunch of our influences and favorite artists, plus whatever
else
Pandora thinks is similar. It's fun! Link to The Color Guard Radio:

Or,
You can even add The Color Guard to a station you design yourself!
That's it for now. Have a good weekend...we hope you're getting to work on your
Halloween costumes!
