Make Them Like Cannons - The Final EP // 01.28.10
Well, by now most of you know that Madrid split up. Derek left the band to attend Berklee College of Music so he can work in fancy recording studios and win Grammys. But don't be sad! There are plenty of great things on the horizon!!
Before we parted ways as Madrid, we entered Avast! Recording Studios to track the remaining four songs written in our final days. With the elite engineering team of Derek Snyder and Jared MacFarlane (Barcelona, The Out Circuit, In Praise of Folly), we crafted a record full of the intensity of a dying supernova at it's finest. Titled, "Make Them Like Cannons," the EP is slated for a Spring 2010 digital release and possibly an extremely limited CD pressing.
Lastly, Shea, John and Kasey are picking up the pieces where Madrid left off and starting something completely new and refreshingly awesome! Holding themselves to the highest standards, they're writing new music and are already planning to hit the recording studio and your favorite concert venues. Expect great things, because they're coming whether you're ready or not! Stay tuned for more.
Merchandise // 03.12.09
Good news. we officially have shirts to sell you!! Printed from Seattle's own Pork Chop Screen Printing (they print shirts for Minus The Bear, These Arms Are Snakes, Himsa, etc.) they're the best shirts money can buy. They're printed on American Apparel shirts, after all.
Featuring Derek's "Lynx-Ray" design (see current myspace background), we'll be selling them at our upcoming shows for $12, so be sure to get them before they're gone! The more we can sell, the more shirts we can get designed and printed in the future! Also, be sure to pick up a CD.
Videos // 02.21.09
We've been taking our video camera around with us lately and have some live videos to show you, including an all acoustic set and our CD release show. Someday we'll get Kasey's Video Blog up and running. It'll be the best thing since the flux capacitor!
