Sex and Collide
We're not sure why...but any reason to listen to Collide is a good reason to us
Our Canadian distribution...Storming the Base of the Alien Foe recently informed us that there was a surge of sales in Calgary. We think we may know why....Comatose Rose Magazine( based in Calgary), recently sent us this bit of information
Also, according to Amazon.com, Some Kind of Strange is #4 in Patchogue, New York..maaybe there is a lot of action going on there as well.
Music and Healing (see, it's not all about sex.)
A new interview is up with kaRIN on Voices and Visions, which is a very healing website, and also contains interviews with Monica Richards of Faith & the Muse, Betsy Martin of Purr Machine, and Kristy Thirsk

Skeleton Danse
Record release party Friday May 30th at the Skeleton Danse
These words from Scott, who bought Some Kind of Strange and then e-mailed us were so good we just had to share... " The album is AMAZING. Talk about spellbinding... this album is in the realm where the music surpasses its creation. The vocals in combination with the music is like wet sex... it's like really good chocolate... its like walking on the beach... the stars aligned... its like magic fingers.... I cant quite come up with the exact metaphor... it's an accumulation of metaphors."
