They Blew Up The Art School...

So it's finally summer. I just woke up and its 2:05 pm and I'm sweaty and my mouth is dry. What did I do last night... oh yeah, I sat in with a girl and almost fell asleep early. I smoked a joint and as I began to curl up with a comic ( Spider-Man :Back In Black) my phone rings and its Stephen who needs shelter for a bit on his long walk to Garson, ON. He was kind enough to bring me an Eat-More which I requested over the land line, we then proceeded to eat,drink and watch Arrested Development. After he and Kirsti left I watched a couple episodes of Dr. Who and fell asleep (apparently I smoked another joint too because theres a half smoked joint hanging out on my bedside table). So yes... It is summer, what is Bot doing?

Well we are 100% done recording,mixing, mastering, blah-blahing. Nothing has been established thus far as to a release but talk to one of us and maybe we can burn you something to tide you over until we release something a bit more substantial. We have a show July 4th at The Polish Combatants Hall, come check it out.



We would absolutely just love to play a couple local shows this summer, so get in touch with one of our many limbs (Marty, Shane, Billy, Steve) and it will report back to the brain for further investigation/confirmation.

In other news, our brothers in Lightmares have finally done it, they recorded last night and I couldn't be more stoked on it (the Lightmares link on the right will lead you to a couple of tracks, CHECK THEM OUT, I'M SERIOUS!) especially We Blew Up The Art School... it's like they just know what I want to hear.I also heard if you listen to the bridge in Ghost you can find a Neil a Don and a Drake. Bunnies in Bro-lin are also looking to record sometime so stay tuned for that, there is also a link to that on the right.

So to wrap this up I'm telling you to check out the Lightmares recording, keep an eye open for Bunnies In Berlin and talk to Bot's because they don't bite, oh yeah and we are in a bit of a jamming limbo right now as we have to keep switching jam spots for 3 more weeks..it's like trying to fuck on every surface of your house but you have to move gear every time, so it's not as fun. Oh yeah and those shirts, we should be doing that soon, I know we are slacking.

Rock and roll hoochie-coup-d'état

Hey sports-fans, we've finally got the almostly-final mixes of the shit we recorded way back when. You can check out eight of ten songs on the Botspace (www.myspace.com/wearebot ... two are unbroken, but they're actually two songs (Damn it feels good getting hammered in the spine + We were all very quick as well as Don't spit in my face and tell me it's raining + What's that dry cum on yr face?) Listen to them in whatever way you want, but you'd better listen to them. There are just a couple problems that are getting fixed, namely a bass that is having trouble being found. Otherwise, we're almost ready and there's some big shit coming up in the future, and once we have these finalfinal mixes, we're going to be making a bunch of copies, doing some packaging by ourselves, the whole DIY-punkpunk thing... maybe other stuff, but I ain't sayin' nuthin'.

Weekend Warriors

So it's Monday and the start of a new week, and the end of my long life-sucking stay within the walls of Lasalle Secondary School. I really shouldn't have gotten stuck here this long, maybe I'll burn a couple bridges, watch some people I never really cared about try and swim across and get carried away by the current before I leave. Or maybe not. This weekend was rad, I finished the last of my vocal tracks with Chris on Saturday and heard a bit of the mix. I'm fucking stoked. I then proceeded to Shane's grad party for the evening and had quite the time.I met up with Marty, Shane and some old friends and we did what we usually like to do, but in a field and a bit more excessively. Scattered bricks, scaled trees, lubricated faces and of course beers and bongs.

Back on topic, the mixing is just about done, expect to hear some of the final tunes this week, maybe even tomorrow. Chris Berthiaume of Konflit Dramatik also threw in some of his synth bits for a couple of our songs so sharpen your ears and try and listen for those gems, he's also doing a rad job mixing our shit as well as harboring our jams within the walls of the Incinerator. A big fucking thank you to that guy for letting us thrive and fester in his creative construction zone. We are diving skull first back into jamming and writing tomorrow and maybe we will have new things for you July 4th...who really knows? Anyways, I'm off to read Oryx and Crake in this freezer of a library before I eat lunch and go drive a forklift around for the afternoon. Stay tuned for the goods.

Recording

So we finally utilized all of the recording gear at our jam space in the Incinerator and recorded ten tracks, you might have even heard the rough cuts of those bad boys. All of this wouldn't have been possible without Sean or Chris at the Incinerator of course, a big thank you to those men. Anyways, we are going to be wrapping up some loose ends on Thursday and then continuing the mix and we should have something on the table for everyone in the coming weeks...oh, and some of these too.
