A belated Happy New Year to everyone! After a much needed internet-free holiday break, the creative juices are flowing again. It might seem like there’s nothing going on (where are all the shows?) but in reality so much is happening. New songs with new sounds and beats are taking shape in our cold basement Chinatown rehearsal space. Without good songs, we have nothing. After spending much of last year working the new album, we are staying behind closed doors for a while to make new good, make that great, songs. The greatest gift an artist can have is continued inspiration. Maybe it’s the Chinese New Year, or maybe that holiday break really did the trick. Whatever is, I haven’t felt this creative since I started the band. Being an independent band means having to wear all the hats. So when creativity knocks it’s best to answer the door, invite her in, court her, and make something special. – Sandra
