A proper update!

Hey all,

We've been quiet and for that we apologize, it's not that we don't like to let people in on what we're doing, it's just that as a group we've been quite busy with what we're doing. As I sit here on a lazy Sunday afternoon in between games of NHL '10 on the PS3, I figure its time I fill you all in on what's happening with the band lately.

First up, we're sad to announce, that Cam has left the group. We're definitely sad to see him go as he has been an integral part of the bands early successes and our songwriting. Seems however, that distant lands are calling young Cam away and we in the band are happy for him and we wish him all the luck and success he deserves in the future. We were also fortunate enough to have him come in and lay down all his drum tracks for the second batch of songs for the album (more on that in a second). That being said, we're looking for a new drummer. This would be the perfect time to have someone jump right in and learn the tunes we're recording. If you guys know of anyone who's:

- serious and committed
- between the ages of 19-35
- able to play to a click track (drummers will know what this means)

then please email us at rightbymidnight@gmail.com

Onto the album. Before Christmas, Charles and I wrapped up recording on the initial 5 songs for the album. Yesterday we walked into Gallery Recording and within a matter of hours rattled off 7 new songs, well drum take wise. Everyone was thoroughly impressed with the speed and accuracy we recorded these tunes. I've been in recording sessions many many times before and I must say, never have I been privy to the type of session we had yesterday! It was awesome! Today we're back in the studio this evening to wrap up bass and hopefully take a huge bite out of the guitars! We're back in there all next weekend as well. Album is scheduled to be out May 2010. We uploaded a new track to our myspace OCEAN. Go check it out.

On the shows front, we have two special acoustic shows coming up that we'd like you to be a part of. These are going to be small, intimate acoustic shows that we will use to hand out free samplers from the record. The dates are as follows:

- February 27, 2010 - Ottawa, ON - Avant Garde Bar
- March 13, 2010 - Montreal QC - Centre Ste Ambroise

We hope to see you all there.


That's it for now.
