    New Shows/ Recording Schedule

       So we just announced a couple of new shows. One of those happens to be a Daytrotter Session which we’re really stoked about! Another is a one off hometown show with our great friend’s Today The Moon Tomorrow The Sun from ATL! Check all of that out at Moonlightbridemusic.com/tour.

      The other thing we want to talk about is recording projects. We currently have 2 planned releases. 1 will be a re-mix E.P. which is sounding incredible already! The other will be an all original Self Recorded acoustic-ish E.P. which we’re putting the finishing touches on right now. So those should be out in the next couple of months.

       All of this is of course is leading up to Album #2 which we are currently writing for. This next album is going to be a big one for us in a lot of ways. We’re pouring a lot of ourselves into it and can’t wait to get more information out to you. Either way we really appreciate all of the positive support and feedback we’re getting from Twin Lakes and are looking forward to all the things that are right around the corner.

    Best

    Video Work

    Hey,

       Just want to say thanks for all of the support first off. We’ve gotten a lot of great feedback from The “Lemonade” video that Thomas Ramsay shot. Thomas is a very talented start up director and is currently holding a fund raiser to build income to work with us on future projects. If you have any money to donate towards the cause it would be much appreciated. If not and you like his work send him a message and let him know. He’s a great dude.

       Anyway I hope everyone’s enjoying everything thus far. Can’t wait to share more soon.

    Best

    Tour

    Hey all. Hope everything is well. I’m typing this from a venue in Myrtle Beach on my iPhone so forgive any awkward spacing or grammatical errors. We’ve met some amazing people out and about. Notably Kristin from Brooklyn. Ryan from DC, Shaina And Nicole from Myrtle Beach and definitely Neal from Baltimore. When I get back I will type our Baltimore story in it’s entirety. I’m still recovering/ having trouble believing it actually happened. Either way we’ve been lucky to share the stage with our friends the winter sounds every night. They are great people. And met some other great bands and industry people as well. We will be returning home in a couple of dates completing our two weeks. Although I’ll miss it, my own bed sounds incredibly appealing right now. So just want to say hello to all of our new friends and we love you to all of our current friends. Catch up with you soon

    Moonlight in Exile

       Been an interesting month…. I’m sure most everyone heard about our rehearsal space being broken into which was a complete bummer. We’re not only short the guitars we posted, we’re also short an iPod and a Gamecube (They’ll get a gobs of cash for that thing I’m sure), and most of all we’re short a rehearsal space. 

       We knew the time would come when we would have to leave we just hate that it’s under these circumstances. That has been our home since the beginning and anyone who went up there can attest to how rad it was. It will be missed.

         However with death comes new life!!! We have been fortunate to have many friends on our side, one of whom is letting us rehearse temporarily at an undisclosed location. So that being said… If you or anyone you know has any ideas on practice spaces in the Chattanooga area please let us know! It would be much appreciated.

         As far as everything else goes I have some exciting news about the E.P. that I can’t quite share yet. Just have to wait until a few more details are ironed out and we will make an official announcement. Until then I just want to say thanks so much for the support and we will see you very soon!

    Almost There!!!

    Hello,

             Hope you’re doing well. This month has been a good one. The artwork and aesthetic of the project is coming together beautifully. The songs are solidified… Now all we need is mixing.  SO CLOSE!!!

           We have also been talking back and forth with various management and are heavily considering signing on with one soon. Almost there. 

            Our shows have been going incredible!!! And I really want to thank everyone for coming out and showing support. It really means a lot. I promise it won’t be too much longer until our new E.P. is finished. As I’ve said in the past this E.P. is meant as a complimentary piece to a full length album we’ve started work on. Crafting this E.P. to fit together with the full- length has taken some time but we have finally gotten it exactly how we want it. They share themes and ideas and the more it grows the more it all seems to make sense. Very exciting. Anyway none of this matters if you can’t hear it but I assure you it will be here sooner than you think.

         And on a final note… some of you may have heard the rumor we were considering changing our name… This is true… However, after careful consideration we have decided against it. We are who we are and that’s it!

         Anyway, As always… Thanks for the support and we look forward to everything that’s about to happen!!!

    Developing

    Hey all,

        Hope all is well. I am happy to say everything is the best it’s ever been with us internally! After a long break to write and craft our sound it feels fantastic to get out and reconnect with everyone as well as make new connections! The shows we played this past weekend were exhilarating… especially being cheered for an encore as first band at The EARL!!! Good times!!!

      Also want to mention we’ve added some folks to our lineup. Miss Winter Giamportone will be singing with us when she has the time. Her first show with us was at The EARL this past Saturday and needless to say it went over extremely well. Also, Mr. Dave Maki who helped produce “Myths” and played various instruments for us in the past has joined forces with us to be our new Bass guru.

       Anyway,  I just got the rough bounces back of our new E.P. this weekend and am beyond stoked! This release is going to be huge!!! We’ve got a lot planned in the near future including a video w/ Track 29, A gang of shows and as always…. WRITING!!! Check our facebook for updates our website is under construction and will be ready for the upcoming release!

       Also let’s not forget to give a big thanks to CreatHere for the van. Without them this would not be possible!

       Anyway, Can’t wait for everything!!! See You Soon!!!
