July News Update...

Okay, couple of things, the EP is done, the tracks are mixed and mastered I just need to make the journey to Origin Sound tommorow morning when Im finished with my first ticket for work. The studio is on the way back from the area I will be in so it works out I guess. I posted the test mix (basically the route the sound was going to go in) and it sounds great, we are happy with it. Some of you are prob wondering when this whole EP thing will get done and you can hold a copy in your hands. I want to say late August, Jason Wallachs has to do his thing and i promised him some time for him to work on it, but trust me it will be out before fall that much I can promise you. Next up is shows, if you have looked at our calender lately you will notice that we have a show booked with the venue TBA for Sept 27, this show is with the legendary Bay Area thrash band Insecticide the dude who booked it is still getting the venue situated but its official already. I was personally surprised that we were thought of for this show and we are stoked to play with these dudes for thier reunion show. Still havent heard about the Exhorder show, Im assuming we will prob still get it, this particular promoter is really good about getting with us and putting us on bills. Def cross your fingers! If you havent checked out the new track give it a listen, i took down all the unmixed tracks so look for the new ones in the next couple of days. Also the drummer situation, until further notice Mike will be doing live support for us on any upcoming shows until a new drummer comes into the fold. We should have the ep ready for Sept 27, def would be nice, shirts would be nice too. Keep checking back for more stuff!

Blood migration...

Well its been an interesting year already and its about to get more interesting. As many of you know from our bulletins Mike is departing from COYA. Another drummer will be necessary ASAP. Chances are we wont find a replacement right away, these things do take time, we have done alot of time already in the scene, we may not be the most popular band in Houston but its only a matter of time. Some one will come our way, we just need to find the right guy that is hungry for blood and ready to throw down hard and get people talking about us having some serious fire power going on. In the mean time I imagine we will rehearse new material, and get probably 5 or 6 new songs down for a set and have someone secured by Fall hopefully, and maybe by late 2008 be playing shows again. Its funny how you make all these plans for the year and a wrench always gets thrown in the gears of what your doing which causes more problems and holds everyone back eh, as the wiseman Robb always says "Thats Life". As far as our EP goes, I havent heard any news from Jason Wallach at all, whether he is working on it or not I am unsure, I am giving him until the end of May to have this worked on and finished otherwise I am assuming he has abandoned the EP and we shall continue and press it with or without his help. Also we have decided to get merch throughout the summer meaning shirts, stickers, and cd's. So there are some things to look forward to in the coming months, but as far as activities go in the COYA campground it will be a little quiet for a few months. I feel we needed this break anyhow as we need to write new material and pump some fresh blood into our veins. We WILL outlive this. It sucks that this first Summer update couldnt be told on a more positive note but losing a member and dropping off the scene for a while just wasnt in the plans at all and we are all pretty bummed about that. Keep checking back for updates on new material, drummer updates, and for merch. Please come out to these last remaining 2 shows that we have left and support us, our May 31 show will mark our final show for a good while, luckily its going to be a big show so that should be fun. We shall return. If not, use your own discriminant senses and you shall undoubtedly find us again in other forms. Thank you...
