It's Been A While

Terrence here.

I know its been quite some time since we posted on here. I can speak for myself and say I've been quite busy collecting myself. This has been a really growing year but next year shall be quite more exciting. We have some song idea's that I believe everyone will really love.

Columbia last night was glorious. It's crazy how strong the love is down there. We are definitely going to try and make it down there more often next year.

I've been hesitant to write about a-lot of things in my life. I don't know how long I will be but you'll know when I start writing. I'll post a little bit of the verse's from the new songs and idea's.

We have a few cool show's coming up in December as-well so keep checking the myspace!

Hug the ones you love.

Adios.

Hey guys,

I just did my first on site wedding cake yesterday. It turned out great! I've made quite a few in store, but the program was "canceled" before I took over all of the orders!



Love and peace,
-Colin

3 Shows in 5 Days

We've returned home after 5 days out and 3 days of shows, and I'm already to go out again for another week and half. This past Thursday we hit the road early and drove to NYC to watch our good friends Harvard play with Glassjaw. That was an experience in itself, mostly because it was a SECRET Glassjaw show. Besides, it's always fun to have time off in New York just to explore whenever you can. Didn't get to do too much that day, but we stayed with our Ol' Buddy Ross from Enjoy the Ride Records. Always nice enough to help us out.
The next night, the 10th, we were to play in Manhattan at Arlene's Grocery. It went pretty well minus the mix up with equipment, and getting it all suck in a room the size of my kitchen, crammed with people drinking and schmoozing. We ended up leaving a lot of it in the room because, as always in New York, you're going to have a hell of a time finding a place to park, (try it with a van and a trailer, I dare you). We played with All Grown Up, who I really enjoyed, they reminded me of Polar Bear Club. Oh, and we saw Jessica Alba and Moby that night, would have been more notable if I had gotten then to come watch us...but I didn't.
The next day we had off, and we just got to walk around, and Colin and I were stranded somehow...again, and we walked around Manhattan and Brooklyn until 8am that morning, and ended up waking up a friend of mine just to sleep on her floor for about 2 hours. (It's ok though, I got my doughnuts.) We then headed to Brooklyn for our show at The Charleston. After walking the the rain for two hours, and the left over doughnuts I bought for other people were ruined, we grabbed some food at this place, Bliss. GO THERE. Super nice lady (Don't know if I ever got her real name, so I'll call her "super nice lady ) made us all delicious vegan food. She knew we weren't from around there, only because we "said thank you like 80 times already". I ended up getting a free cup of tea, and she gave us all a free muffin.
The show was a fun one. This place is supposedly an awesome underground (literally, it's the basement of a bar) punk venue, which if you know me, you know I'm totally into. We ended up playing for the other bands. Lady Cops killed it. Although we only got to see there acoustic performance, we all fell in love. The harmonies of this band were fantastic, and the guitars complemented each other so well. Also, Hotel of the Laughing Tree played, and they were great too.
After staying up all night again to drive to DC, we got some real sleep at another Ross' house from Solar Power Sun Destroyer. He was nice enough to let us stay there even though we had never met. We woke up, went to get Falafel, and hung out at a bar across he street from the venue. We opened to show that night at the Velvet Lounge. We played with The Lights Resolve, and NASA Wives. NASA Wives was really great, even though he was a solo act, and, because Harvard and the other local ended up dropping the show, ended up headlining.
After another Falafel stop, we drove home.
I lost a dear friend and co-worker while gone. David Siekkinen passed away on the 9th after a short battle with cancer. Philip and Terrence both knew him as well. All three shows were dedicated to him. Our hearts go out to his family and friends. He will be greatly missed.
Also to Monica (Lee's wife), we hope you are feeling better.
As always, thanks so much to everyone who has ever helped us out, given us a place to stay, or pushed drunks out of the way to help get equipment out of a bar and into the van.
We'll be seeing NC and SC in the next few days!

Dying Rhythm's lyrics

Woken up from all the tree limbs
making believe their finger tips.
Off tempo scratching.
Sounds like their laughing at me.
And now it gets harder to sleep.

There's pages and place that I'll never know
all seem to fly through me as I'm staring at these walls.
There's Paris, her bedroom, London, and Rome.
I dont find much comfort in the silence of a room.
Then you tap on my window
tell me its fine, grab a girl and a gun
and take care of her life.

Somethings coming over me, something terrible
somethings coming over me and its driving me mad!

If there was a place I'd known, wouldnt you think I'd have gone.
Instead I'm in between songs and a crowd thats all been lulled.
When I finish this song you can leave my house.
I said lord when I finish this song you can leave this house.

I heard I heard
I heard them screaming out
that rhythms taken over you!

I heard I heard
I heard them screaming out
that rhythms taken over you!

There aint a place where I dont feel like I'm selling my soul
There aint a reason for leaving but this tryings getting old.

Close quarters and dying rhythms
I said I gunna cut you off before you start to talk in my head.

Whats your uses?
I heard you were just talk.
Wheres your bruises?
Cause my is written in chalk chalk chalk
Oh when I finish this song you can leave my house
I said love when I finish this song you can leave my house

Can't call the doctor cause he wont change my notes
Can't call the doctor cause he wont change my notes
Cant call the doctor cause he wont change my notes
I heard that things went wrong
I hope that I dont end just like sons, end up just like your sons
but I cant change my notes.
I heard that things went wrong.
I heard things went wrong.

Yessir

Howdy Terrence here.

Just wanted to tell everyone we haven't disappeared. We got alot of cool shows coming up (with our buddies Dignan and Harvard!) . Go check them all out at the myspace. We also have a new tour video from Atlanta done by the great Rob B. That should be posted pretty soon.

Its crazy how time has flown. Summer is over pretty much and I can say it was a very intense one. Good luck to all the college kids who recently went back. Do your best and make your parents proud.

After our short tour we will be writing some new material and hopefully getting back in the studio. More information coming soon on that!

Lastly, add us on twitter and facebook. Type in Junior Astronomers in the search on facebook and we're @jrastronomers on twitter.

This is all.
