End Of An Era

So last night was most likely our last night practicing at our weekly honing-the-craft type haunt of the last nine months or so - Premier Soundworks.

Paul the owner and all-around swell fella is officially shutting his doors as of the 15th of June. As its a full recording studio (where we recorded "Snapshot") as well as rehearsal spaces there's a lot of demolition stuff that needs to be done and it looks like its gonna start next Tuesday.

Which blows I would opine. We've had an awesome time practicing and recording there. And I think we've grown so much as a band there that I can't help but feel disappointed that its all comin' to an end.

Having said that, I'm a big believer in the whole "With change comes opportunity" philosophy. For one - Paul was in a pretty messed up lease situation with a bunch of yahoo co-tennants and a hoser landlord from what I've been able to tell. He's now going to be able to open a recording-only studio and have more time to tour/record with his band Slender Means. And... uh... for two - we've now got brand new adventures to embark on. Dunno exactly what our future practicing situation will be but I'm confident that it'll all work out.

So good luck to Paul. And to Slender Means as well - they're a fine group o' fellas. Their new album is coming out mid July. Go get one - I'm gonna.

And hell - while yer at it why not pick up a copy of the debut from yer pals in Spank? That'd be "Snapshot". Send us an email to info@spank-band.com and we'll get you your own personal copy. Soon we'll have an order form up here to make it even easier to jump on the Spank-wagon.
