This is a rework of a song called “Ghost Song” off of The Color Turning's album, Good Hands Bad Blood LP. Filmed and recorded on October 30, 2009. It may be available for release in the near future along with other various LP remixes. Enjoy!!

Instead of trying to explain too much of what the tour’s been like, I thought maybe showing you a few pictures might be nice…



And for what it’s worth, music journalists have written some words lately regarding our latest LP:

We just received word that, contrary to what we posted yesterday, our record will not be available today.  The official release of Good Hands Bad Blood is being moved to this Friday, August 7th.  

The good news is that we will have actual physical copies of the LP on Thursday at our Detroit Bar record release party.  The Detroit Bar is a place close to our hearts.  And we could not be more excited about this show.  We’ve seen and played many great shows there, and developed a lot of good relationships in the confines of that bar.  It’s more than a fitting venue to celebrate the release of our first full-length record.  Hope to see you there!

And if your day is ruined…

AOL’s Spinner is holding a full CD Listening Party for “Good Hands Bad Blood”. Listen to the entire record before it comes out tomorrow! It’s only streaming until August 9th so get your stream on!

Also, we’ve been featured on MySpace’s “This Week On MySpace”. Check it out by visiting MySpace’s music section.

Tomorrow, August 4th, marks the release of our first full length record Good Hands Bad Blood!

Good Hands Bad Blood will be available via iTunes and other select digital/actual record stores. Of course, we’ll have copies of the LP at all our shows.

If you want to buy a physical copy (which is highly recommended…artwork is still cool!) you can do so on Thursday August 6th when we celebrate the release of the record at Detroit Bar in Costa Mesa. We’re playing with our good friends, Yellow Red Sparks and The New Limb.



I’ll post a direct iTunes link tomorrow for those of you that want to purchase it digitally. You’ll then have 2 days to learn all the songs and sing along at the show on Thursday.

After writing that post title, I feel like Crazy Gideon – you know, that guy on local Los Angeles cable TV who screams nonsense at the top of his lungs about how he can’t believe he’s offering so much stuff for almost free. Anyway…

LP Release Party @ Detroit Bar

As you know, our new album “Good Hands Bad Blood” will be available in less than a week… August 4th to be exact. We’re playing with our good friends Yellow Red Sparks and The New Limb. We’re really, really excited about this lineup. Come join us if you already haven’t marked your calendars. All the details are on our tour page.

If you can’t wait a week to get your hands on the new record,

New Yorkers!  We’re flying out to your wonderful city tomorrow for a few shows.  That is, if we make it to LAX on time.  It’s 2am and I haven’t finished packing yet.  Ugh.  Gotta wake up early and deal with taping up and securing my equipment before the flight.  We’re backlining a ton of gear but bringing stuff like guitars, pedals, keyboard, cymbals and percussion.  Let’s hope we get the less “aggressive” airline luggage crew.

It’s our first time out to the East Coast so we’re really excited.  If you see half a guitar and keyboard hanging out of a taxi cab, it’s probably us.  Stop and say hi.  We have two shows on Thursday — The Cake Shop (6:30pm) and Fontana’s (9:35pm).  Check out our tour section for all the details.

And if you're just dying to get your hands on some new music, and next week isn't…
