The New design of our website is finally working. We designed it ourselves, and we're very proud!

February 1, 2007

We've posted a poll on myspace, and have been watching the results very closely, making sure we have plans to address the things you, our audience, care most about.


1. Tour (40%). You guys want us to tour. And we're going to tour. We're working on it, but it's hard. Touring takes some budget, and we also need a car. But it'll happen. It's good to know that's what you care about the most
.


2. itunes (21%). This surprised us: we're already selling our songs on snocap, which will get you DRM free mp3s to use anywhere you want. But since we discovered many of you would like to download our songs from itunes, we are teaming with a Florida record store (tonevendor.com) and they're going to help us put our songs on itunes.


3. Sell CDs in stores (16%). Because we're not signed to a label, physical distribution is almost impossible. That's why we use alternate routes: hundreds of you bought our album online (and we're so thankful) and a few bought them from snocap. If you own a record store, or know someone who does, and want to sell our album in your store, we would love to hear about it.


4. Make a music video (11%). Pastor Alvarado, who took most of our pictures, is working for a while now on a video with Gennifer Leong (look at her stuff on www.damenyc.com). They're doing stop motion animation with dolls.

Here's a still image from behind the scenes:
