Hi all,
We’ve got a brand new website, with a brand new blog!
As you’ll see below, all of the previous posts are dated within a day or two of one another.This is as a result of us transferring them from an older (and decidedly less friendly) blog that has now gone the way of the dodo. You’ll note that we’ve added the original dates to the bottom of each post for the sake of posterity, and all posts going forward should be dated correctly. (UPDATE: FIXED!)
In any case, please take a look around – we’re willing to bet that there’s some stuff here that you haven’t seen before, and there will be more to come!
Cheers,
MDP
To all our various and varied friends,
There isn’t any way to say this gently.
We’ve been living a lie.
All of the music that you’ve been listening to here on our MySpace page has been for demonstration purposes only. They are what some folks refer to as “demos”. The apartment building manager tells us that you can’t make what’s referred to as a “record” — especially when using “trumpets”, “drums” and “Marshall stacks” — in what is commonly called an “apartment”.
But we’re fixing it.
Manos De Plata has been diligently working on a real record. We’re not in the habit of doing things the normal (i.e. expensive) way, so we’re in the process of recording our first official release underwater. Because we though it would be cheaper. There’s a disconnect there, but it seemed perfectly reasonable at the beginning.
In the coming weeks we’ll be putting the final touches on what we hope to be a terribly enjoyable EP. In the meantime, we’ll be getting all bloggy about it and show you how we put together a record in the engine room of a decommissioned U.S. Navy tugboat.
Fun times.
Cheers,
MDP
