2010.01.16 - Happy New Year! We've been working away on getting The Opposite Of Your Heart in the hands of our loving fans. CDs are now in hand, and we're gearing up for a promotional mega-blitz. In the interim, we'll be playing on last pre-CD-release show at the end of February at Sauce in Uptown Mpls, a short 300 yards from our practice location. Show up early to see us wheeling our equipment down Lyndale Avenue!
2009.12.03 - The latest: we've been extra busy! The record is off to press, and we're expecting to release it to our adoring public in late March of 2010. Of course, that's sent us headlong into all the associated toil of putting a record out: getting haircuts for publicity photos, taking band photos, photoshopping our band photos, making life-sized standup cardboard cutouts of ourselves, and then bribing record stores to display them everywhere. And all the other publicity that we do, also. AND we're playing next Thursday at the Turf Club, so come watch!
2009.10.17 - A quick note to suggest everyone come to the Triple Rock next Saturday to celebrate 21 years of chart-busting Catlick Records releases. Hope to see everyone there!
2009.09.12 - 2 updates in 1 day! We've added buy/download capabilities over on the music page - you can now purchase our record in high quality mp3 format directly from the site. Pay with Paypal, and a download key will be sent to you via email, INSTANTLY! Crazy, huh?
2009.09.12 - Welcome to the new/improved theicyshores.com! We've given the site a minor facelift in anticipation of our upcoming record "The Opposite Of Your Heart", which we're hoping will be available in the nearish future. Also, we're playing at Sauce Soundbar tonight on Lake/Lyndale, so come and dance the night away to the future darlings of Minneapolis media!
2009.06.17 - Hey everyone, things have been busy, with new children and doing artwork and booking shows and all. Things are coming together, we expect a redesigned site sometime in the nearish future, and all kinds of plans for CD release parties and things. In the meantime, we're all super excited for our show at Eclipse Records in July, which will mark our first ever all ages show. Crazy! Please mark your calendars, as July 24th will surely be etched in the annals of rock lore, and we would hate for you (or your children) to miss it.
2009.02.11 - We've finished mastering our new record, which is tentatively titled "The Opposite of Your Heart"! Finally! We've got some artwork decisions to make, and then it's off to the races with this thing - we're aiming for some time in late Spring for it to be unleashed on the world. Take cover!
2009.02.01 - We're recovering from serious rockercise on Friday night, jogging in place thinking about playing the Hex on Thursday, and wanted to say thanks to Greg at Perfect Porridge for reviewing the show at the Fine Line here. Thanks Greg! See everyone Thursday!
2009.01.21 - Happy new year! There's a ton of action in our world! The record is now completely mixed, and we've got a date set in early February for mastering. The end is nigh! Two songs from the record have been posted to our myspace page and our NEW facebook page for your early edification. Also, Nick co-wrote the song "Her Eyes Are Underneath the Ground", which is available on Antony and the Johnsons' newly released album "The Crying Light". More details here. And finally, we've got a couple of shows coming up in the next few weeks - see you soon!
2008.11.06 - Everyones: We're done with the new record, and it's mostly mixed! We're celebrating with a show at Stasiu's next weekend with Action vs. Action, Careers in Modeling and Clawthroat, which should be awesome. Bring all your friends and their hundred dollar bills.
